Hoquiam 1, Ilwaco 0
Hoquiam pitcher Joey Bozich had one of his most impressive performances of the season in a 1-0 victory over Ilwaco on Thursday at Olympic Stadium in Hoquiam.
Bozich scattered four hits without allowing a walk and struck out eight in leading the Grizzlies (4-14) to the shutout victory with an stellar outing on the mound.
“Joey was incredible on the mound with great control, working ahead of a solid hitting team from Ilwaco,” Hoquiam head coach Steve Jump said. “Their pitchers matched in a classic pitchers’ duel until the bottom of the seventh.”
With Ilwaco pitchers in starter Dylan Pelas and reliever Corbin Johnson matching Bozich in putting up zeros on the scoreboard, it wasn’t until the bottom of the seventh that a team broke through with a run.
With one out in the frame, Bozich singled and remained at first after Ethan Byron bunted out to Johnson.
Grizzlies first baseman Tristan Bland stepped to the plate and drove Johnson’s 2-2 pitch to the left-field fence. Bozich raced all the way around from first to score the winning run and secure a thrilling walk-off victory.
Aside from Bozich and Bland, and Aden Hart had a single with two outs in the bottom of the third as the Grizzlies offense consisted of three hits and one hit batter in the game.
Jump honored his seniors and coaches on Senior Night.
”I want to thank our two seniors, Cody Baller and Tristin Bland, as well as their families and Grizzly coaches Zac Reynvaan, Tracy Pelan and Jimmy Troseth,” he said.
