4 Wednesday, May 6, 2015 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Outlaws continue winning streak on the diamond two-for-four. Hodges said, “We had key hits in key situations, with runners on base, and our pitchers threw strikes. And, we were able to get out of a couple of sticky situations without the Lions scoring runs.” On Friday, the Outlaws tallied eight hits, and com- mitted no errors in their 4-0 shutout over the Huskies. Sweet Home had six hits in the game and recorded two errors. Morgan posted his eighth win of the season as the Outlaws pitcher. Zach pitched the first four innings, and Luz came in to finish. In the third inning, Olivier hit a double to the right- center gap to score Luz from first, for Sisters’ first run of the contest. The Outlaws added three more runs in the fourth. Ben Larson hit a line-drive to left-center to drive in Odin Thorson. Later in the inning, Alec Gannon hit the ball back to the pitcher, which resulted in the Huskies trying to run down Cody Kreminski between third and home. Kreminski was hit in the back, but was able to score. Olivier hit an RBI single to score Sisters’ final run. Sisters hit the ball well, but left many runners on base, especially in the fourth. After scoring three runs, the Outlaws loaded the bases with no outs, but were unable to bring any runners home. By rongi Yost Correspondent The Outlaws posted two more wins this past week and are now on an eight-game winning streak in confer- ence play. Sisters defeated the Lions 9-2 at Cottage Grove on Tuesday, April 28, and three days later blanked Sweet Home 4-0 at home in Sisters. Sisters started with a big first inning at Cottage Grove. Justin Harrer scored two when he smashed a triple to left-center past the center- fielder, who had no chance to catch it. Ryan Funk hit a single, which scored Harrer, and Zach Morgan followed with an RBI single. The Outlaws added four runs in the fourth to take an 8-0 lead. The big hit of the inning was from Funk, who hit it 345 feet, off the fence for a double that scored two. Sisters tacked on their final run in the fifth. Cottage Grove was only able to score one run in the fifth and one in the seventh. Alex Olivier pitched the first four innings and was the Outlaws’ winning pitcher. Harrer, Jonathan Luz, and Morgan each pitched one inning to close out the game. Funk had a great day at the plate and finished with two doubles, going three-for- four with five RBI. Morgan had two doubles in the game, and was three-for-four with one RBI. Olivier was DROP-IN PUBLIC TREATING SPORTS INJURIES YOGA CLASSES 7 DAYS A WEEK!

Sweet Home posed a big threat to the Outlaws in the seventh inning. The Huskies loaded the bases with one out, and their No. 2 batter hit a hard line drive straight to Gannon. Alec made the catch and quickly threw to first to get the final out on the run- ner, who couldn’t get back to the base in time. “They (Sweet Home) could have tied the game very quick,” said Hodges. “We are very fortunate to get out of this game with a shutout.” Olivier was the Outlaws hitting star and went three- for-four in the game. “Alex has been swinging a hot bat this last month,” said Hodges. “He’s been Mr. Clutch, for sure, and has had key hits at key times.” Sisters is currently 9-1 in conference and 16-2 overall. The Outlaws were to play at Sweet Home on Monday, May 4. Sisters will play at Elmira on Wednesday, May 6, and finish out the week with a home game on Friday against Elmira. 256 entries.
