PORTLAND, Ore. — Gonzaga baseball got the bats going to the tune of 20 hits in a 19-3 win at Portland on Friday evening.

"Our guys did a good job of securing a conference series win on the road," head coach Mark Machtolf said. "It was a huge effort offensively 1-9 in the lineup. Michael Spellacy did a nice job of pounding the strike zone and pitching with a lead. We need to turn the page quickly and come out looking for a sweep tomorrow."

The win clinches the series with Portland (20-16, 2-12) and will put GU (16-14, 9-5) on the field on Sunday with a chance at a sweep. Alongside the offensive outburst, GU starter Michael Spellacy went 6.0 innings, allowing just one run on three hits with four strikeouts.

The top of the Gonzaga order did the most damage, collecting 13 hits in the first five spots in the lineup. Guthrie Morrison, Troy Johnston and Austin Pinorini each had three hits, while Ernie Yake had four RBI and Nick Nyquist and Daniel Fredrickson had three RBI each. GU had nine extra-base hits in the game and reached base another nine times via walks or hit-by pitches.

Gonzaga broke the game open in the second with five runs, then added five more in the fourth inning to take a commanding lead. Already up 1-0, GU got a two-run homer from Nick Nyquist followed by back-to-back RBI singles from Yake and Pinorini.

Then in the fourth, Johnston had an RBI double and Yake added another RBI single sandwiched around a bases-loaded walk and fielder's choice that each scored runs.

GU added a single run in the fifth on an RBI double from Daniel Fredrickson, and then added another on an RBI double in the sixth by Jace Vandebrake.

Ryan Sullivan added a three-run homer to cap the scoring on the day. It was his team-leading seventh of the season.

Gonzaga and Portland will wrap the series on Sunday at 1 p.m. Links to live coverage will be available at GoZags.com.
