LA GRANDE — La
Grande High School right-
handed pitcher Riley Miller
has signed to play base-
ball for the Clark College
Penguins.
The college in Van-
couver, Washington,
announced the signing on
Friday, May 14. The senior
pitcher has been domi-
nant this year, adding to the
Tigers’ impressive regular
season.
“We love his competi-
tiveness,” Clark head coach
Mark Magdaleno said.
“That’s the difference; not
all people have that compet-
itiveness and that sense of
want-to.”
La Grande finished the
regular season with a 12-1
record and now heads into
district playoffs as one of
the top teams in the state of
Oregon.
Clark College competes
in the Northwest Athletic
Conference and boasts 22
players who have gone on
to transfer to NCAA pro-
grams. The Penguins’
2021 season was canceled
due to COVID-19, but they
were a perfect 7-0 before
the 2020 season was
stopped short.
Magdaleno first noticed
Miller while visiting La
Grande for a game against
Eastern Oregon.
“You could just tell he
was a good person and he
fit right in with our guys
when we were taking bat-
ting practice and things like
that,” he said.
Miller recently pitched a
four-inning shutout against
Baker and scored two RBIs
in the same game. He will
compete at the collegiate
level following the con-
clusion of La Grande’s
postseason.
“We’re looking for him
to come in and compete
for a starting spot,” Mag-
daleno said.
