PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles shook off a rough start and rallied for a 7-5 win against Chimacum in a nonleague baseball game at Civic Field.
“We were down 5-2 after two innings but we didn’t panic,” Roughriders coach Vic Reykdal said.
“We had some chances in the middle innings to get going, and finally in that sixth inning we strung some hits together, some big hits.”
Tanner Gochnour drove in the tying run in the sixth and Luke Angevine’s two-run double put Port Angeles in the lead.
“That inning was some good execution all around,” Reykdal said.
The Riders (2-1) also received some strong pitching performances.
“Janson [Pederson] had a tough day, but the rest of the kids pitched great,” Reykdal said.
“Travis [Paynter] was on, he struck out six of eight batters. So he’s definitely [Olympic]-league ready.”
The Riders visit Klahowya today.
Chimacum (0-4) visits Quilcene (2-1) on Tuesday.
