Sequim 5, Bremerton 3

BREMERTON — Alex Gillis saved the day once again in Thursday’s Olympic League game.

The Wolves reliever came on in the bottom of the seventh with the bases loaded and two gone, then proceeded to get the last out in two pitches for the Wolves’ third straight win.

He pulled a similar feat just one day earlier, entering another bases loaded jam against Port Angeles (albeit in the fifth inning) and getting a strikeout to preserve a tie game the Wolves eventually won.

Gillis’ save made sure a strong outing from starter Jeremie Oliver did not go to waste. Oliver went 6 2/3 innings with four strikeouts for his third win.

Sequim (7-4 in league, 8-7 overall) hosts Port Townsend on Monday.
