CLAREMONT, Calif. — Dylan Wright hit a grand slam homer during an eight-run sixth inning to help lead the Pacific baseball team past Pomona-Pitzer on Saturday afternoon, completing a series sweep for the Boxers at Alumni Field.

The Boxers won today's slugfest, 16-11. After also scoring 19 and 25 runs respectively in the other two wins over the Sagehens, Pacific tallied a grand total of 60 runs in the three lopsided victories.

The Boxers have now won ten straight games, improving to 17-9 overall. Pomona-Pitzer is now 12-10.

Wright hit the grand slam, the Boxers had 15 hits and Walker Olis established a new Pacific single-season stolen base record (20), but in the first inning it looked like the day might belong to the Sagehens.

The hosts scored six times in the bottom of the first, rapping seven base hits to chase Boxer starter Kyler Knieriem out of the game. Knieriem came into the contest with a 3-0 record and 1.42 ERA, but was roughed about today for six runs in just two-thirds of an inning of work.

Trailing 6-0, the Boxers began slowing chipping away at the Sagehen lead. Shane Suyama and Kane Ulrich had hits that led to Pacific's first run in the second inning, while Olis stole his first base of the day and came home on Wright's RBI single in the third to make it 6-2.

In the Boxer fifth, Olis singled, grabbed a bag again and then came home on Joey Galeno's double (6-3). The doors then blew open in the sixth inning when Sagehen pitchers issued six walks and the Boxers took advantage with Wright's grand slam and Ben Duerr's two-run double. It was a two-out rally for Pacific and gave them a 11-6 lead that they wouldn't relinquish.

Pomona-Pitzer would score three runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh, but the Boxers countered with a five-run seventh inning, fueled in part by a two-run double by Ulrich and a Galeno RBI-single.

Ulrich was a perfect 4-for-4 on the day with four RBI, while Galeno added three hits in five trips to the plate. Wright finished with a pair of hits and five RBI. Olis and Charlie Dietrich each crossed the plate three times.

Olis is now a perfect 20-for-20 on the season in stolen base attempts, breaking the Pacific single-season record previously held jointly by Kyle Bunting (2001) and Dave Feist (1985).

Eric Purcell came out of the bullpen to pick up the win on the mound, pitching 4.2 innings and allowing five hits, three earned runs, a walk, and a strikeout. He is now 1-3 on the season.

The Boxers will return home next weekend to host Willamette on a three-game series on Saturday and Sunday.
