Senior
Dylan Wright (pictured above) broke up a 1-1 tie with a three-RBI double to the gap in left-center field with the bases loaded, bases clearing to lead the Pacific University baseball team to a 4-1 win over
Whitworth on Saturday afternoon.
The Boxers (2-4) loaded the bases in the sixth inning against Whitworth reliever Hugh Smith, who brought the attention of numerous Major League baseball scouts to Chuck
Bafaro Stadium, with his dominating 6'10 frame.
With two outs, a pair of walks and a single loaded the bases for Wright. The senior right fielder from Gilbert, Arizona emptied the bases with a double to the spacious gap in left-center field to put the Boxers ahead for his third hit on the day.
The Pirates (2-4) - who lost its third consecutive - were led by a three-hit day by Joel Condreay, who were limited to four hits by a pair of Pacific pitchers
Casey Brown (pictured below) and
Cole Kanazawa.

Brown, who was celebrating his birthday, gave up a run in the third inning to the visitors from Spokane, Washington. He bounced back to retire 13-straight batters before handing the ball to Kanazawa, who on Friday pitched the final three innings for a win. The senior from Honolulu repeated the success, shutting down the Pirates in order in the eighth and in the ninth for his first save of the young season.
The Boxers will wrap up the weekend with a doubleheader on Sunday at 2 p.m. with non-league contests against Lewis & Clark and at 5 p.m. against Whitman.
