IPs up and over the 12-ioot mark for Chris Crabtree. He took first in the pole vault Thursday. The boys now have a
5-1 dual record. The girls remain undefeated at 6-0.
Girls seek state playoff berth
Good defense, good pitching and a
little luck Put ’em all together and
you’ve got a 7-4 season and a shot at
the league's second state playoff
spot
The Pioneers played Sweet Home
Wednesday at Canby in the first
game of that series A win Friday
over Silverton assured them of a
neutral site, or, in other words, saved
them from that long bus ride to Sweet
Home.
Patty Gray struck out five, walked
eight and allowed three earned runs
during that 11-6 win.
Coach Gary C urtis’ ‘‘young, good-
looking, intelligent" catcher, Allison
Carpenter, hit three singles as well
as making the outstanding defensive
play of the game She had to dive to
stop an errant throw home from get
ting away from her. She got up ready
to throw, keeping a runner on third.
Freshman Wendy Heckard con
tributed a single Friday, as did
sophomore J ill Ingram. Sophomore
Maureen Beckett hit a double.
Curtis said he feels good about the
Silverton game. He said the girls
worked out some personal conflicts
the night before and he feels they
played well as a team.
Monday the girls faced Diane
Baker and her Canby teammates,
losing 10-3. Curtis said, “ 1 was very
pleased with our hitting. They were
just too spread out."
The difference in the game? For
starters, three of Canby’s six hits
were home runs
In the second inning a Cougar
freshman "got up and smacked the
ball It'd s till he rolling if the fence
wasn’t there," Curtis said. Canby has
a shredded tire and sand field, which
provides superior drainage.
“ I t ’s a h itte r’s ball park,” Curtis
said, adding that the fielders got a
workout on the fast surface.
Gray struck out five, walked three
and gave up seven earned runs.
Baker struck out three, walked two
and gave up two earned runs
Gray contributed two singles Mon
day Heckard, Carpenter, junior Kim
Pearson, senior J ill Dahlager and
senior Cindi Coleman contributed a
single each.
The Pioneers committed six er
rors, two of them "m e n tal," meaning
the kind Curtis has a hard time living
with.
Still, the errors didn't hurt them
that much. "Offensively, they beat
us. We did not give it to them ”
After the Canby game Gray was
sporting a .314 batting average, while
Carpenter is .293.
Pioneer baseball team
drops two during week
‘‘I ’ve aged 10 years this season,”
Curtis Heath said at one point during
an interview about the baseball
team.
They fell 12-9 Tuesday to Canby
and 6-3 Friday to Estacada They had
beaten both teams earlier in the
season
Calling their 2-10 year a ‘ ‘hard luck
season,’’ he added. ‘‘The kids have
played exceptional at times They ’ve
never played really bad, but you
make your own breaks "
Mo Contreras turned in a four for-
four performance Tuesday He’s cur
rently hitting over 400 Mike Lund
and Troy Wolf are having better than
.300 seasons
Against Estacada Stu Hoffman's
solo homer tied the game in the sixth.
The Pioneers finish up Friday with
a home game against Molalla.
West Linn, 14-0, is the TVL eham
pion. Oregon City was next, at 12-2,
with Sweet Home 8-5, Canby 7-5,
M olaila 5-8, S ilverton 4-9, and
Estacada 1-12
Reflecting on the baseball pro
gram, Heath said it won't he long

Pearson is .375 with eight at-bats.
“ I don't know how legitimate that is,
but she’s having a good tim e ," Curtis
said, explaining that she’s been play
ing more lately.
F iis t Baseman Dawn New has a
974 fielding average. She has 69 put-
outs and five assists, which includes
a couple of double plays at home.
The win over Silverton cinched a
third-place finish for the Pioneers,
the best finish ever in the short
history of Sandy girls softball.
Golfers miss
state trip
by 1 stroke
The Sandy golf team was a birdie
away from the state golf tournament.
Going into the district golf tourna
ment, held Monday and Tuesday at
McNary Golf Course, the Pioneers
knew they had to beat Oregon City.
As it turned out Oregon C ity’s last
man birdied, giving them a 660-661
win over Sandy and the district title.
In the overall TVL race Oregon Ci
ty tied for first with Molalla, while
Sandy finished third.
Freshman Kevin Beaudoin finish
ed fifth , behind four seniors, thus
missing an opportunity to go to the
state meet as a medalist.
Beaudoin shot 79-78 for a 157.
Sophomore Rich Castile was seventh
with a 160 and Senior Rick I^ambert
was eighth with a 162.
That placed Beaudoin on the first
team all-league team (top five), and
Castile and Lambert on the second
team (top 10).
Coach Richard Kennedy was also
pleased with the improved play from
his fourth and fifth players, Darrin
Nash and Pete Schmautz.
Friday the Pioneers finished se
cond out of eight teams at the
Beaverton Invitational, held at Pro
gress Downs.
Beaudoin and Castile shot 76s, good
enough for their part in a three-way
tie for first place. Sandy took home
three of the six trophies
