PORTLAND, Ore. - Juco transfer Sam Stahl went 3-for-5 to raise his batting average to .563, and rookie right-hander Clay Gartner picked up his first college win as the George Fox University Bruins rallied past the Concordia University-Portland Cavaliers 6-4 in a non-conference baseball game Sunday here at the University of Portland's Joe Etzel Field.

Concordia took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st off Gartner (1-0) when Mike Dickman doubled and scored on Andrew Reid's one-out single.  The Cavaliers made it 4-0 in the 4th on a three-run home run by Tim Reavis, his first of the year, but Gartner pitched three shutout innings after that, giving his teammates time to come back.

The Bruins got going against the Cavs' Griffin Waller (0-1) in the bottom of the 4th, scoring three times after two were out.  Eric Gantenbein singled to left, moved up on a wild pitch, and scored on Nate Hickok's single to center.  After a walk to Josh Burch, Stahl delivered them both with a double to left-center.

Gantenbein tied the game when he drew a bases-loaded walk in the 5th, and after Zac Manor relieved Waller, Hickok was hit by a pitch to force across the go-ahead run.  Stahl scored the Bruins' insurance run in the 8th when he singled to left, moved up on two ground outs, and scored on Brent Trask's pinch-single through the left side.

Gartner left after seven innings, having allowed seven hits and four runs with six strikeouts and no walks, in favor of Chad Jones.  The Bruins' righty closer proceeded to retire all six Cavaliers he faced, fanning three, to pick up his second save of the season and ninth of his career, one away from Nick Hedgecock's all-time record of 10.

George Fox (3-4) next plays its home opener Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., a single game against Corban College, before hosting Menlo College for three games on the weekend.  Concordia (2-5) was to play the University of Portland later Sunday afternoon.
