SPORTS 10A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2016 Cougs split with Warriors The Daily Astorian PORTLAND — The Port- land Adventist and Warren- ton softball teams split a pair of 7-3 games Thursday in Port- land, in a Lewis & Clark League doubleheader. Portland Adventist won the opener, 7-3, before the Warriors bounced back with a 7-3 win in Game 2. Warrenton pitcher Niqui Blodgett only gave up eight hits in the win, with six strike- outs and two walks. The Warriors had 11 hits off Portland Adventist pitcher Tori Johnson, who had defeated War- renton in Game 1. Landree Miethe led the War- rior attack by going 3-for-3 with three runs scored, while Warren- ton had 11 stolen bases. Miethe highlighted her day with a home run in the sixth inning, and Blodgett added a tri- ple, as nine different players had hits for the Warriors. Tied 1-1 through three innings, Warrenton scored twice in the fourth inning and added three in the fifth. In Game 1, Portland Adven- tist scored four runs in the bot- tom of the first, and finished with nine hits off Blodgett. Miethe was 2-for-3 and scored twice, but Johnson gave up only three other hits, with eight strikeouts and no walks. Johnson struck out 19 batters on the day. She also hit a home run and scored three times in the opener. Gulls close in on league title The Daily Astorian GEARHART — The only team with a slight chance of defeating Seaside in league play fell 21 strokes short Thursday afternoon, as the Gulls defeated Scappoose 341-362 in a Cow- apa League boys golf match at Gearhart Golf Links. Combined, Scappoose and Seaside have won the last 12 league titles, and the Gulls will be the favorites to make it 13 next month. Seaside senior Aaron Rich- ardson was medalist, shooting a 79. Sophomore Jackson Kunde added a career-low 83 for the Gulls, followed by Josef Bar- bic (89) and Berkley Posalski (90). Colby Lupfer shot 105 as the Seaside’s fifth score. Nathan Mapes led the Indians with an 84. “It is nice getting a win in this matchup,” said Seaside coach Jim Poetsch. “Scappoose is a good team. But our kids have been putting in a lot of time to get better and are starting to build some confidence in their games. “The confidence that they can overcome bad shots is a needed ingredient for a success- ful team,” he said. “Aaron did not have his best ball striking game of the year but was able to grind out a 79 and win medal- ist honors for the fourth time in four league matches.” Poetsch added, “Jackson had a career day, but I see him scoring even lower in the near future. He went the whole day without anything worse than a bogey, which is one of the things we’ve talked about needing to do to improve our scores.” The Gulls host the 11-team Seaside Invitational at Astoria Golf & Country Club Monday. Fishermen hold off the Cheesemakers The Daily Astorian TILLAMOOK — Asto- ria held off a late rally by Til- lamook Thursday, and left with a 3-2 win over the Cheesemak- ers in a Cowapa League base- ball contest. Astoria pitcher Tyler Lyngs- tad took a no-hitter into the sev- enth inning, before Tillamook’s Riley Maloney broke up the no-hit bid. The Cheesemakers pulled to within one run and finished with four hits, before the Fishermen were able to close out the win. Carter Wallace recorded the final two outs in relief to pick up the save. Lyngstad allowed three hits with seven strikeouts and three walks, while Astoria had six hits off Tillamook pitcher Erik Reeves (eight strikeouts, five walks), who took the com- plete-game loss. Leadoff batter Kyle Strange had three of Astoria’s six hits, while Ryker Helmersen was 2-for-3. Ole Englund had the lone RBI for the Fishermen, and also scored a run.
