JULY 29, 2016, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A11 Volcanoes come up short STANDINGS / Northwest League TEAM W L PCT GB NORTH DIVISION By HERB SWETT For the Keizertimes Salem-Keizer lost to Ev- erett 8-5 Saturday for its fi rst loss in the home series after two wins. After the AquaSox scored the fi rst run of the game in the second inning, the Volcanoes scored twice in the bottom of the second but lost the lead for good after Everett’s four run rally in the fourth. There were two home runs in the game, both by Everett. Nick Thurman’s two-out shot over the right fi eld fence in the second off Volcano starter Raffi Vizcaino provided the fi rst run. In the Volcano second, John Riley led off with a walk, Ryan Kirby singled to left center fi eld, and Kevin Rivera bunted a single to load the bases. Chase Compton was hit by a pitch from AquaSox starter Jake Brentz, forcing Riley home. Manuel Geraldo scored Kirby with a sacrifi ce fl y to right. Thurman started Everett’s fourth-inning rally with a one-out walk. Jason Goldstein singled to right, and Dimas Ojeda loaded the bases with an infi eld hit. A wild pitch by Vizcaino scored Thurman. Bryson Brigman drove Gold- stein home with a single to right. Donnie Walton walked, and the bases were loaded again. A grounder by Eric Filia forced Walton out but scored Ojeda. Brigman scored on a wild pitch. The Volcanoes responded with two runs in the fourth. Rivera singled to right, stole second base, and scored as Compton singled to right. El- liot Surrey relieved Brentz and sent Compton to second with a wild pitch. On a three-and- two count, Gio Brusa doubled to right, scoring Rivera and Compton. At the start of the fi fth, Rayan Hernandez relieved Vizcaino, who became the losing pitcher with an 0-3 record. Hernandez gave up singles to Nick Zammarelli and Jhombeyker Morales but struck out Thurman and got Goldstein to hit into a dou- ble play, pitcher to shortstop Manuel Geraldo to fi rst base- man Kirby. In the top of the sixth, Oje- da led off with the AquaSox’s second home run, clearing the right fi eld wall. Brigman singled to center, stole sec- ond, and scored on Walton’s double down the right fi eld line. Walton went to third on a passed ball and scored on a wild pitch. Salem-Keizer scored the last run of the game in the sixth. Julio Pena doubled to left, and Compton drove him in with a double to right. The Volcanoes did not stop fi ghting. Pena hit a one-out triple to right in the eighth. Thomas Burrows, a lefthand- er, relieved Covelle. The left- handed hitting Compton had had two hits, but manager Kyle Haines played the percentages and had Ryan Howard pinch hit. However, Howard truck out looking, with the third- strike call drawing boos from the crowd. Geraldo grounded out to end the inning. Howard stayed in the game at shortstop, with Geraldo moving to third. Jeff Burke pitched the ninth and set Ev- erett down in order with two strikeouts. Hernandez, despite allowing three runs on six hits in his four innings, left the game with a 1.71 earned run average. Brusa led off the Volcano ninth with a single to left, and Heath Quinn followed with another single to left.

However, Burrows struck out Kirby and Rivera and had his second save. “Those two big innings got us,” Haines said. “We’ve got to fi nd a way to limit the dam- age.” Rivera, who had played solidly at bat and in the fi eld, said, “Tomorrow we’ll get ahead and win the series.” Burke, who with CJ Gett- man has shared the ninth- inning role since Cesar Yanez was promoted to Augusta, said of his 1-2-3 inning that it seemed to happen because he just “felt good.” “My fastball worked well, and Riley called the pitches well,” he observed. WILSON, continued from Page 10 keep it small. They have tiny mouths. Some days they will hit a small brass swivel and hook, or a colorful bead. We are prepared with multiple color combinations: Chartreuse/gold, chartreuse/ silver, red/silver. Arndt also stresses the im- portance of different colors, “If I don’t get a hit in 15 min- utes, I change colors.” We begin our day, each fi shing a different color. Fish- ing is slow. We keep changing colors. Our neighbors to the left are fi shing for salmon. A rod goes down and a 7-foot white sturgeon cartwheels out of the water and takes them for a run downriver, before they can catch up and release her. Shad come in schools and move upriver in fi sh traveling lanes. Success depends on an- choring in one of those lanes. We see a few shad hooked further out from shore. We move and immediately get hook-ups. Fishing is still slow. Koske- la’s goal of 100 begins to fade. Four young Vietnamese guys from Seattle anchor be- side us. They had fi shed this spot yesterday. They are very friendly. “Very slow yesterday until two o’clock,” one offers. “We caught 50 after that. We like the roe.” As the day progresses it be- comes obvious we are in the best lane. Hookups continue to be sporadic until around 1:30. We have a double, then another double. Things can become pretty wild with three lines, two hot fi sh in heavy current, and light gear. At one point Koskela scoops up two fi sh--at one time--with the landing net. Our neighbors sit watching us