Hafer said the team spent the early
part of the week preparing for the slower
pitching.
“We’ve been working on contact points,
adjustments and (pitch) speed,” she said.
“It’s just muscle memory. You just focus
on getting on base and hitting the ball.”
Bowen turned in a perfect 3-for-3 day
at the plate, and Carson, Gooderham and
Grace Neer each had two hits.
“It helps us to keep our momentum up,”
Hafer said of the team’s potency from top
to bottom. “We know everybody can hit.”

Nowak had the most
success at the plate against
Williams, who was also
Glide’s starting pitcher,
going 3-for-4 on the day.

eventually came around to
score on a wild pitch.
“We had an opportunity
to intentionally walk a guy
in the seventh (and) their
kid comes up with a clutch
hit. That’s the game, that’s
the way it goes, (but) it
doesn’t make it any eas-
ier,” McKinley said. He
later added that he felt the
intentional walk “statisti-
cally was the right thing
to do. The Thorpe kid and
then the next two after
him were guys we wanted
to try to attack.”
La Grande, which it-
self had only three hits
against Smith, the Hus-
kies’ ace, opened the bot-

fastball we should have

said.
The loss ends the Tigers’
season with an overall re-
cord of 15-9. La Grande,
though, loses just three se-

“We just didn’t get it
