Tammaro Tanks Tigers with two Homers, Pilots Sweep Series

PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland Pilots (23-15, 10-8 WCC) earned the sweep over the Pacific Tigers (11-27, 2-13 WCC) with a 5-3 win at Joe Etzel Field. The sweep is Portland's first in WCC play and their third of the season.

Eli Morse earned his sixth win of the season after going 7.2 innings with three runs and nine hits allowed and eight strikeouts. Peter Allegro earned his ninth save of the season and second of the series, going 1.1 innings with no runs allowed. The save is Allegro's 12th of his career, putting him at fourth all-time for the Pilots.

Portland had five runs off 10 hits. Three different Pilots had two hits or more, with Jake Tsukada going a team-best 3-for-4. Trace Tammaro, however, was the hero at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI's. Ben Patacsil was also 2-for-4 at the plate with an RBI.

The Pilots were first on the board, scoring off an RBI single courtesy of Tsukada. But the Tigers responded immediately after, taking advantage of a poor throw from catcher Nich Klemp to first base to bring in a run and make it 1-1.

Portland scored two runs in the bottom of the third right after. The first run came off a solo homer from Tammaro, his fifth of the year. The second run came off an RBI double to left from Ben Patacsil, whose hit brought Jake Holcroft home. Portland led 3-1 after three innings.

The Tigers pushed Portland in the fifth, scoring one more run off a single by Brandon Motheral to cut the Pilots' lead to one. But Tammaro ensured the score wouldn't stay that way, stepping up to the plate with one out and a runner on first in the bottom of the seventh and hitting a two-run homer that made it 5-2 Portland. The second bomb puts him in a tie for first on the team in home runs at six.

Pacific scored one more run off Morse in the eighth to cut the lead to two, but Allegro and the Pilots held them off the rest of the way, winning 5-3.

Next up, the Pilots will head north to Seattle to take on the Seattle U Redhawks. They'll play twice, first on Friday, April 29 at 4 p.m. and again on Saturday, April 30 at 12 p.m. Check PortlandPilots.com for live stats and streaming options.
