Sunday it seemed to give the
Redhots players some spirit.
The Redhots and CCB were in
the same Tri-County League divi

About the state tournament,
Coach B rittle said, "W e’re just go

we win, that'll be great We w ill
work hard between now and then to
better our chances.”
Because of the number of girls
signed up to play in the Tri-County

eligible for state competition The
four teams in the district tourna

Team has ‘character’ if not a winning record
and Chris Bennett has been hitting
and pitching well, Rohr said.
The team is young, Rohr said, and
experience and m aturity are all they
lack. "W e’ve got some hard-nose
competitors on this team,” he said.
The team is 1-12 and that's hard for
this group to take because they’re
winners, Rohr said. "They've got
character ”
Rohr thinks the program w ill turn
Paola Pizza's American Legion
baseball team may not be setting the
world on fire, but Coach John Rohr
said his players are plenty com
petitive.
With one game remaining on the
schedule, Mike Lund is batting close
to 400
"H e ’s really doing a good job for
us,” Rohr said. Mo Contreras has
been doing the job behind the plate,
around when the underclassmen on
the team gain another year of ex
perience. All of his players have
another year of high school ball
ahead of them, and many of them
have more.
Curtis Heath has been building the
program for three years, and Rohr
wants people to understand that
when they start winning “We won’t
have any excuses if we lose next
year,” he said
Others on the team include Mark
Shelton, a catcher, third baseman,
shortstop and outfielder "He's a gut
sy competitor," Rohr said
Alan and Doug Jensen, both pit
chers, have also been showing steady
improvement, and Troy Wolf, a pit
cher and shortstop, "does a good
job.” Wolf has been kept out of the
pitching rotation by a sore shoulder.
\
Brad Pearson pitched Sandy’s only
win, and has contributed a grand
slam homer this summer.
Danny Paola is credited with doing
an outstanding job in center field.
"They come to play,” Rohr said of
the team. "They’re eager There is
no attitude problem.”
Reynolds and Centennial are the
top teams in the East Multnomah
County League.
Coach is hoping Ladies p u t it all together
Lance’s Ladies can play with the
best of them, according to Coach
Lance Staab.
"O ur potential is better than we
are showing,” he said earlier in the

He’s hoping between now and the

ment in Eugene the weekend of the

The first Sandy Mountain Days
"One P itch” Softball Tournament
was held Saturday at Kelso Grade
School.
Six men’s teams and four women’s
teams participated in what is hoped
w ill become an annual fund raising
event All proceeds from the one-day
tournament, sponsored by Dodson's
Bargain Store, w ill be used to
establish a fund for developing addi
tional playing fields in the Sandy
area.
The game differs from traditional
slo-pitch in that each batter gets only
one pitch. If that pitch is a ball, the
batter walks. If it is a strike and he
doesn't swing, he's out.
Ron's No Place won the men's divi
sion handily. Getty Rock of Garibaldi
finished second and Brightwood
Tavern was third.
In women's competition, The Store
was undefeated, taking first
Brightwood Store was second and
Wholesale Auto Wrecking was third.
