PASCO, Wash. – The Puget Sound baseball team breezed past Lewis & Clark behind another shutout from the duo of Matt Robinson and Jarrod Beiser. The Loggers (4-2) took the game 14-0, highlighted by a six-run eighth inning.

Robinson went seven innings and allowed just four hits in the game while striking out five. The senior has now tossed 14 straight shutout innings to open the season after tossing seven scoreless frames in the Loggers' season-opener at St. Martin's. Beiser did not allow a hit in the final two innings and struck out a pair.

Freshman Nathan Backes led the Loggers at the plate with a 3-for-4 performance. All three of his singles drove in at least one run as he had a game-leading five RBI. He knocked in both Logger runs in the third with a singles up the middle, drove in two more in the seventh with a single in to left and brought home another in the eighth with another single.

The Loggers gained the lead in the bottom of the first when Kaulana Smith scored on a balk. Backes' single put up two more runs in the third for the Loggers. By the sixth inning, the Loggers were up 5-0.

Backes drove in two more in the seventh after a Christian Carter hit brought in a run. The Logger bats then exploded in the eighth for six runs. Backes, Nick Cochran and Ben Jones all had RBI hits while two more runs came across on Pioneer errors.

The Pioneers fell to 0-5 with the loss and had four errors in the game, coming from four different players. Ryan Strombom took the loss on the mound.

Game 2 vs. Corban – L, 0-16

Corban once again jumped on top early and cruised to the 16-0 win in the second game between the two in the last two days.

The Warriors were up 8-0 after three innings and never allowed the Loggers to get going offensively. The Loggers had six hits in the game, including extra bases from Kaulana Smith and Lucas Stone but couldn't push a runner past second base.

Corban had a pair of four-run innings in the game in the first and seventh to fuel the win.

The Loggers sent seven pitchers to the mound in the contest.
