PORTLAND, Ore. -- A late surge wasn't enough for the Lewis & Clark Pioneers to pull out a win in game three of their series with the George Fox Bruins on Sunday at Huston Sports Complex. Lisa Kumasaka's double and Paige Salavea's single brought in two runs in the seventh inning before the Pios' rally came up short in a 7-5 defeat.

Kumasaka and Salavea finished with multi-hit games with Kumasaka totaling a team-high two RBI. The doubles were the second of the year for both.

Savannah Dickson (4-6) took the loss in the circle for the Pioneers after allowing four runs on eight hits while matching a career-high four strikeouts. Emily Drevdahl finished the game for the Pioneers.

All but two of the Pioneers starting lineup had a hit with Lewis & Clark totaling nine and George Fox finishing with ten. Three errors hindered Lewis & Clark's efforts. Allison Meyer drove in four runs in a two-homer game. Madison Sorensen improved to 13-1 this season following a nine-hit, five-run outing for George Fox.

Lewis & Clark (5-14, 4-11 NWC) picked up a 2-0 lead after a sacrifice fly by Ariel Trinidad and Kumasaka's first hit in the second inning. Sydney Cross hit a sac fly in the sixth before the Pios scored two in the seventh.
