Jacob Anderson pitched five strong innings and Anthony Porcaro and Brady Heid each drove in two runs as the Hanford Falcons shutout University 10-0 on Tuesday in a District 5/8 loser-out game in Richland.

Hanford (18-3) will play Mt. Spokane at 10 a.m. Saturday at Roy Johnson Field in Kennewick in the District 5/8 semifinals.

University finished its season at 5-14.

The Falcons opened the game with three runs in the first and finished with five runs in the fifth — two off a two-run double by Heid — to end the game via the 10-run rule.

Anderson (9-1) scattered five hits and struck out two, while Porcaro went 3-for-3.

“He made them swing the bats,” said Hanford coach Tom DeWitz. “Anthony (Porcaro) has been hot lately. He has swung the bat well the last couple of weeks.”
