Pioneer softball team blasts Newberg, 16-3 “ The team jelled,” Coach Gary Curtis said about the Pioneers after they downed Newberg 16-3. They turned things completely around on Friday, following a 16-3 loss the Wednesday before to Gresham. “ Basically, we just lost our mental composure in the fourth inning,” Curtis said about that game. A sporting version of Murphy's Law may have been in effect. They fell apart with the athletic director in attendance But on Friday, in cold and rainy weather, the girls finished Newberg off in four and-a half innings (the game was called because of the 16run rule). Junior Allison Carpenter, playing catcher, threw two people out at se cond and caught two pop flys. Junior Anne Sarich, playing only her second game at shortstop, “ knocked a hot one down” and got the out at first She’s quick, and is improving rapidly, Curtis said. “ There aren’t many balls going to get by her,” he said Senior Patty Grey had a ball rifled at her on the mound, but just raised and Recreation State Farm wins ‘B’ division title Canby edges Sandy in golf dual, 180-175 Richard Kennedy, SUHS golf coach, was cautiously optim istic Tuesday afternoon An influx of new talent and im prov ed returning players made him think they might be able to play with some of the teams that draw country club talent. “ Last ye a r our re co rd was unblem ished—we d id n 't w in a match,” he said in describing the program But this year, with a good turnout, he’d hoped they might even be com petitive with league-favorite Oregon City.

Rossos said. A ll the way through the players were evenly matched, she said. San dy’s players were just more com petitive. Seniors Becky Rodrigues and Pat sy Wesselink were cited as examples. Both have played singles only a few times, but Rossos decided to put her best players in singles at the dual at Barlow. Rodrigues, the number one singles player, downed Lisa Hatfield 6-2, 7-5. Wesselink, the number two doubles player, won 7-6, 16 and 6 4 over Toni in g ’’ Senior Alice Schoppert, playing number three singles, lost 6-1, 6-2 to Sara Thompson She has the talent to do well, Rossos said. “ She’s learning to use those skills under the pressure of competition ” The number one doubles team, senior Denise Shokey and junior Elizabeth Heckel, lost 6-2, 6-4.
