Bats lively in 12-5 win

The Eugene Emeralds powered their way back into a tie for first place in the southern division last night using 14 hits for a 12-5 win over the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes.

Alex Bautista led the way, going three-for-four at the plate; Eloy Jimenez hit a two-run homer in the fifth.

Eugene, with a 13-9 record in the second half of the season, is tied with Hillsboro for the lead. There are just over two weeks remaining in the season.

The Emeralds are in Keizer again tonight and tomorrow; They’ll be back at PK Park Sunday for the first game of a five-game series against Spokane.
