Dust Devils top Volcanoes 9-4 in Saturday game
Will Stillman threw three innings of dominant ball, Luis Asuncion had three hits and scored a pair of runs, and the Tri-City Dust Devils took advantage of six walks and an error from Salem-Keizer to post a 9-4 win over the host Volcanoes in Northwest League baseball Saturday.
Stillman struck out six and gave up just one hit and two walks in his abbreviated start. Travis Radke, Jose Galindo and Chasen Ford delivered three-plus innings of lights-out relief, though Ben Sheckler was touched up for seven hits and two earned runs in his two-plus innings.
The Dust Devils (2-1), who continued their five-game season-opening set at S-K (1-2) on Sunday, got production from up and down the lineup, with all but one batter getting a hit. Catcher Steve Bean knocked in a pair of runs.