with “angler envy” as they hook the occasional stray fi sh. Varner and I continue to hook fi sh while Koskela fi res up the grill and serves hot pulled pork sandwiches. The upriver breezes soon share the sweet aroma of herbs and spic- es with our neighbors. Koskela does a quick count. Thirty-fi ve. Two-thirty p.m. and we probably have two hours of traffi c to deal with due to the Portland Rose Fes- tival. When we pull anchor, the young guys next to us pull anchor to quickly move into our spot. “We take your spot. You guys go.” They offer with a laugh, “She can stay.” We have had a fun day, in a magnifi cent setting. We start thinking, next trip? Need at least 70 more shad. ABOUT SHAD American Shad from the east coast were introduced into the Sacramento River in the late 1800s. They expanded into the Columbia River and by 2005, a record six million shad came into the Columbia River. They are the largest of the herring family. Average size shad are 12-25 inches in length and 2.5 to 5 pounds The American shad is a highly anadromous species that returns to its freshwater (natal) areas to spawn. Males and females may return to spawn more than once, and females can produce 30,000 to 60,000 eggs. Juveniles migrate down- river with most reaching the ocean before winter. Shad normally spend 3-4 years at sea before returning to spawn. Shad fi shing can be great fun for the family. Lots of fi sh means plenty of action. Shad come up the Mult- nomah Channel into the Wil- lamette River. Since they do not traverse the fi sh ladder at Willamette Falls, they concen- trate in the Oregon City area, providing a lengthy fi shing opportunity. Best bank access is in the Clackamett Park area and Meldrum Bar at the mouth of the Clackamas River. Bank anglers have good success on the Columbia at Tanner Creek, off I-84, and below the fi sh ladder at Bonn- eville Dam. Anglers in the know plan on shad runs being in full swing for Father’s Day. Good fi shing should continue through Mid-July. Some years over a million stream over Bonneville Dam. WARNING Anchoring in the Colum- bia below Bonneville can be dangerous. Powerful current and wind combinations can become deadly. Do not at- tempt anchoring in the area without an experienced per- son on board. SWIM, 7-8 back and breaststroke, re- spectively. On the strength of its boys, Holiday defeated Jan Ree 326-244 last Thursday in Sa- lem. Kameron Splonski set a new club record of 34.75 sec- onds in the 9-10 breaststroke and also won the free and backstroke. He then jumped up to help Hunter Williams, Jack McCarty and Tony Gon- zales win both the 13-14 free and medley relays. Williams took fi rst in the 15-18 free and backstroke. Individually, Gonzales won the 13-14 fl y and free while McCarty had the fastest time in the breaststroke. Vinny Arnold and Jared Toland won the 7-8 free and backstroke, respectively. The two also won the free relay with Noah Williams and Lin- coln Hollis and the medley relay with Williams and Brody Hollis. James Toland took fi rst in the 11-12 free and breast- stroke. Carter Hollis won the IM and fl y while Jackson Colyer touched the wall fi rst in the backstroke. All three boys joined Xavier Grantham to win the free relay and Evan Anderson to place fi rst in the medley relay. Alex Willcoxen set a new Holiday club record in the 9-10 girls fl y, fi nishing in 18.4 seconds. Kyra Norstrom won the back and free and Erika Robi- nett had the fastest time in the breaststroke. Willcoxen and Robinett also swam on the winning free and medley relay teams with Emma Anderson and Maya Privratsky. Cassidy Kerner won the 7-8 fl y, free and breaststroke. Twins Bella and Alex Beard helped Holiday dominate the 13-14 division. Bella had the fastest times in the 13-14 IM and breast- stroke while Alex won the backstroke. Jayla Toland touched the wall fi rst in the fl y and free. The three joined Kylie McCarty to win both the free and medley relays. McCarty also had the fastest times in the 15-18 fl y, free and breaststroke. Although she has been an avid angler for years, she has never fi shed for shad. Koskela’s goal for the trip is 100 shad. Last time we had Ken Zandol, of Keizer, with us. We boated 107. You can get a good idea for planning your trip by watch- ing the shad count over Bonn- eville Dam. Numbers have been fl uc- tuating over the week, mostly 17,000-40,000 a day. A couple of days came close to 100,000. We launch Koskela’s 20- foot Alumaweld at fi rst light. On our way upriver we pass hoglines of boats anchored fi shing for spring chinook. We join a couple dozen boats at the popular Shad Rack. (Fitting name for a shad fi shery.) Looks like about half of them are fi shing for salmon. Koskela likes to fi sh near the Washington shore in 8-10 foot water. Basic rule for shad lures; continued from Page 10 Anna Kosiewicz also had a big day in the pool with the fastest time in the 15-18 free and swimming on the win- ning medley relay with Abby Reedy, Emma Garland and Bailey White as well as the free relay with Garland, White and Kat Kosiewicz. Individually, Reedy touched the wall fi rst in the 13-14 backstroke. Allyson Matthews, Anna Sponable, Kristine Thomas and Kianna Staley won the 11-12 free relay.
