Northwest League Baseball
The Eugene Emeralds took an early lead, lost it, then reclaimed it in the bottom of the ninth inning to edge the Boise Hawks 5-4 last night at PK Park in Eugene.
Ronnie Richardson was four-for-four with a stolen base and one run scored in the effort, but it was Trae Santos that followed a Hunter Renfroe double in the ninth with a two-out single up the middle that scored Renfroe and ended the game.
The win gave the Emeralds the 2-1 edge in the three game series. They’ll host the Vancouver Canadians for five games beginning this evening.
