Dust Devils Weekend Highlights
- Friday: The series opened with electric energy as Juan Flores powered the Devils to a 5-4 walk-off victory. After trailing 4-0 early, Tri-City mounted a comeback highlighted by two home runs from Flores, including the game-winning blast on the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth. The victory was secured by lefty reliever Dylan Phillips, who earned the win in a crucial high-leverage spot.

Saturday: The heroics reached a fever pitch when SS Capri Ortiz launched a two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to overcome a 2-1 deficit. The win marked the second consecutive night of walk-off drama, fueled by a stellar five-inning start from Peyton Olejnik.

Sunday: Despite the momentum from their previous wins, the Devils’ bats were held in check by the Emeralds in the series finale. David Mershon provided the team’s lone RBI in the third inning, but a two-run triple by Eugene in the eighth ultimately decided the 4-1 outcome.
