PORT ANGELES, WASH. — Inability to finish plagued the Kamloops NorthPaws in a West Coast League baseball series against the hometown Port Angeles Lefties.

They blew leads in the ninth inning in back-to-back games to turn a potential sweep into a one-win weekend.

Kamloops scored three runs in the top of the ninth and allowed four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning on Friday (July 12) to hold on for an 8-7 victory.

The Lefties tallied three runs in the bottom of the ninth to win 9-8 on Saturday (July 13) and six runs in the bottom of the ninth to steal a 6-5 victory on Sunday (July 14).

The WCL season consists of two halves featuring 27-games apiece.
