Outlaws baseball team
crushes Mt. View
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The Outlaws baseball team
came out swinging in their
first game of the season and
crushed the Cougars 12-4 at
Mt. View on March 15.
Sisters scored 12 runs off
11 hits, and Mt. View scored
four runs off four hits. The
Outlaws committed two errors
in the contest, and the Cougars
made four.
Zach Morgan got the
Outlaws on the scoreboard in
the second inning with a solo
home run over the left-field
fence. The ball screamed over
the 355-feet sign and sailed
close to 400 feet before it
landed.
“It was a pretty swing,”
said Coach Steve Hodges. “As
soon as the ball left the bat
you knew it wasn’t going to
stay in the park.”
Christopher Luz got on
with a bunt down the third
base line, was able to advance,
and scored on an error to make
it a 2-0 ballgame.
Sisters tacked on a run
in the fourth, and Mt. View
answered with three runs to
tie it up 3-3. The Outlaws got
another in the fifth and one
in the sixth to regain the lead
at 5-3. The sixth inning was
highlighted by a key double
from Jake Larson, who scored
off a single by Alec Gannon.
The Cougars scored their
final run in the sixth. The
Outlaws took the plate in the
bottom of the seventh, ham-
mered the ball, and racked up
seven more runs to nail down
the win.
Jett Mingus’ two-run
homer to left field high-
lighted the seventh inning. JW
Bertagna also hit a beautiful
ball down the left-field line for
an RBI double, and Will Werts
hit a double to score two.
Pitching duties were spread
out between several players.
Morgan pitched the first three
innings, Ryan Cook pitched
the next two, and then Mingus
came in for one-and-two-
thirds innings. Austin Morris
pitched the final out.
Hodges said, “I was very
pleased with our seventh
inning. It was a close game,
and that broke the game wide
open. It was nice to see us exe-
cute, and put the ball in play.
The eight runs we scored in
the final two innings changed
the course of the game.”
The Outlaws were to play
at Madras on Tuesday, March
21. Sisters will play at home
against Crook County on
Thursday, March 23.
