BELLEVUE, Wash. --- In a game that was shortened to eight innings due to a time limit, the Portland Pilots and Seattle Redhawks tied 10-10 in a non-conference baseball contest played on Wednesday afternoon at Bannerwood Park. The game had a time limit due to a high school contest that was scheduled to follow the Pilots and Redhawks at the ballpark.
 
It was close for the first few winnings with the Pilots (6-22-1) nursing a slight lead before they broke it open with a six-run fifth inning. Both Mike Hicks and Dutton Elske had a two-run single during the frame, which ended with the Pilots leading 10-3.
 
Seattle (9-18-1) got two runs back in the home half of the inning before scoring five runs, all coming with two outs, in the sixth to level the score. The first two batters of the inning were retired before back-to-back doubles brought home the first run to begin the comeback. Michael Ciancio drove in the tying run with a single to left field.
 
That's all the scoring the two teams could produce as they hurried to finish before time ran out.
 
Both teams used six pitchers on the day.
 
Cody Hawken and Michael Forgione also had two RBI's for the Pilots, while Seattle's Sean Sutton knocked in three runs.
 
The Pilots next return home to host the Pepperdine Waves for a three-game West Coast Conference series at Joe Etzel Field this weekend. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, while Sunday's finale will begin at 1 p.m.
