Pilots Drop Opener to Gonzaga 12-6

SPOKANE, Wash. – The Portland Pilots dropped the first game of three against the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Friday, losing 12-6. The Pilots go to 20-11 on the year and 6-4 in WCC play.
 
Aaron Louis recorded a career-high three hits on the day, going 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI. Trey Swygart, Leo Cote and Jonas Salk all recorded multiple hits on the day as well, with each batter going 2-for-3. Cote hit his third home run of the season with a two-run shot in the second inning and Salk hit a late solo bomb for his sixth of the year. Salk has 24 now for his career, tied for the ninth most in program history.
 
Trey Newmann took the loss in the start, his fourth of the year. Newmann allowed six runs and eight hits in 3.2 innings. Swygart also pitched today for Portland, going 3.1 innings with six runs counted against him – five earned – and nine hits. Grady Keljo threw an inning for Portland as well allowing a hit and two runs, though both runs counted against Swygart.
 
How it Happened
 
Gonzaga started the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first inning. But the Pilots soon took the lead for themselves with a pair of runs coming home on Cote's two-run shot over the left field wall. The Pilots led 2-1 midway through the second.
 
Gonzaga took over from there, scoring six unanswered from the third through the fifth inning. Portland finally got back on the board with a two-run single from Swygart, making it 7-4 Zags. But Gonzaga scored one more run in the sixth and then four more in the eighth to give themselves some cushion. Portland scored twice in the ninth off the solo shot from Salk and the RBI double from Louis, but still fell 12-6.
