Tri-City Dust Devils News Release
Kyren Paris had four hits, Jordyn Adams scored four runs, and Straton Podaras hit a two-run home run as the Tri-City Dust Devils (20-26) took down the Hillsboro Hops (26-22) by a score of 9-3 Saturday night at Gesa Stadium.
Tri-City, playing as the Columbia River Rooster Tails, took the lead in the 1st inning on a Gabe Matthews sacrifice fly. After Hillsboro tied the game in the 2nd, Paris doubled Adams home in the 3rd to give the Rooster Tails a 2-1 lead they would keep the rest of the night. The win ended a seven-game losing streak.
Paris ended up with a single, double, and triple in his first three at-bats, falling a home run short of the cycle. He added a single in the 8th to close out the night, driving in three runs along the way.
Adams scored all four times he reached base, going 2 for 5 with a triple. Podaras' home run, which pierced the wind to fall over the left field fence, was his fourth homer of 2022 and scored Edwin Yon to give Columbia River a 4-1 lead in the 4th inning. Podaras and Yon both had two hits on the evening, part of 13 Rooster Tail hits.
Ryan Costeiu (2-2) went 5.1 innings for the win, giving up three runs and eight hits along the way. Columbia River got to Ross Carver (1-2) early, handing him the loss.
