DUST DEVILS NOTES
-Starter Keythel Key (4 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 8 Ks) and reliever Leonard Garcia (W, 2-0) teamed up to cover almost the entirety of game two, with Jake Smith getting the final out to strand the bases loaded in the 7th and complete the shutout. Key struck out four in a row between the 1st and 2nd innings, controlling the Eugene lineup in his first outing of the year, and Garcia struck out four in his 2.2 innings of work.
-2B Adrian Placencia had a big night at the top of the order, going 2 for 3 with an RBI double that opened the scoring in the 2nd inning and scoring three runs in the contest. SS Arol Vera and RF Randy De Jesus added RBI singles in a four-run 4th inning that stretched Tri-City’s lead to 6-0. 1B Ryan Nicholson’s 7th inning RBI single added the extra point and extended his hitting streak to seven games. The lefty also went 2 for 3 with an RBI double in game one of the doubleheader.
-C Peter Burns hit his first professional home run in the top of the 2nd inning of the first game of the day, blasting a ball over the right field wall into the Emeralds bullpen. The longball came in the Reading, Massachusetts native’s 43rd game in the pros.
-RHP Jorge Marcheco made a spot start in game one of the doubleheader, with relievers Sam Ryan and Max Gieg following him to cover the rest.
