a lot of diff erent infi elds
and a lot of diff erent out-
fi elds, but people have
really stepped up.”
For Bowen, building team
chemistry has been a point
of emphasis for the whole
roster. She noted that with
just 15 players on the team,
off -the-fi eld bonding has
translated to success on the
fi eld.
“We’re really just
working together and talking
to each other out there,”
Bowen said. “We’re doing a
lot of team bonding. Being
close helps a lot, especially
in trusting each other on the
fi eld.”
Bowen, an Oregon State
commit, leads the team with
eight home runs and has
totaled 34 RBIs and 23 runs.
She has hit .449 on the year
and been the team’s staple in
the outfi eld.

Krantz did not have an
ideal senior season, suff ering
a year-ending injury in the
fi rst game of the season,
but the senior has made the
best of her role. As a utility
player, the senior aims to
observe small improvements
from the sidelines and help
the team in any way she can.
“It’s mentally a little
upsetting, but I like being
here and cheering on the
girls because I think that’s
the best thing possible,”
Krantz said. “I’m going to
continue to support them,
because I know they’d do the
exact same.”
Krantz also noted that
the team has stayed close
through highs and lows this
year, even learning from
mistakes — she stated that a
loss to Ontario on April 29
was a large motivator.
“We recognize how bad
we felt as a team, recon-
nected and worked on it
going forward,” Krantz said.

toward the postseason, each
athlete shares a common
goal for the team: a state title
push. The fi rst step will be
a run at the Greater Oregon
League title, to which
Ontario and La Grande have
been neck and neck.
“I think we have high
hopes,” Neer said of the
upcoming postseason.
“Everyone has learned on the
fl y this year and been really
fl exible and coachable.”
“I’m hoping we can
play our best and see how
it goes,” Bowen said. “You
never know how other teams
will come out and how we’ll
do, but I think we’ll do pretty
good.”
La Grande’s senior day
doubleheader against Baker/
Powder Valley is sched-
uled for 2 p.m. on May
13, with the action taking
place at Pioneer Park. The
Tigers’ regular season offi -
cially ends on May 20, with
a road matchup at Pendleton/
Griswold.
