PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland's Hunter Montgomery crushed his second home run of the year, Tate Budnick had another stellar performance out of the bullpen, and the Pilots completed the season sweep of the Oregon Ducks with a 2-1 win on a picture-perfect Wednesday night at Joe Etzel Field. The Pilots also defeated the Ducks earlier this season in Eugene.
Budnick, who earned his second save of the spring, was masterful in 5.0 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits. He struck out five and didn't walk a batter, and he extended his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 14.2 innings.
