Lefties top Dudes

PORT ANGELES — No. 9 hitter Alex Garcia went deep, leading off the bottom of the eighth inning with a solo home run as Port Angeles earned a 5-2 nonleague win over the Redmond Dudes at Civic Field on Wednesday.

Garcia’s homer broke a 2-2 tie and was the start of a three-run inning for the Lefties.

An Ethan Groff RBI double later plated Jeff Jamison and Connor Denning drove in Groff with an RBI single to give Port Angeles some breathing room in the ninth inning.

Jonny Chavez walked a runner and allowed a hit to bring the tying run to the plate with one out in the final frame, but he stranded those runners and earned the save.

Port Angeles wraps the nonleague series with the Dudes tonight at 6:35 p.m. at Civic Field.
