PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles boys baseball team shined in all facets of the game — pitching, defense, baserunning and timely hitting — to beat Orting 8-3 in a nonleague game at Civic Field on Friday.

Roughriders pitchers Parker Pavlak and Abe Brenkman scattered six hits and three walks and let their defense to the work as they didn’t record a strikeout the entire game. The Riders also didn’t make a single error all game.

Pavlak went 5⅓ innings, allowing five hits and three earned runs for the victory, while Brenkman went 1⅔ innings, allowing just one hit.

The Roughriders scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to blow the game open. Zach DeBray had a clutch RBI double and Bryce DeLeon had a two-run double. Carston Seibel alertly came in the score from third base on a wild pitch.

DeLeon finished 2-for-3 and also scored a run. Seibel finished 2-for-3 with a stolen base. Carson Waddell had a hit, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base. Easton Fisher had a hit, two runs scored and two RBIs.

Port Angeles (3-7, 7-8) returns to Olympic League play Tuesday at Bremerton (5-6, 5-7).
