Pullman Patriots topped Shadle Park twice Tuesday at the Pullman High field to advance their record to 3-3 in the Spokane Senior Legion league.

The Patriots nipped Shadle 5-4 in a seven-inning duel in the first game Tuesday and then hammered the visitors 13-1 in the second game which was shut down after five innings.

Zane Wilson led the hits list with three singles and two RBIs.

In the second game, Pauto Kallaher and Conner Parrish stopped Shadle while the Patriots rapped a total of 13 hits. They started with an eight-run blast in the first innings.

Kallaher allowed Shadle two hits over the first three innings, and Parrish shut them down for the last two frames.

Kallaher had two doubles and two singles to lead the Patriot bats, and Chase Hayton rapped a double and a single.
