HAZEL DELL Wash
It wasn't
a fun outing for the Paola's Pioneers
baseball team Monday as the host
Hazel Dell Jays annihilated the
Pioneers, 17-7, in Junior State action
With tem peratures in the upper
80s, both teams clobbered the ball ef
fectively However, Paola's, the
Junior State team from Sandy, com
mitted eight errors in the game
which lasted just 4‘j innings
The loss lowered the Pioneers'
league record to 7-8-1 and 9-9-1
overall They are tied with the
Barlow Bruins for fifth in league
standings
We hit the ball real well,' said
Clyde Kusaw. coach of the Pioneers
'That's what bothered me the most,
is that we got the hits but couldn't get
anything going offensively."
The final score, officially, was 17-7
However. Hazel I M-ll scored five runs
in the bottom of the fifth and Paola's
couldn't make the third out But the
game was technically over after 4‘x
innings
Paola's held a 1-4) lead after the
first half inning, when Pete Busaw
scored on a single by Wes Kelley,
who played in his first game since
June 15 due to a wrist injury
But the Jays answered in the bot
tom half of the first w ith eight runs
all of which were unearned, taking an
8-1 lead
The Pioneers had a big second inn
ing, scoring five runs on as many
hits
leading off the second was pitcher
Mike Senn, who singled and later
moved to second base on an over
throw during a pick off attempt
After Paola's made its first out H«xl
Schilperoort hit a stand-up triple,
scoring Senn
The second Pioneer out was made
and, after Aaron Knotts walked,
another stand-up triple was hit. this
time by Pete Busaw. who knocked hi
Schilperoort and Knotts in the pro
cess.
Then, Bob Barrett hit a sharp
grounder through the legs of the
Hazel Ik-11 third baseman, giving
Busaw thv easy score
Kelley then earned his second
single of his return to the Pioneer ac
tive squad, scoring Barrett, who had
earlier stolen second base
The Jays went scoreless in the bot
tom of the second but still m aintcned
an 8-6 lead
In the third inning, the Jays had
another big inning, scoring nine runs
and upping their lead to 17-6
The Pioneers could only muster
one run in the fourth on a freak plav
in the outfield With Knotts on third
and Busaw on firs,. Barrett hit a fly
ball to right field Busaw, who was
attempting to steal second on the run-
and-hit play, saw that the trail was
apparently going to be caught
However, tha- Jay right fielder drop
ped the ball and Busaw was forced
out at second
Barrett, however, was safe at first
ami Knotts had time to cross the
plate, cutting the Hazel Ik-Il lead to
17-7.
But the hole was too deep for the
Pioneers and Hazel Dell won the con
test due to the lft-run rule
" D e fe n s iv e ly , we ju st took
ourselves out of the game
said
Clyde Busaw whose team hadn’t
played or practiced consistently for
six days Hazel Ik-Il, meanwhile, had
played in a four-game tournament
during the weekend
The thing with these tournaments
is that they may wear out your pit
i hing but they keep the res, of your
team sharp," Busaw said
After a non-league game W'ednes
day, the results of which were not
available at press time, Paola's has
two remaining scheduled league con
tests Friday and Monday However,
the Pioneers might make up a game
against Prairie i Wash i either Satur
day or Wednesday, depending upon
whether the game would affect
league standings
Five players on the Pioneer team
are batting 333 and above Kelley
unofficially leads the team at 429
However, his average is based on on
ly 21 at bats Busaw bats 370 and
leads the team in on-base percentage
at 582. drawing 23 walks Barrett
and Adam Cannon are each batting
353 and Knotts is at .333
Barrett leads the team in home
runs i five), runs tiatted in 27 i and
stolen bases < 14 > Doug Cassidy has
15 BBI, good for second on tlx- club
Busaw has scored a team-leading 24
times and has nine steals Knotts is
second in the runs-si ored depart
