Drew Rundle hit his seventh home run of the season and Marwin Gonzalez knocked in four runs as the Boise Hawks pounded out 13 hits in a 11-5 victory over the Yakima Bears before 1,614 fans at County Stadium.

With the win, coupled with a Spokane loss, moved Boise within five game of the first-place Indians with just ten games remaining in the regular season.

After spotting the Bears a 1-0 lead in the first, the Hawks bats came alive. An RBI double by Sean Hoorelbeke, an RBI single by Michael Brenly, and a two-run Gonzalez double in a four-run second inning gave Boise the lead for good.

Rundle hit his blast in the fourth to extend the margin to 7-1, while Boise added three more runs in the sixth and a single run in the eighth.

Kyler Burke went 3-for-3 with three runs scored in the victory, as the Hawks improved to 5-3 this season against Yakima.

Chris Carpenter got the win in relief, tossing four innings - allowing just one hit and allowing a pair of unearned runs. Andrew Cashner allowed just one run on five hits in his four innings of work - striking out five.

The rubber game of not only the series, but of the 11-game road trip is Monday night, with Jeff Beliveau meeting knuckleballer Houston Summers at 8:05 p.m. (PDT).
