Baseball team racked up wins in AZ
By Rongi Yost

The Outlaws baseball
team took their annual
spring-break trek to sunny
Arizona, and won all four
of their games. The Outlaws
needed to be back in town
the week of April 2-8 for the
start of league play, and were
unable to compete in the
Chandler Prep Tournament,
which didn’t begin until
Saturday, April 1, so instead
scheduled games with other
teams who were in the
area.
Sisters beat Santiam
Christian (SC) in both
games of a double-header on
Tuesday, March 28, the first
a 12-7 victory and the second
a 7-3 win.
In the first game, Sisters
scored 12 runs on 13 hits
and six errors and SC scored
seven runs on six hits and
three errors.
Zach Morgan went three-
for-four with three RBI,
including a double and a
triple. Ryan Cook went two-
for-four, and Austin Morss
went two-for-three.
Jett Mingus threw for
three innings and was the
winning pitcher of record.
He kept the ball in the strike
zone and made the Eagles hit
the ball.
The second game was
much closer. Alec Gannon,
Morss, and Morgan all saw
time on the mound. Morgan
had good command of his
fastball, threw six strike-
outs, and was the winning
pitcher.
Gannon went two-for-
three and Morgan hit a two-
run dinger straight away
center to highlight the fifth
inning.
Two days later, Sisters
defeated Air Academy (AA)
out of Colorado Springs in a
final score of 12-3.
The Outlaws were down
3-1 as teams entered the
fifth inning, and Sisters
responded with seven runs
to take an 8-3 lead. A key
moment came with the
bases loaded. Ryan Funk
took the plate and hit a three
RBI double to right center
field. JW Bertagna followed
with an RBI single to score
Funk.
Sisters got to first base via
several walks in the sixth,
and tallied four more runs to
seal the win.
Morgan pitched the fourth
and fifth innings and closed
the door on AA. Zach had two
strikeouts in the fourth and
struck out the side, one-two-
three, in the fifth, as he over-
powered the Colorado team
with his fastball. Stutzman
came in and pitched the final
inning.
Horizon Christian can-
celed their game against the
Outlaws, so Sisters finished
their time in Arizona with
a 16-3 win over Santiam
Christian.
Sisters pummelled the ball
for back-to-back home runs
in the second inning. Morgan
slammed a ball to right field
and Funk followed with a
shot to left field. Bertagna
hit a double, and Mingus,
Jake Larson, and Christopher

The boys lacrosse team
lost 16-4 at home to Churchill
on Friday, April 7. Turnovers
continued to be an issue with
the young squad and were
definitely a factor in the loss.
Ethan Morgan scored a
hat trick for the Outlaws,
and Daytona Haken scored
Sisters’ other goal. Trey
Stadeli led the team with
seven ground balls, and Gabe
Patton led the squad with
seven face-offs.
Churchill took advantage
of the transition game and
scored six quick goals at the
start of the contest, and Nick
Clendenen and Jaden Fields
finished with five goals each.
Sisters was to play at Mt.
View on Tuesday, April 11.
The Outlaws will play at
home against Hermiston on
Saturday, April 15.

Luz all had singles in the
inning. At the close of the
second, Sisters held a 7-0
lead.
The Outlaws drew lots of
walks in both the third and
fourth innings, in addition to
singles from Mingus, Funk,
and Cook, and tacked on
eight more runs. In the fifth,
a single from Morgan drove
in Cook for the Outlaw’ final
run of the contest.
Morss threw two innings
and earned the win. Taylor
School and Bertagna also
helped with the pitching
duties.
Sisters had three batters
with multiple hits: Morgan,
who went two-for-three with
three RBI; Funk was two-
for-three with two RBI; and
Mingus went two-for-three.
Coach Steve Hodges said,
“The trip started off a little
rocky for us on defense in
those first two games, but the
last two we did much better.
The pitchers got some good
work in. They did a good
job throwing strikes, which
gave us a good opportunity
to win. All in all, we got to
practice in nice weather,
got a lot accomplished,
and felt it prepared us for
league.”
