PORT ANGELES — Pinch-hitter Zach Lovik ripped a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Roughriders their third victory of the year Tuesday at Civic Field.
The Riders improved to 3-4 in Olympic League and overall competition, while the Eagles fell to 5-3 in league, tied for third place with Olympic.
“We started off the game with two quick runs, and I think the kids kind of relaxed,” Port Angeles coach Chad Wagner said.
“Next thing you know it was 5-2 [and] we are trailing. We had a talk about not giving in and that we had to compete every at-bat.
“Our kids responded great, scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh to win the game.”
Port Angeles starting pitcher Michael Konopaski struck out five in four innings, giving up just two earned runs on six hits.
“Michael threw well until his thumb started to bleed, and then everything went downhill,” Wagner said.
“We brought in Corey Stone for one inning to set up Brady Konopaski, who came in and shut the door, earning the win.”
Brady Konopaski went 3 for 3 at the plate with three runs scored, a walk and a stolen base.
Kevin Herzog was 2 for 3 with two runs scored, an RBI and a walk.
Marcus Konopaski was 2 for 4 with an RBI.
“It was a great team win and a great way for the kids to start spring break,” Wagner said.
The Riders have the rest of the week off and then play at Kingston (1-6, 1-6) in league action this coming Tuesday.
