In the Salem-Keizer seventh, Yorlis Rodriguez led off with a double to right. Labour doubled to right, driving him in and put- ting the Volcanoes back in the lead. Boise answered with a run in the eighth. With Yoel Veras pitching, Trey Jacobs singled, went to third on a single by Joe Aeilts, and scored on a fi elder’s choice.

Israel Cruz, who had entered the game to start the 11th, was the winning pitcher at 1-0. Volcanoes manager Mark Hallberg, who praised his players for their teamwork, said many questions remained, especially with several players yet to arrive. “Two of them just got in on the plane today,” he said. Genoves, who had a much faster start at the plate than he did for the Volcanoes last season, said, “I’m still learning. We’re all working at it.” The attendance in the re- vamped Volcanoes Stadium was 2,906.

They also used 10 pitchers. The biggest blow of the game was a home run by Beiker Mendoza in the second inning with Franklin Labour on base.
