Luke Yacinich returned to the mound following his 7-inning no-hitter in Yacinich’s last outing and threw seven scoreless innings and allowed only one hit through six innings in a 4-3 Oilers victory over the Anchorage Bucs.
Oilers 4 – Bucs 3
The Oilers carried a 4-0 lead into the ninth inning and reliever Jake Putnam recorded a pair of outs with runners on base to earn the save for the Oilers. Yacinich earned his second-straight win as the Oilers starter.
Offensively, the Oilers opened the scoring in the second inning on a John Hanley home run. In sixth inning, two-run double by Bryce Marsh staked the Oilers to a 3-0 lead. Leading 3-0 into the eighth inning, Andrew Sojka drove in what proved to be the winning run with an RBI single.
