Lefties blast off

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles belted five home runs, including two deep bombs by Ronnie Rust, one of them a grand slam, as the Lefties dropped the Highline Bears 13-7 Wednesday night at Civic Field.

Rust tallied a Lefties season-high seven RBIs on the night to lead the way for Port Angeles in the nonleague victory.

Other home run hitters on the night for the Lefties were Nick DiPonzio, Nick Berry and Justin Fugitt.

DiPonzio also flashed some serious glove when he robbed a potential home run by Highline’s Dakota Hill in center field in the fourth inning.

Port Angeles improved to 14-14 overall on the summer with the win.

The Lefties are 10-13 in West Coast League play and will visit Cowlitz (7-16) tonight for the first of a three-game road trip in Longview.
