Columbia Basin defeated Treasure Valley in a pair of Friday games by scores of 13-2 and 6-5. Simon Lemke and Ryker Stevens combined for 8 innings, 0 runs as starters today on the bump.

GAME 1

Treasure Valley helped CBC open up the day with a big inning allowing 3 runs on no hits with 4 walks and a HBP. The CBC bats were able to take it from there. Both Brayden Mayencourt and Trevor Dale logged 3 hits a piece with Dale driving in 4 including Mayencourt. In a short outing, Lemke was solid giving up one early hit but striking out 3 over his 3 innings of work for the day. In the top of the 3rd, Dale helped extend the lead to 7-0 with a bases loaded 2-RBI single with Wyatt Lizama plating another right behind him.

In the 6th, Mayencourt drove in one while Dale and Lizama again had back-to-back singled for 3 more runs leading to the eventual 13-2 finish in 7 innings.

GAME 2

Another solid outing for Ryker Stevens in his third start of the year. The sophomore righty went 5 strong allowing just 3 hits and no runs. Christian Jarocki walked in the first run of the game in the 1st to give CBC a quick lead once again. A sac fly from Xavier Streadbeck in the 2nd continued the early scoring. Stevens was able to dominate with 4 strikeouts in the middle innings as the bats kept adding runs. In the top of the 3rd, Elijah Havey added an RBI single to make it 3-0.

In the 4th, Kevin Brekke and Elliott Taylor were able to bring home 3 more as Taylor's single went through the outfielder's glove to the wall allowing Brekke to come all the way around for the crucial 6th run. From there, Treasure Valley was able to peck away at the CBC bullpen with 2 in the 7th and 2 more in the 8th before Jack Fenton was asked to come in and clean it up for the 2-inning save. Fenton induced a bases loaded line out and ground ball to get out of the jam in the 8th. In the bottom of the 9th, a leadoff batter reach on a triple to right field with the ball getting lost in the sun. The Chukars then plated the run with a sac fly followed by walk. A failed pickoff attempt sent the tying run to 3rd base with 1 out. Fenton struck out the final two hitters to preserve the 6-5 final with both hitters going down looking.

The wins bump CBC to 8-2 on the year with a 6-game winning streak in progress. They will return to the diamond on Tuesday and Wednesday against Grays Harbor. First pitch on Tuesday scheduled for 12pm.
