Pirates Keep Winning

The Inland Valley Pirates extended their winning streak to three games on Saturday night defeating the San Diego Waves 10-9 in a slugfest.

The Pirates fell behind 1-0 in the first, but responded immediately with two in the bottom of the frame when Alec Petrone and Jacob Blackiston scored.

The Waves grabbed a 4-2 lead in the third, but the Pirates answered again with one in the fourth to cut it to 4-3 on a Hayden Wright sacrifice fly.

The Waves went back to work scoring in the top of the fifth once to make it 5-3, which set the stage for the best inning of the season so far for the Pirates’ bats.

12 hitters came to the plate in the bottom of the fifth and Inland Valley scored seven runs to take a 10-5 lead. Conlan McKenzie, Koby Glass and Jake Bryant each had RBI knocks in the inning.

The Waves fought back to make it 10-9, but Hayden Wright earned the save with help from Jahshua Jones who made a diving catch in center field to record the final out.

Art Corona earns the win.

The Pirates take on the Signal Hill Oilers in Sunset League play on Sunday at Cal Poly Pomona.
