Thur».. Apr 12, 1978 (Sec 1) SANDY (Ore ) POST - 9 Bases loaded twice— but no runs scored Some days you can't even buy a run Then Mike M artin and Rick Martin got on w ith bunts, fillin g the bases It was virtually the same story in the next inning as Rick F ry singled and Royal Proctor and B ill Rodden bunted on. Colt struck out, then the two Martins each grounded out to again leave three runners stranded. In the meantime, the Indians were collecting their five runs on seven hits off starter Randy Skogan and reliever Jay Colt. Skogan left in the th ird inning with a sore arm, trailing 2-1. Three Pioneers got two hits apiece . Rick M artin with a double and a single, Ted Copher with a triple and a single and Royal Proctor with two singles. The Molalla game was Proctor’s first appearance back at the catcher s spot since he crushed three fingers in his left hand three weeks ago. Friday, Sandy w ill host Estacada, who lost a close 4-3 game to league favorite Canby on Tuesday. The game is set to begin at 4:00 p.m Pity coach Glen Smith. His Sandy Pioneer baseball team had the bases loaded twice with no outs in both the fifth and sixth innings of their game against Molalla Tuesday. And both times they failed to score a run. I ’ll repeat that: Bases loaded twice w ith no outs, but no runs were scored As a result, Molalla came away with a 5-1 win that could easily have been 7-5. The Pioneer’s fatal inability to cash in on golden opportunities has left Smith mystified “ We’ve been working on things we always do to improve our hitting, he said, shaking his head. " I don’t know wha t to do about our clutch hitting.' ’ O v e ra ll, the Pioneers had a respectable day at the plate, collecting nine hits, but after a third inning triple by Ted Copher drove in Rick M artin no hits came with runners in scoring position. In the fifth inning Mark Peasley got on base when he was hit by a pitch and Jay Colt was sent in to pinch-run. SANDY CATCHER Royal Proctor fires a throw to second as he attempts to catch a Molalla Indian stealing second. The Molalla hitter watches his Tim Freeman takes silver medal in A AU wrestling teammate's progress. Proctor got two hits as Sandy lost to the Indians. 5-1. Sandy High sophomore restler Tim Freeman has picked up a slew of awards this spring in Oregon Junior Development Freestyle Wrestling, culminating in a silver medal at the AAU Junior Olympic meet at Jackson High School in Portland April 8. The second place finish qualified him for the Junior Olympic Nationals in Salt Lake City this June Freeman, wrestling in the 160.5 pound bracket, picked up a first place district finish and a second place state spot in Junior Development wrestling during March. • ,. He then placed first in the AAU district tourney A pril 1 at Clackamas High, then went on to his second place effort in the state tournament last Saturday. Aside from that there wasn’t much to cheer about. F irst singles player Ken Roberts was shut out by Mike Miler, 0-6, 0-6 and second sirgles Damien Bollerman fared little better as he lost to Wes Williams, 3-6, 2-6. F irst doubles Lee Funke and B.J. Spraiggel lost 0-6, 0- 6 and second doules Steve Frost and Jim Pierson were defeated 2-6,2-6. Coach Proett was critical of her team’s performance in Sandy High’s boys tennis team got their firs t points in history Tuesday as the first year team managed to win one match against Estacada in a 4-1 loss. Doubles Dan Brown and Dave Bonner beat Mike McKay and Nick Diede 6-1,6- 3 for the win Netters fall to Estacada “ Now we’ve gotten one win, and we’ll start building from there,’’ commented Sandy coach Cheryl Proett. - All-stars play Thursday ! the wake of the lopsided losses “ There was a total lack of consistency and movement, she said. "T h eir heads just weren't in it.” Sandy w ill have a chance to get their heads back into it Thursday when they visit Forest Grove The Vikings lost most of their team to graduation last year but are still expected to field a strong squad. The match begins at 4 p.m. COUPON GIFT SHOP Hook ’n' Sinker Trout season opens April 22 jy Dennis Luse Salmon fishing hasn't nproved over last week and hould remain the same this ,eek A few have been taken round the Oregon City falls irea but the run has failed to nake a spectacular ap- learance. Steelheading rem ains ¡low, although a few bright ish have been appearing hroughout the Sandy. The Vlolalla and Clackamas have seen slow. With the opening of trout season ju s t around the corner you should carefully check the 1978 Fish and Wildlife regulations as to the opening date of the water you w ill be fishing There have been a few changes in the opening dates on local waters that have been otherwise open April 22 The Sandy and all tributaries are closed to trout angling until May 19. The trib u ta rie s of the Sandy include the Salmon and Zig Zag rivers. Still Creek, Clear Creek, Camp Creek and Bear Creek. I understand the fine is $55 for fishing closed waters. Game wardens may confiscate your gear also. oooo Whatever water you w ill be fishing on opening day don't forget baits such as salmon eggs and worms. When fished correctly they should put some scrappy rainbow trout in your creel. The'»lost popular way to fish with salmon eggs is to attach a No. 10 or No. 12 egg hook to a four pound test leader about 18 inches long. Tie leader to main line and place a weight no closer than 18 inches to the hook. The weight should be a split shot of sufficient weight to take the rig close to the bottom. The depth and current speed w ill determine what size to use. Put an egg on the hook in such a manner that the barb is hidden inside the egg Cast the offering upstream of the place you intend to d rift and let the rig bounce along the bottom . Many fisherm en prefer to use a No. 10 snelled hook and put two or three eggs on as an added in centive to the fish. The most popular colors of eggs are red, yellow, or orange A purple egg put out by Pautzke’s called Balls *o Fire is productive. Where the w ater is shallow, about one to two feet depth, a small bobber Trout are one of the most food-craving scavangers and viciously attack most bait offe’’,ngs They lay next to rod and other submerged obs cles w a itin g for an inse ; or other likely looking mor el to venture by, then w ill a rt out of their place of hidii g. grab the food, and retui n to their resting place T h ; object in bait fishing, especially in a stream, is to present the offering in such a way to fool the trout into thinking of it as a piece of food d riftin g n a tu ra lly among the rocks pebbles Casting across the stream and reeling it in without drifting to the bottom w ill not fill up a creel as fast as the bait drifting naturally The fish may strike the fast moving bait on top of the water thinking it to be some large insect moving on the water, >"* r »aqnl nniurwji replaces the weight and the rig is cast directly upstream allowing the bobber to d rift the eggs around and behind rocks. This procedure can be very productive since the rig seldom gets hung up on the bottom. Another advantage is the rig can be allowed to d rift downstream freely where the fish haven’t noticed your presence. An effective substitute for the popular salmon egg is the good ol’ worm. A night crawler or small wriggling worm such as the red worm is synonomous with fishing. The night crawler can be fished many.ways. He can be sectioned off into %” lengths and threaded on a number eight or 10 hook like a piece of macaroni. In fishing for larger fish he can be used whole. The small red worm can be used by inserting the hook in different locations along his length and let a portion trail freely The procedure for fishing the worm is like that of any bait. D rift it freely among the rocks and on the bottom allowing it to wiggle in hopes of attracting a fish. O ther baits such as grasshoppers, crickets, and salmon flies are good live baits fished the same way but the scarcity of these baits lim its their use. They are more productive in the summer months when the natural hatches are present. The baits can be fished the same way in lakes by trolling them along with a spinner or flashing lures. The bait is usually trolled behind the flasher about 12 inches. The trout w ill be attracted by the flasher, w ill see the bait and take it. Bait fishing is the oldest and most productive means of catching fish. Experiment with your own ideas, like my wife skunking me with an egg and worm combination. Embarrassing.
