VICTORIA, B.C. – It’s a cruel summer’s night for the Port Angeles Lefties as the Victoria HarbourCats hit double digits, winning 11-3.
The HarbourCats bats came alive for the second Taylor Swift night of the week, starting off with a bang in the first inning.
A Jake Haggard (ULM) RBI single was followed up by a two-run Sky Collins (Fresno State) single, giving the Cats a 3-1 lead. After an error gifted the HarbourCats a fourth run, Lucas Ramirez (Tennessee) recorded his first RBI of the season with a two-out single to cap off the five-run frame.

Victoria native Owen Luchies (Long Island University) made his third appearance and first start of the season. He pitched three innings giving up one earned run on three hits, while striking out four.
Dom Corgiat (Tarleton State) pitched a scoreless fourth inning in his first appearance since June 18.
Spencer Hatch (Tarleton State) recorded his second win of the season in what was his most impressive outing in a HarbourCats uniform. Hatch pitched two scoreless innings giving up zero hits while striking out two.
Ny’Zaiah Thompson (Cal State Fullerton) extended the lead to 8-2 with a two-run single in the fifth inning for his team-leading 13th and 14th RBI’s of the season.

The game was put beyond doubt in the seventh inning when Garrett Teunissen (Cal State San Marcos) made it 11-3 with a two-run stand-up triple. It was his fifth triple of the season which leads the West Coast League.
Holden Hess (ULM) pitched the seventh inning giving up one run. After going one for three at the plate in last night’s exhibition game, Garrett Villa (Angelo State) pitched two scoreless innings to close out the series opener, striking out two.
