Salem-Keizer then took over with scoring. With runners at first and third, Ricardo Genoves belted his sixth double of the season that scored Hunter Bishop and tied up the game 1-1 in the bottom of the sixth. Genoves currently is second in the Northwest League in RBIs with 29.

Volcanoes leadoff hitter Tyler Fitzgerald lined a ball into right field that scored Simon Whiteman in the bottom of the seventh, giving Salem-Keizer the go-ahead run. Boise has yet to win a ballgame at Volcanoes stadium this year.

The two will face off in game three of the series Friday night at 6:35 PDT with Jeffri Ocando projected to start.
