In the final game of a five-game road series, the Eugene Emeralds fell to the Tri-City Dust devils by a final score of 1-0.

The lone run of the game came in the bottom of the first. With one out and a runner on on third, Emeralds starting pitcher sent a wild pitch past catcher Miguel Del Castillo. Tri-City center fielder Marcos Derkes took advantage of the past ball and scored to give the Dust Devils an 1-0 early lead.

Despite the loss, the Emeralds got a solid outing from Kelly. Over five innings pitched, Kelly gave up only one hit, had two walks and struck out four Dust Devils.

Tri-City starting pitcher Blake Shouse matched Kelly stride-for-stride. Shouse allowed just four Eugene hitters to reach base all evening.

After losing the series in Tri-City, the Emeralds will return to Eugene for an eight-game homestand. Eugene will start that  home stretch with a game against the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes.

First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m.
