BELLEVUE, WA - Seattle U baseball picked up a thrilling win over British Columbia, 8-7, Tuesday afternoon at Bannerwood Park. Trailing going into the 8th inning, the Redhawks put up four runs in the inning, including a 2-run home run by Sam Kane, to get the home victory.
The 8th started with a pinch-hit RBI single from Sebastian Lopez to tie the game at five. Jared Stevenson would then hit a sacrifice fly to plate Hunter Komine for the lead, followed by Kane's 8th blast of the season. It was also the 17th career home run for Kane, moving him to 4th all-time in program history.
Reid Madariaga would pitch the final inning, looking for his first save of the season. After a couple of Thunderbirds scored on their own 2-run home run, Madariaga shut the door on the victory.
Brady Liddle, who started the game, went 4.1 IP and allowed just one run and struck out two. Kaden Alberghini (1-0) picked up his first win of the season by going 3.2 IP also allowing just one earned.
The victory moves the Redhawks to 10-18 on the season and improves their home record to 8-4. They will be back in conference play this weekend when they open a 3-game set with Tarleton State starting Friday, April 4.
