Salem-Keizer: SS Ryan Lormand: 1 for 4, 2B, BB, SO, E

Salem-Keizer: LHP Scott Barnes: 4.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 K--1 E
Salem-Keizer: RHP Edwin Quirarte: 2.0 IP, 1 K

Lormand was one of three Volcanoes to reach base twice.  His 7th double of the season was just his second hit in the fourth game of this series after he had several multi-hit games to conclude the previous series.

Barnes' first pro start, which came after four relief apperances, was a very impressive one.  He faced just two batters more than the minimum, and struck out over half the batters he faced.  So far in his pro career he has a 2.00 K/IP in 11.0 IP.  After his second straight two-inning appearance, Quirarte has peripheral stats of 9 H, 4 BB and 12 K in 14.1 IP.
