Hawks fly past Bears
June 29, 2009 by YH-R Sports
BOISE, Idaho — Two early runs were not enough as the Boise Hawks rallied to beat the Yakima Bears 3-2 in the opener of a three-game series Sunday at Memorial Stadium.
The Bears scored unearned runs in the first and second innings, but couldn’t give starting pitcher Chris Odegaard any more support.
Odegaard allowed just two runs on four hits in five innings of work for the Bears.
Yakima opened the scoring early when leadoff man Dan Kaczrowski scored on a wild pitch. He had reached base on a fielding error by Boise’s George Matheus.
Another error in the second inning allowed Tyrell Worthington to reach base. He would score on a double to left field by Andrew Fie.
The Hawks would get one of those runs back in the third inning, when Jose Valdez scored on a groundout by Matheus.
Kevin Soto scored the tying run on a passed ball.
Boise scored what would end up being the game-winning run in the bottom of the sixth when Greg Rohan scored on a sacrifice fly by Jordan Petraitis.
Jeffry Antigua (1-1) allowed no runs in four innings of work for the victory.
Yakima’s Jake Hale (0-1) took the loss.
Mike Perconte worked the ninth inning for his first save of the season.
