The Dalles baseball team had an 8-7 lead through four innings, but errors and erratic pitching helped Pendleton score nine runs in the final two innings in a 16-8 loss Tuesday at Bob White Field in Pendleton.
Offensively, the Riverhawks notched 10 hits, including a home run off the bat of Zach Anderson, received three walks and three hit batters.
Anderson popped his first-career varsity grand slam to draw TD to within a 5-4 deficit and then Dominic Smith capped the five-run third frame with an RBI single to score Henry Lee, who was hit by a pitch following Anderson’s round tripper.
TD stranded 10 runners, seven in scoring position.
Anderson went 2 for 5 with a double, two runs scored and five RBI; Smith added two hits in his four at-bats with two RBIs; and Lee added a hit, a walk and a hit by pitch in two at-bats with two runs scored and an RBI.
Ben Nelson was 2 for 3 with a double and a sacrifice; Dalles Seufalemua went 1 for 2 with a walk and a hit by pitch; Baily Hajicek finished 1 for 2 with a run scored; Jordan Wetmore tallied a single and was hit by a pitch in four at-bats; and both Gabe Helseth and Mac Abbas scored a run apiece.
Wetmore got the start and tossed two innings of three-hit ball, allowed three runs, with two walks and two strikeouts for the no-decision.
Anderson, Spencer Honald and Nelson pitched the last five frames and combined to give up 13 runs, eight earned, on six hits with 12 walks and three strikeouts.
Now riding a three-game losing streak, TD (3-11 overall, 0-3 league) looks to get back on track in a league doubleheader starting at noon Saturday in Hermiston versus the No. 21-ranked Bulldogs (5-10, 1-2).
Just three days after being swept by Pendleton in a Columbia River Conference doubleheader, The Dalles softball squad stayed in contention with the No. 2-ranked Buckaroos, down 4-0 through three innings, until a six-run fourth-inning outburst gave the home team a 10-0 mercy-ruled victory Tuesday in Pendleton.
TD had its best chance to score in the second inning, trailing by a 1-0 margin, as Maddie Troutt singled, Emma Smith doubled, and Emma Weir walked to load the bases with two outs.
Pendleton starting pitcher Lauren Richards then struck out the next batter on three pitches to retire the side.
The Hawks had one base runner over the final three innings, a two-out single by Troutt.
All told, The Dalles posted three hits, with Troutt going 2 for 2, Smith ending up 1 for 2 and Weir finishing with a walk in her lone at-bat.
Pendleton (13-1 overall, 3-0 league) totaled eight hits, a walk, had six batters hit by pitches and went 6 for 6 on stolen base attempts.
Aspen Genter was 3 for 3 with two runs scored and two RBIs for the Buckaroos, and teammate Alexi Brehaut was 2 for 3 with a double, a stolen base, a run scored and two RBIs.
Kilee Hoylman and Courtney Hert saw time in the circle, and combined to allow 10 runs, six earned, on three errors, with one strikeout.
