COLLEGE BASEBALL

YVCC swept, falls out of first

ONTARIO, Ore. — Unable to hold leads in both games, Yakima Valley was swept by Treasure Valley 6-5 in 11 innings and 6-4 in a baseball doubleheader between the NWAACC East Region co-leaders at the start of Saturday.

The opener was particularly stinging for the Yaks (7-5 league) since they got nine stellar innings from Jake Fife and then took a 5-1 lead in the top of the 11th, with the four-run rally capped by Will Chavarria’s two-run double.

But the Chukars answered with five in the bottom of the 11th, with Chase Miller’s two-run single tying the game, and Mitch Skaggs scoring the winning run on an error by third baseman Kyle Mall.

Fife allowed just three hits, walked two and struck out five in his outing.

Yakima Valley grabbed a 4-0 lead after 31/2 innings of the second game, helped by J.R. Weigel’s solo homer, but the home team again had a response, scoring once in the fourth, tying things with three in the fifth and plating the winning runs in the seventh.

In the fifth, Ryan Wright singled with the bases loaded and an error by left fielder Kyle Thompson allowed the third run to score.

The go-ahead run in the seventh scored on a bases-loaded walk by Carson Miller, and an insurance run came home on Brady Harris’ RBI groundout.
