Tri-City Dust Devils News Release


The Tri-City Dust Devils (2-2) were unable to overcome an early deficit at Gesa Stadium on Monday night as the team fell 7-1 to the Spokane Indians (2-2). Josh Magee tripled in the third inning to drive in the only run of the game for Tri-City.

Defensive struggles early were costly for the Dust Devils. The team committed two errors in the first inning that allowed the Indians to score three runs, which were all unearned. Tri-City starter Jordan Guerrero (0-1) suffered the loss after allowing five runs, but with only two of them earned.

Nate Easley continued his hitting streak to start his professional career. The 23rd round pick extended his hit streak to four games with a single in the seventh inning.

Three pitchers made their professional debuts in the loss. Mark Zimmerman and Evan Miller did not allow a run in relief for the Dust Devils. Joey Lucchesi, who led the nation in strikeouts this spring at Southeast Missouri State, tossed three innings and allowed two runs in his first pro outing.

Braxton Lorenzini will start the middle game of the three-game series with the Indians on Tuesday night. Spokane will counter with left-hander Sal Mendez. It will be Post-game Bread Giveaway Night presented by Bimbo Bakeries. Great seats are available by calling the Dust Devils' front office at (509) 544-8789 or by going to www.dustdevilsbaseball.com to purchase tickets.
