The Tri-City Dust Devils (11-9) and Eugene Emeralds (10-9) split a Sunday doubleheader at Gesa Stadium, each leaving the six-game series with three wins.
Eugene pitchers combined to no-hit Tri-City in game one of the doubleheader, a 3-0 Emeralds win that saw only two Dust Devils reach base. Nick Swiney went the first 5.1 innings, walking one and striking out seven. Cole Waites finished the 6 th inning, and Nicholas Avila (3) closed out the 7 th for the save.

The shoe went on the other foot in game two of the doubleheader, with Tri-City no-hitting Eugene into the 6 th inning in a 3-2 win.
The Dust Devils grabbed a 1 st-inning lead with three straight hits. Jose Guzman led off with a double, and Kyren Paris singled him home for a 1-0 Tri-City lead. Osmy Gregorio singled later in the first to double the Dust Devils' advantage to 2-0.
Gregorio featured again in the 3 rd inning, drawing a walk to get on base. Steven Rivas then stung a double to the left-center field wall, scoring Gregorio from first base to expand the lead to 3-0.
The Emeralds got on the board in the 6 th, after Robinson Piña (3-1) threw five innings of scoreless and hitless ball. Taking advantage of three walks with a couple of hits, Eugene plated two before Emilker Guzman struck out Luis Toribio to end the 6 th inning and preserve the lead.
Guzman (2) worked a scoreless 7 th to nail down the save.
