Salem-Keizer survives Everett scare
By HERB SWETT
For the Keizertimes
The Volcanoes didn’t quite
blow their lead July 31, but it
was a wild one for the crowd
of 3,029.
Everett scored twice in
the fi rst inning at Volcanoes
Stadium, and Salem-Keizer
responded with seven runs in
the bottom of the fi rst. Then
the AquaSox scored twice in
the second and were answered
by one Salem-Keizer run.
In the third, Everett made
it an 8-7 game, and that’s
where the score stayed until
the end.
It was Striking Out Sub-
stance Abuse night, featuring
pregame police demonstra-
tions and an appearance by
McGruff the Crime Dog,
brought in by helicopter.
The Volcanoes’ starting
pitcher, Mac Marshall, was
a starter at Chipola College
and has had rough starts since
joining the Volcanoes but is
still considered to have the
potential to keep that role. In
2-1/3 innings he gave up sev-
en runs, four earned, on eight
hits but struck out three and
walked none.
In the top of the fi rst, the
AquaSox’s Shawn O’Malley
doubled to center fi eld, went
to third base on a wild pitch
and scored as Corey Simpson
doubled to left center. Erick
Mejia hit an infi eld single and
reached second on a throw-
ing error by second base-
man Christian Lichtenthaler.
Simpson scored on the play.
In the Salem-Keizer fi rst,
CJ Hinojosa walked with one
out and reached second on a
single to right by Ronnie Je-
bavy. Miguel Gomez doubled
to right, scoring both baser-
unners. Jose Vizcaino Jr. dou-
bled to right, with Gomez
moving to third. Fernando
Pujadas singled to left, scoring
Gomez and sending Vizcaino
to third. John Riley brought
Vizcaino home with a single
to right. Lichtenthaler bunted
a single to load the bases.
Joe Pistorese then took the
mound to replace starter Da-
rin Gillies, who became the
losing pitcher with a 1-2 re-
cord. Steven Duggar singled
to left center, driving in Pu-
jadas and Riley. Duggar was
in a rundown trying to steal
second but made it when
shortstop O’Malley missed a
throw. Lichtenthaler scored
on the play.
Everett’s PJ Jones led off
the second with a single to
center and went to second
on a wild pitch. Yordi Calde-
ron reached fi rst on a throw-
ing error by third baseman
Gomez that allowed Jones to
score. Calderon stole second,
went to third on a grounder
and scored on a balk.
Jebavy led off the second
with a home run, his fi fth,
over the left fi eld wall. Go-
mez hit an infi eld single and
went to second as an error
by third baseman Logan Tay-
lor put Vizcaino on fi rst. Pu-
jadas loaded the bases with
an infi eld single, but Pistorese
struck out Riley and got Julio
Pena to hit into a double play.
The Volcanoes made dou-
ble plays in the fourth, sixth
and seventh innings.
In the Everett third, Simp-
son hit a one-out double to left
and scored as Mejia doubled to
center. Luis Liberato scored
Mejia with a triple to right,
and Jones singled to left to send
Mejia home. Luis Pino, who
became the winning pitcher
with a 3-0 record, came in to
relieve Marshall and retired the
next two batters.
Nobody got farther than
second base for the rest of the
game. Jaret Leverett pitched

Volcanoes and Lance Thon-

his fi fth save.

Owens, playing his fi rst
professional season, said he

He called his curve his best
pitch.
Free physicals for
OSAA athletes
Willamette Surgery Center will host a free sports physical
clinic on Saturday, Aug. 8.
Open to all student athletes, the physicals will be provided
from 8:30 to 11 a.m at Willamette Surgery Center, located at
1445 State Street, in Salem.
Athletes must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you
are interested in having your athlete participate, please fi ll out
the physical examination form completely and legibly ahead of
time and bring it to the clinic.
Forms can be found in each school’s main offi ce, or printed
from the school or The Oregon School Activities Association
(OSAA) website. The OSAA mandates all student athletes have
physicals prior to participation in athletics.
WSC has offered free sports physicals to school athletes for
the past 11 years.
“We typically provide about 120 to 150 free sports physicals
every year at this event, and we would love to do more,” said
Marilynn Daberkow, a Hope Orthopedic registered nurse who
is helping to coordinate the free clinic. “Clearly it meets a need
for the Salem area; many student athletes would not be able to
participate in their favorite sports without the free physicals we
offer. We are happy to do it, it’s a fun way for our staff and physi-
cians to give back to our community.”

game stringing hits
By HERB SWETT
For the Keizertimes
The Northwest League All-
Stars took 10 innings to beat
the Pioneer League All-Stars
6-5 Tuesday in Spokane.
This was a close one all the

tom of the fourth, but the hit
was unproductive.

out one.
Facing Einhardt of the
Great Falls Voyagers in the
bottom of the fi fth, LeDarious

walked with two out, stole
second and third and scored
