| Riley Storedahl picked up the win Friday |
LONGVIEW – The Tritons regrouped after a disappointing loss
in the opening game of the NWAC tournament to beat Walla Walla 6-2 in a
loser-out game Friday at Story Field. No. 2-ranked Edmonds survives another day
and will face the loser of tonight's Lower Columbia/ Treasure Valley contest at 2:05
pm on Saturday.
The Warriors scored Friday’s first run when Cody Price
singled home Clayton Ayers in the top of the second. EdCC responded with three
in the home half of the frame, however, aided by a couple of WWCC errors.
Steven Weber and Vinny Catanzaro both came through with RBI singles in the inning.
Jesse Moore hit a sac fly in the third and Ben Roquet
singled home Jamie Umbinetti in the sixth to give Edmonds a 5-1 advantage. The
Warriors plated a run in the seventh but EdCC answered with a run of its own in
the eighth for the 6-2 final score.
Riley Storedahl improved to 7-2 by pitching 6.2 strong
innings. The freshman allowed two runs on six hits with seven strikeouts. Brian
Way and Brady Batt were used in relief roles and both kept the Warriors off the
board.
Umbinetti was the lone Triton with two hits. Ayers went
3-for-4 in the losing effort for Walla Walla.
With the win Edmonds improved to 33-11 on the year and stays
alive in a quest for a ninth NWAC title. The Warriors end the year with a 31-17
mark.
