PAGE B2, KEIZERTIMES, AUGUST 10, 2018 Volcanoes shine in all-star game Submitted By HERB SWETT Of the Keizertimes The Pioneer League all- stars, at the rookie level one notch below the Northwest League, beat the NWL all- stars 13-10 Tuesday in Grand Junction, Colorado. All four Salem-Keizer Volcanoes who played in this game, in which the lead changed hands fi ve times, performed well. Joey Bart hit a three-run home run in the fi rst inning, Diego Rincones hit two doubles and two singles and threw out a runner at home, and Gregory Santos and Jesus Tona each faced two batters without allowing a baserun- ner. In the fi ve-run top of the fi rst, Diosbel Arias of the Spo- kane Indians doubled, Andy Yerzy of the Hillsboro Hops singled, and Bart hit his hom- er. Rincones doubles, reached third base on a ground out, and scored as Olivier Basabe of the Tri-City Dust Devils grounded out. The Pioneer League scored twice in the fi rst. Nathan Ea- ton of the Idaho Falls Chu- kars, whose fi ve hits led all the players, singled, and Coco Montes of the Grand Junction Rockies, who had the other two homers of the game, hit his fi rst. Trailing 6-4 going into the bottom of the fourth, the Pioneer League scored three times to take the lead. All the runs came on Montes’s second homer. In the top of the fi fth, Rincones doubled, went to third on a sacrifi ce fl y, and The NW Bullets won the program’s frist PGF Championship on Saturday, Aug. 4 in California.

The NWL was ahead by a run, but the Pioneer League came back with two runs in the same inning. The NWL got back on top in the top of the sixth with two runs, neither involving a Volcano. The remaining four runs of the game came in the Pioneer League eighth, on a Texas League double, two sin- gles, and two errors by pitcher Emmanuel Clase of the Spo- kane Indians. Santos retired his two bat- ters in the bottom of the sixth. Tona did the same in the eighth, ending the inning. Deyni Olivero of the Mis- soula Osprey, the next to last pitcher for the Pioneer League, was the winning pitcher. Sean Barry of the Eu- gene Emeralds, the 10th of 12 NWL pitchers, took the loss. Ebbs was 2-for-3 with a tri- ple in the fi nal game. “This is one of my dreams and my goals and I accom- plished my goal and my dream came true,” Ebbs said. “We really showed ourselves and how we play as a team and we showed how well we can do and our potential. We’re just really proud of each and every person on that team for step- ping in and doing their job.” After three pool play games, the double elimination tourna- ment started with 66 teams on Tuesday, July 31. The Bullets shut out their fi rst two oppo- nents 5-0 and 8-0 on Tuesday but had to come from behind on Wednesday to stay in the winner’s bracket. Trailing 5-4, the Bullets scored three runs in the top of the seventh to defeat Acers Express 7-5. The Bullets then topped Salenas Storm 2-0 on Thursday. Don’t Lose Money from a ZILLOW Zestimate estimate PUT MY Ebbs made a catch in deep cen- ter fi eld for the fi rst out in the bottom of the seventh. “I didn’t think I was going to catch that ball,” Ebbs said. “It was behind me and it was in the right fi eld gap. It was about fi ve feet from the fence and we were playing pretty far in so I kind of snow coned it.” The Bullets led from start to fi nish to defeat the Arizona Athletics 6-3 on Friday morn- ing to advance to the semifi nals. Ebbs was 3-for-4 with a run and RBI in the victory. Playing the winner of the loser’s bracket, the undefeated Bullets had two chances to beat Universal Fastpitch to advance to the fi nals. And the Bullets played like it, falling behind 9-2 after two innings. “I think we were just tired,” Ebbs said. “Once we realized what was at stake, we got back in it and played our game.” The Bullets answered with four runs in the third, three in the fourth and one each in the fi fth and sixth to come from behind for an 11-9 win. “We realized that the pres- sure wasn’t on us,” Ebbs said. “We have a lot of fi ght and I think that our fi ght just kicked in and helped us out.” The Bullets, coached by Kayla Rice, have girls from Or- egon, Washington and Idaho. Ebbs has played for the Bul- lets for fi ve years and in the PGF tournament for the past three summers. The 2018 14U squad is the fi rst Bullets team to win the championship. , KNOWLEDGE, SERVICE AND TO WO R K F O R YO U .
