JULY 2, 2021, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A23 Sam Jones to score from third. In the top of the sixth, the Campesinos got an unearned run off Volcanoes pitcher Brenden Nipp. After being hit by a pitch, Collin Runge advanced to second on a balk, then stole third. Volcanoes catcher Brenden Barnes tried to throw out Runge at third, but the ball got past his intended target and went into the outfi eld, allowing Runge to score. Nipp went fi ve innings in relief for the Volcanoes and struck out seven while only giving up fi ve hits, but in the top of the eighth, a clutch hit from Phillips tied the game at 4-4. Phillips blasted a ball to the warning track in deep right fi eld. Volcanoes right fi elder Tony Holton initially looked like he had made the catch at the wall, but dropped it on the transfer. Much to Holton’s dismay, the base umpire ruled it a no-catch. Phillis came into third for a triple, but when the relay thow sailed past the cutoff man, the league’s RBI and home run leader came into score, giving the Campesinos all the momentum. “I have noticed that pitchers have kind of been pitching to me diff erently, throw- ing a lot of off -speed stuff ,” Phillips said. “I was thinking about hitting the ball to right center and letting the ball get deep, and it played in my favor tonight,” Phillips said. After Andrew Baxter came in to pitch a 1-2-3 frame in the bottom of the eighth, the Campesinos off ense broke the game open in the top of the ninth. Fernando Rosales got the threat going with a one-out, pinch-hit double, then advanced to third on an error from the Volcanoes. Chung came through with the go-ahead RBI-single moments later, which was followed by an RBI-double by Phillips, putting the Campesinos up 6-4. “I think it was us just trusting our approaches and doing what we have to do as a team to score runs,” Phillips said. The Campesinos got two more insur- ance runs on a sacrifi ce fl y by Runge and an RBI-single from Morrison. “We had a lot of barrels early, they were just right at guys. But they stuck with it. They stuck with their approach and they stayed resilient,” Robertson said. They don’t take any pitches off .” M emorial C enters ◆ C remation & B urial Simplicity - Convenience - Low Cost simple cremation simple direct burial church funeral ◆ $795 ◆ $995 ◆ $2965 Salem Portland Eastside 275 Lancaster Dr SE Salem, OR 97317 832 NE Broadway Portland, OR 97232 1433 SE 122nd Ave Portland, OR 97233 (503) 581-6265 (503) 783-3393 (503) 783-6865 Tualatin Tigard Milwaukie 8970 SW Tualatin Sherwood Rd Tualatin, OR 97062 12995 SW Pacifi c Hwy Tigard, OR 97223 16475 SE McLoughlin Blvd Milwaukie, OR 97267 (503) 783-6869 (503) 653-7076 (503) 885 -7800 “Easy Online Arrangements” CrownCremationBurial.com Bryan Ruby (right) greets Drew Schutt at home plate after Schutt blasted a three-run homer in the second inning.
