Eugene Emeralds News Release


EUGENE, OR - Earlier this morning Yunior Marte was named Pitcher of the week in the Northwest League. Marte spun a gem against the Hops last Saturday, pitching the final 5 innings of a 5-2 win for the Emeralds. Marte allowed just 1-hit in his outing out of the bullpen, while issuing only 2 walks and striking out 6 Hillsboro batters.

Not only was Marte's performance impressive from a box score perspective, but he was able to keep the Hops at bay offensively and allowed the Ems bats to complete the comeback. Eugene was no-hit all the way through the 8th inning, but they were able to break up the no-hitter before Ty Hanchey tied up the game with a home run and Dakota Jordan put Eugene in front with a 9th inning leadoff blast.

Marte has now gotten off to a fantastic start in his Emeralds career. He's appeared in 4 games so far this season with a perfect 3-0 record and a 1.89 ERA. He's made 2 starts, and also appeared out of the bullpen twice. He's pitched a total of 19 innings while striking out 17 batters and allowing just 8 walks.
