SEPTEMBER 4, 2015, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A9 Volcanoes take series win over Hawks By HERB SWETT For the Keizertimes It was a better week for the Volcanoes than the previous one, with a split of the last two games with Everett and a series win over Boise. Aug. 26: Volcanoes 3, Everett 2 (10 innings) This win evened the Volca- noes’ road series at 2-2. It was a 1-0 Salem-Keizer game until the ninth inning, when Chris Shaw made it 2-0 with his eighth home run of the season. Then Everett tied it in the bottom of the ninth, but the Volcanoes scored the fi nal run in the 10th. The fi rst Volcano run came in the third, when a double by Shilo McCall drove in Junior Amion, who had also doubled.

Volcano starter Logan Webb was the losing pitcher at 3-5. Aug. 28: Boise 5, Volcanoes 0 Great Boise pitching and weak Salem-Keizer hitting brought about this disappoint- ing start to a home series. The Volcanoes had only fi ve hits, the only one for extra bas- es a double by Miguel Gomez, Christian Lichtenthaler, a late bloomer with the bat, had two of the hits, raising his batting average to .259. Hawk starter Colin Wel- mon went fi ve innings for the win and a 2-4 record. Relievers Matt Meyer and Craig Schlit- ter each pitched two innings. Luis Pino, the Volcanoes’ starter, gave up all fi ve runs in his six innings, but only two runs were earned. His record ran to 3-1 with a 1.38 earned run average. Boise was helped by an error in the third inning by third baseman Gomez and two fourth-inning errors by short- stop Lichtenthaler. The Hawks made no errors. Aug. 29: Volcanoes 2, Boise 0 The bats of Miguel Gomez and John Riley and the arms of Drew Leenhouts and Ryan Halstead evened the series with the Hawks. Both runs came in the fourth inning. Gomez led off with his sixth of the season, Boise starter Jack Wynkoop re- tired the next two batters, and Riley hit his fi fth homer. Boise threatened several times, with baserunners reach- ing third base in the second, fi fth and eighth innings. Leenhouts pitched 7-2/3 innings, allowing six hits but only one walk and striking out fi ve. He won his seventh game against four losses. Halstead pitched the rest of the way, with two strikeouts, and had his sixth save. Wynkoop’s record went to 2-4. Aug. 30: Volcanoes 4, Boise 2 Ronnie Jebavy had three singles and three stolen bases and drove in two runs to lead Salem-Keizer to a 2-1 edge in the series.

Duggar stole third, and Miguel Gomez singled him home. In the seventh, Ashford Ful- mer and Christian Lichtenthaler hit two-out singles. A throwing error by third baseman Kevin Padlo advanced both runners, and Jebavy singled them home. The Hawks scored a run in the fi rst on two doubles and one in the seventh on three singles. Nolan Riggs, the fi rst Vol- cano pitcher, struck out four in fi ve innings. Eric Sim followed with his third hold of the sea- son. David Owen became the winning pitcher despite pitch- ing only two-thirds of an in- ning. Caleb Smith got his sev- enth save. All four left the game with earned run averages below three. Dylan Thompson was the losing pitcher in relief. we have to keep going.” On the North Salem side of the game, the Vikings are expected to rely quite a bit on Giovanni Gonzalez, who rushed for more than 600 yards and eight touchdowns as a sophomore. However, word on the street was that the Viking team was throwing the ball a bit more in the preseason than they have in the past. Regardless, Auvinen had faith in his Celtics. “If everybody does their as- signment, I’m excited about Coach (KJ) McCrae’s game- plan and I think our guys will do just fi ne with North’s offen- sive schemes,” he said.
