McNary proves to be tough CELTS, test for top-ranked Tualatin continued from Page A14 BY MATT RAWLINGS Of the Keizertimes The Tualatin softball team hasn’t lost a game since 2017. But McNary gave the top-ranked Timberwolves a run for their money on Monday night. The Celtics outhit Tu- alatin 10-8 and held the lead through three innings, but the Timberwolves came back to score four runs in the top of the fi fth to come away with the 7-4 win. Despite the loss, McNary head coach Kevin Wise is pleased with the direction his team is heading as the Celtics prepare for the start of Mountain Valley Confer- ence play. “There were so many positives out of that game. To play well against a team that good is a huge confi dence builder,” Wise said. “It’s always disappointing to lose. But the reality off it is for six of the seven innings, we outplayed that team. We just had one bad inning.” The Celtics grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fi rst inning when Taylor Ebbs scored on a throwing error after reaching on an infi eld single. Tualatin responded by getting a run in the top of the third off of McNary pitcher Faith Danner, but the Celtics would regain the lead later in the frame. score from fi rst on the play, which ended up being a rally killer for the Celtics. KEIZERTIMES/Matt Rawlings Kamryn Miller sprints down the line after hitting a hard ground ball. With one on and two out, Ebbs roped an RBI-triple to the center fi eld wall, scoring Alexa Cepeda from fi rst and giving the Celtics the 2-1 advantage. Ebbs ended the game with three hits and a pair of RBIs. But later in the game, Tu- alatin showed why they are the #1 team in the state. After getting a run in the top of the fourth, the Tim- berwolves exploded for four runs in the fi fth to go on top 6-2. Tualatin added one more insurance run in the top of the sixth to extend their lead to 7-2. However, even with a fi ve-run defi cit entering the bottom of the seventh, the Celtics weren’t ready to throw in the towel as back- to-back RBI groundouts by Ebbs and Abbi Covalt in the fi nal inning cut the lead down to three. “To see these girls not quit in the seventh inning was really encouraging. They weren’t about to just roll over,” Wise said. ASK MR. TRASH Q. I heard about China’s ban on recycling. What IS recyclable now? A.

The Celtics put up crook- ed numbers in the fi rst four innings of play, scoring 17 unanswered runs to cruise to the easy win. While it was a monumen- tal game for the entire Mc- Nary offense, it was an espe- cially incredible day for Ebbs. The sophomore went 4-for-4 with eight RBIs and hit two three-run homers to lead the Celtics to a lopsided victory. Cepeda, along with Abbi Covalt and Kayelee Schwab, each had an extra-base hit in the win. “The girls came out on fi re that day,” Wise said. Danner got her fourth win of the season in the circle, surrendering seven hits and fi ve runs in fi ve innings. Game 4: McNary 11 Grant 1 (Tuesday, March 26). A fi ve-run fi rst inning propelled McNary to an ear- ly lead and they never looked back, defeating Grant 11-1 and getting their third run- rule victory of the tourna- ment. Covalt and Ebner each went 3-for-3 with two RBIs while Cepeda continued her hot streak at the plate with a 4-for-4 performance. Ebner outdid herself in her second start in the circle for the Celtics, going fi ve innings without giving up an earned run. Back-to-back doubles by Cepeda and Kate Ronning put McNary on top 1-0 with nobody out in the bottom of the fi rst. Ebbs then followed with an RBI-single to center fi eld to score Ronning from sec- ond. Moments later, a two-run single from Ebner extended McNary’s lead to 4-0. The Celtics would score one more run in the fi rst in- ning, then push three more across in the bottom of the second to take a commanding 8-0 advantage. in being staff ed better than any other senior living community Come See the Finest in Senior Living CALL (503) 390 -1300 1165 McGee Ct NE • Keizer, OR • VillageAtKeizerRidge.com WorshipDirectory These Salem-Keizer houses of worship invite you to visit.
