BASEBALL

Tumwater 13, Aberdeen 5

Aberdeen dropped its third-straight league game with a 13-5 loss to Tumwater on Wednesday in Aberdeen.

Aberdeen faced deficits in each of the first two innings, but responded in both frames.

The Bobcats (3-4 overall, 2-4 2A Evergreen) rallied from down 2-0 in the bottom of the first inning on a run-scoring double from Eli Brown and an RBI single from Kenny Dawson.

Aberdeen trailed 3-2 in the second but tied the game on on Brown’s second RBI double of the game and took a 4-3 lead when Kaiden Schubert scored on a wild pitch later in the inning.

But Tumwater regained the lead with a pair of runs in the top of the third inning and never let up, scoring a pair of runs in the fourth and sixth innings sandwiched around a four-run fifth inning.

Brown (2-4, 2 2B, 2RBI), Tobie Heggie (2-3, R), Hunter Eisele (2-4, 3B) and Luca Pisani (2-4, RBI) had two hits apiece for Aberdeen.

Eisele took the loss for Aberdeen, giving up five earned runs on six hits with two strikeouts and three walks in three innings pitched.

Of Tumwater’s 13 runs, six were unearned as the Bobcats defense committed four errors in the game.
