The Boise Hawks (7-8) got out to a 4-0 lead after three innings but the Tri-City Dust Devils (8-7) answered with seven unanswered runs to get a 7-4 win in the opener of a five game series between the two squads.
The Hawks scored in the first inning for the third straight night. After Tri-City starter Cole Bellinger got two strikeouts to begin the game, the Hawks got a double from Luke Morgan.
Danny Edgeworth came up after Morgan and hit a single to right making it 1-0 Hawks. After two wild pitches allowed Danny Edgeworth to get to third base, Luis Castro drew a walk putting runners on the corners for the Hawks.
Willie Maciver came up and got his first professional RBI with a single to make it 2-0 Hawks.
Boise came back in the third and got Matt Hearn and Cade Harris on base to start the inning. Then, with two outs, Luis Castro smashed a double to centerfield scoring both runners and giving Boise a 4-0 lead.
After Boise starter Frederis Parra retired all nine batters he faced through the first three frames, Tri-City got a big inning. Dwayna Williams-Sutton, with the bases loaded and nobody out, got a single to left getting the first run in for the Dust Devils. An RBI groundout for Luis Asuncion then made it a 4-2 game. Tre Carter followed it up with a base hit to make it just a 4-3 Boise lead.
Kevin Alarcon would double with runners on first and third for Tri-City and that would tie the game in the 4th.
Parra worked through the fifth nicely, but in the sixth, Tri-City got back-to-back triples to start the inning from Tre Carter and Kevin Alarcon to make it 5-4 Dust Devils. Jose Lezama came up and hit a high and deep fly ball into the right centerfield gap that hit off the glove of Cade Harris for a double and it gave the Dust Devils a 6-4 advantage.
With Lezama on second, ReInaldo Llarraza singled to score the third run of the inning for Tri-City making it a 7-4 lead for the San Diego Padres affiliate after six innings.
Gabe Mosser, who picked up the win for Tri-City, went 2.2 innings of shutout baseball after the starter Bellinger came out of the game to get the win as Tri-City hung on in the final three innings. Carter Capps came on for the 9th to get the save for Tri-City.
