The Dalles 10-11s out early

Bend struck for eight runs in the top of the first inning and 11 more in the fourth.

Keegan Losee walked to lead off the bottom of the first and scored TD’s only run on a double steal.

Carson Smith and Andru Weaver also drew walks in the first but TD didn’t record its first and only hit until Weaver singled to left field in the bottom of the fourth.

“They’re just sluggers,” TD manager Rob Garrett said of Bend. “The problem is they hit so hard and so strong. The hitting was the issue and we had some jitters. We made a couple errors in the first inning and got our heads down. Attitude is everything.”

TD got off to a better start Monday against HRV, scoring three runs in the top of the first.

However, Hood River answered with six runs in the bottom of the first, five in the second and two more in the third to end both the game and TD’s run in the tournament early.
