Aragon, and Josh Magee’s
double to right drove in
Bean and White with Aragon
reaching third.
John Timmins relieved
Pino, and Lopez singled to
right, scoring Aragon. Kelvin
Melean hit into a force out
that let Magee score. Another
force out ended the top of the
eighth with Tri-City ahead
7-3.
With John Zimmerman
taking the mound for the
Dust Devils in the Volcano
eighth, Kirby walked and
went to second on Medrano’s
single to left. Geraldo drove
Kirby home with a single to
center and reached second
on a throw by center fi elder
Carter. Zimmerman retired
the next three batters.
Asuncion led off the Tri-
City ninth with a double to
right and went to third on a
wild pitch. Carter struck out,
and Bean scored Asuncion
with a single to right. White
singled to left, moving Bean
to second. Aragon fl ew out
to right, and Magee tripled to
right, driving Bean and White
home.
A new pitcher, Evan Miller,
retired the Volcanoes in order
in the bottom of the ninth.
Smith was the winning
pitcher, and Pino took the
loss.
After praising Woods’
pitching, Volcano manager
Jolbert Cabrera said factors
in the loss were that the Dust
Devils “just found holes” in
Salem-Keizer’s game, includ-
ing a hanging slider that al-
lowed Asuncion’s homer.
“A few guys took too
many bases,” he said.
Woods, asked whether his
several pitches included an
“out” pitch, said it depended
on the batter. He added that
Mainwaring did a good job
calling pitches.
Geraldo said through a
translator that the Volcanoes
generally needed to keep
working at things to start
winning.
A crowd of 1,542, very
small for a season opener,
came to the stadium on a day
when rain fell harder in some
parts of the Salem-Keizer area
than others.

by a run. Kevin Rivera tripled
and scored on a single by Juan
Rodriguez.
In the Salem-Keizer sixth,
Christoph Bono singled, went
to second on a balk call, and
stole third base. Tri-City man-
ager Ben Fritz and pitching
coach Josh Spence were ejected
for arguing too heatedly. Rich-
ard Amion singled Bono home,
but the Dust Devils answered
with the fi nal run of the game
in the eighth. Luis Asuncion

third on an error, and scored as
Kevin Melean singled.

ning pitcher and John Timmins
the loser, both in relief. Austin

road series, the Volcanoes

each side, by Salem-Keizer’s
Malique Ziegler in the fi rst
with the bases empty and one
by Hillsboro’s Kyle Smith with
a man on in the fourth.

replaced early in the fi fth. John
Timmins was the losing pitch-
er and Cody Clark the winner,
striking out six in his three in-
nings.
