PORTLAND, Ore. – Concordia University-Portland's ace left-hander Jon Yearout and two relievers combined to hold George Fox University to one hit while their offense collected 14 hits off five Bruin hurlers, giving the Cavaliers a runaway 13-0 victory in the Cascade/Northwest Conference Baseball Challenge Saturday evening here at Porter Park.

Yearout went seven innings, holding the Bruins hitless until Zach Hegelmeyer lined a clean single to left with one out in the seventh.  He struck out 10, walked two, and hit four.  Blake Evetts worked a 1-2-3 eighth and Christian Bannister fanned two and walked one in the ninth to close it.

Concordia broke on top in the third inning against George Fox righty Tom Zarosinski (1-2) as Blake Drake and Cole Shidaki hit back-to-back doubles.  In the fourth, two walks and a throwing error on a sacrifice bunt scored Ryne Briley, and Jordan Keeker singled in two more.  Jared Young and Briley hit back-to-back doubles and Jimmy Sanchez singled in Briley in the sixth.

The Cavaliers turned the game into a blowout with seven runs in the eighth off a pair of Bruin relievers.  Shidaki, Young, and C.J. Watson hit RBI singles, Brannon Mossholder lined a two-run single, Sanchez tripled in a run, and Drake singled in the final run of the frame.

Zarosinski went five innings, allowing seven hits and six runs, three earned, while striking out nine and walking four.  Spencer Eager and Michael Hirko worked one scoreless inning each before Kyle Kirwan and Kyle Albertson finished up.

Drake had three hits to pace the Concordia attack, while Shidaki, Young, and Sanchez had two safeties apiece.
