The Dawgs travelled to Albany, OR on Friday to take on Coach Andy Peterson’s (Dawgs WCBL Coach) Linn-Benton Community College Roadrunners in a double header. The Roadrunners would win both games by a score of 15-6 in 8 innings in game one and 2-0 in a shortened 4.5 innings in game two due to visibility issues caused by the setting sun.

Mahoney pitched a combined total of 3.2 innings between closing out game one and starting game two, allowing 3 earned runs on 4 hits while striking out 1 with 1 walk. Patriks Ludviks pitched 1 inning in relief allowing 0 runs, 0 hits and 2 strikeouts. Caden Fischer pitched 2 innings allowing 1 run on 2 hits with 1 strikeout.

Offensively, Tye Carrier went 1 for 2 with a single and 2 runs scored. Tyler Hummel 2 for 4 with a single and a triple while scoring one run. Avery Deisroth was 1 for 1 with a walk and 1 RBI. Eric Machej (’24 Illinois State commit) went 1 for 4 with an RBI single. Quincy Jenkins (’26 uncommitted) was 0 for 2 with 2 RBI and played solid at shortstop. Turner Zdunich (’24 uncommitted) was 0 for 1 with a 3U FC RBI. Tim Piasentin (’25 University of Miami commit) was unlucky with 3 barrels but collected a sac fly RBI to deep right centre field.
