Kitsap: Drew Luther (Fullerton College) had a breakout game for the Cowlitz Black Bears Thursday night, getting three hits and three RBI in the team's 8-7 win over the Kitsap Blue Jackets.
After falling behind 3-0, the Black Bears took a one-run lead in the second inning on a two-run single by Luther and a two-run double by Austin Diemer (Cal State Fullerton). Luther and Brian Carroll (UCLA) had RBI singles and Kyle Kuck (Santa Ana) brought in a run on a hit by pitch to make it 7-3.
