Edie jumped to catch a fl y
to deep right fi eld in the sec-
ond.
A double play, shortstop
Rivera to second baseman
McPherson to fi rst baseman
Franco, ended the game.
Asked why he had pulled
Winn after two games, Borg
said he was testing the starting
potentials of all his pitchers.
“We’re doing a good job
overall as a team, working on
executing,” he added.
Jacknewitz, asked what he
was doing to pitch well con-
sistently after being roughed
up in his fi rst game, said he
was simply working on being
consistent.
McPherson, who has
played both shortstop and
second base for the Volcanoes,
said he was comfortable at ei-
ther position.
He said he was not new
to wooden bats, having used
them in summer ball between
seasons at James Madison
University.
The attendance was 1,188.
Wednesday, June 27:
Volcanoes 9, Eugene 3
The Volcanoes guaranteed

lead in the fi rst inning on
doubles by Diego Rincones
and Trevor Abrams and a sin-
gle by Robinson Medrano.

After two outs and singles
by David Villar and Medrano,
a walk to Ricardo Genoves,

can do this year.

struck out six in his seven in-
nings.

him, went two innings and
got the win for a 1-0 record.
Jesus Tona had his third save.
Reliever Juan Nunez was the

Volcanoes only 7-6 but put

and Christopher Bec, togeth-
er in the fi fth.

Keizer’s starting pitcher, lost
his fi rst game against three
wins.

WILSON,
continued from Page B1
One day he fell down in
some shallow water. “Hell,
they even waited till the next
year to tease me,” he adds
with a chuckle. “Last time we
saw you, you had a wet butt,”
one of the regulars teased.
“Thought I better wait till
this year to laugh.”
Often younger anglers
jump in and help the Old
Man carry his gear to the
truck. He likes to tell about
the time a lady told her hus-
band, “Help him carry his
things to his truck.”
Jokes and teasing help pass
the long periods of down
time while plunking. Make a
mistake netting or fi ghting a
fi sh and the word will spread
and become part of the “river
lore.” Knock a fi sh off with a
net, a year later–fi sh on. “You
better hurry up, here comes
Bob with a net.”
The Old Man has received
his share of teasing. He always
has a lawn chair. “Few more
years and he’ll have a chaise
lounge,” one of the younger
guys offers. “Yep, he’ll just
say, one of you land that fi sh
for me. Not fi nished with my
coffee and cookie.”
Gravity continues its nev-
er-ending pull on the Old
Man’s body. A handicapped
parking permit allows him
to drive closer to his favorite
plunking spot.
With the assistance of a
sturdy walking stick he can
make his way to the river
carrying one or two items at
a time.
For the past two years, he
has been blessed with the
loving care of a younger fi sh-
ing friend, that is not only a
skilled angler, but has dedi-
cated himself to taking care
of the Old Man.
“You get yourself to the
river,” he offers. “I’ll bring
your chair and gear.” He
takes care of everything else.
Pounding sandspikes into the
ground, hauling gear, setting
up the lawn chair and conve-
niently arranging gear. When
fi sh are landed, he nets, cleans
and fi llets them. He also does
the driving.
Most important, the two
have developed a bond that
goes beyond friendship. A

bond that has helped fi ll a
void brought about by trag-
edies.
The Old Man lost his only
son who had shared years of
outdoor experiences with
him.
The young man had
grown up hunting and fi sh-
ing with a Dad who became
a quadriplegic a few years
ago. His Dad told them, “I
will have to live fi shing vi-
cariously through you two
now.”
When fi shing on the river,
the Old Man calls the Dad
and gives him reports. On
successful days the catch is
brought home to show the
Dad.
A noted psychologist once
said, “During a lifetime you
will only have 4-5 people
you will be able to share
what is deepest inside you.”
The Old Man has found
one of those people on his
River.
