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

still expected to field a strong
squad.

Trout season opens April 22

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

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,

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.
