Pilots Fall 8-3, Redhawks Sweep Weekend

BELLEVUE, Wash. – The Portland Pilots (23-17) took another loss to the Seattle U Redhawks (13-25) this past Saturday, falling 8-3. The loss gives Seattle the season series and a sweep for the weekend.

Eli Morse took his second loss of the year for Portland after allowing nine hits and seven runs with just four strikeouts in 4.1 innings pitched. Brock Gillis and Peter Allegro were the only other two Pilots to make appearances.

Ty Saunders was the top batter for Portland, going 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI's. He was one of tthree Pilots to earn multiple hits on the day, with Jake Holcroft and Christian Cooney both going 2-for-4. The Pilots as a team had nine hits for three runs.

Seattle U scored the first run in the bottom of the opening inning. Matt Boissoneault smashed a single into left field that gave the Redhawks an early 1-0 lead.

Two more runs came for the Redhawks in the bottom of the fourth. A fielder's choice with a runner on third got Seattle U the first run. Then the second run came off a wild pitch from Morse. Morse's misfire made it 3-0 Redhawks with five innings to play.

Seattle's biggest scoring inning came in the fifth inning, where they scored four runs to take a commanding lead. One run came in off an RBI single from Derek Gellos. Boissoneault then got the Redhawks on the board with an RBI double. Aidan Welch punctuated the inning with a two-run home run that made it 7-0 Redhawks.

The Pilots showed signs of life in the top of the seventh. Ty Saunders went yard for the second time this season with two runners already on base, with the three-run homer cutting the Redhawks' lead to just four.

The Redhawks padded back their lead with a solo home run in the eighth from Gavin Rork, giving Portland one more chance to get back in it. Unfortunately for the Pilots, despite getting multiple runners on base, they couldn't bring anyone home, falling 8-3.

Next up, the Pilots will resume WCC play with a three-game series against the Santa Clara Broncos in California. The series will start on Friday, May 6 with a game at 6 p.m. Check PortlandPilots.com for live stats and video.
