PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles took advantage of seven Redmond Dudes errors, a fan batted and reached base three times and Kam Koester notched the go-ahead double and a solo home run in the Lefties’ 8-7 win Sunday.

The Lefties’ lineup consisted of 10 batters for the non-league contest, including designated hitter Jon Whitehead, a fan who was awarded the start following an in-game promotional event victory Saturday night.

Whitehead reached base three times, moving over a base runner with a solid bunt and reaching on the pitcher’s throw to first base. He also recorded an RBI, walked and reached base on another Dudes’ error.

Port Angeles relief pitcher Cade Stuart recorded the win in his season debut, pitching three innings in which the Lefties scored five total runs.

The game’s losing pitcher was Jordan Chase after surrendering three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Port Angeles recorded three doubles and a sacrifice fly to secure the lead for good.

Ethan Young earned the save, pitching the final two innings.

The Lefties begin a three-game road series across the Strait of Juan de Fuca today against the Victoria Harbourcats.
