Saint b-ballers seek league win
Dale Stebbins is hoping that
when opportunity knocks, his
Mt. Hood Community College
baseballers will listen.
The Saints will host Spokane
Falls CC in the three-game
series, another trial of the
NWAACC Eastern Division
The opener will be Friday at 3
p m , followed by a Saturday
noon doubleheader
Spokane Falls brings a 2-1
division record while defending
NWAACC titlist Yakima, which
will host 3-0 Big Bend this
weekend, owns a 1-2 mark Mt.
Hood meanwhile nits 0-3, (5-12
overall) with two losses last
week resulting from the Saints’
inability to cash in on a total of
27 runners left on the bases.
Big Bend hasted the Saints
last weekend in division play,
topping the Hooders 3-0 Friday.
In the Saturday doubleheader,
the BB’s took 6-2 and 4-3 vic
tories while Hood left its cache
of baserunners stranded
“ It was back to the same old
thing,” said Stebbins. “ We
out hit them both games but we
didn't take advantage of our
opportunities ”
In the 6-2 loss, Mt. Hood won
the hit department 7-4 but
pitcher Tim Fitz had control
trouble in the second inning,
allowing a single to mix up with
four walks and a hit batsman
for thiee Big Bend runs.
Dan Woiters drove home both
Saint runs and Steve Gratton
was 2-for-4 but Mt. Hood left 15
men on the basepaths.
Tim Pflaum also threw the
split a doubleheader with
Clark, dropping the 167 opener
in favor of a 2-1 nightcap win.
Clark turned around a 7-4
deficit with six runs in the top of
the seventh. Of the 10 Clark
runs, only one was charged as

Mt. Hood just edged out host
