Fleet-Footed Pilots Run Away with Game 1 against Highlanders

Box Score

PORTLAND, Ore. --- Senior Eric Sapp collected three hits and three of the Portland Pilots ten stolen bases en route to an 8-5 victory over the UC Riverside Highlanders in the first game of a nonconference doubleheader Saturday at Joe Etzel Field.

Portland (7-3) built an early 3-1 lead with a well-executed small ball approach against UC Riverside (4-6).

After leading off the second with a single, Sapp stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch as freshman Matt Kelly drew a walk to put runners on the corners.
