KITSAP, Wash. — Austin Hamilton belted a pair of two-run home runs to propel Kitsap past Bend 5-2 in West Coast League action.

Zach Close led off the game with a round-tripper, but Hamilton smacked a two-run homer in the bottom of the second inning and added another in the third to help the BlueJackets (6-3) deal the Elks (3-8) their seventh loss in the past eight games.

Antonio Roque and Johnathan Brooks were each 2 for 3 for Bend, and Grant Newton logged an RBI double in the seventh to bring in Close, who accounted for both Elks’ runs. Bend continues its three-game set against Kitsap tonight at 6:35.
