APRIL 19, 2019, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A11 BASE, continued from Page A14 CELTS, continued from Page A14 with both coaches and decid- ed to play the remainder of the game on the following day (Wednesday, April 10). But due to poor weather, the game was moved to Thursday. “We just approached it like we were going to play a normal baseball game today and and everything that typically happens on a game day was going to happen,” Keeker said. Jeffries started for the Celt- ics on the mound when the game continued in the top of the eighth. Sprague loaded up the bas- es with one out in the frame when Brett Hassoun hit a slow roller just to the left of the mound. Jeffries gathered and threw to home to get the force out, but Covalt was unable to corral the throw and was charged with an error, putting Sprague on top 7-6. But Jeffries gathered himself and retired the next two hit- ters, leaving three Olympians stranded on-base. Once again in a come- from-behind situation, the Celtics rose to the challenge. After Nigel Harris was fanned for the fi rst out, Ian Martin and Benson drew free passes to put the Celtics in the lead to two before the break. “We tightened up our pass- es and that allowed us to get better looks,” Jesse Proulx said. “We had to tell some guys to stop taking outside shots.” Both teams got multiple op- portunities to score to begin the second half, but neither squad could get one through the post for the fi rst seven minutes of the third quarter. That is, until Tyler Palanuk’s got a steal on defense, which he turned into a goal on offense to bring the Celtics within one at the 2:16 mark in the third quarter. Beaverton responded on their next possession with their fi rst score in nearly 20 minutes of game action, but Parks’ sec- ond goal of the contest got the defi cit back to just one at the end of the third period. It appeared McNary had the momentum to open the fi nal period as they tied the game 33 seconds into the quarter. Jesse Proulx’s shot-attempt was saved by the Beaverton goalie, but Proctor stole the outlet pass and KEIZERTIMES/Matt Rawlings Rennick Jeffries fi res a fastball to the dish in the 8th inning. business, bringing up Tavera. With a 1-1 count, Tavera hit a hard ground ball that got between the third baseman and shortstop for a base hit. “My natural intent was to drag bunt one down the third base line. But the pitcher wasn’t throwing a lot of strikes, so the fi rst pitch I saw down the middle I tried to hit to left fi eld,” Tavera said. Before the season started, Keeker commented that this team had a lot of speed and would look to be more aggres- sive on the bases. That aggression was seen fi rst hand on the fi nal play. Ian Martin scored easily on the play from second. Benson, however, decided to push the envelope and try to go from fi rst to third to put the win- ning run 90 feet away with one out. The Sprague left fi elder appeared to be unprepared for Benson trying to advance another base and rushed his throw to third. It would have been a bang- bang play had the throw been on target, but the one-hopper got by Deloretto at third and came to a rest at the fence by the McNary dugout. Benson scored on the error, sending the Celtics to victory. “That was all Benson. When he’s coming from fi rst base on a ball hit to left fi eld, that de- cision is his because the play is in front of him,” Keeker said. “Generally speaking, Robert is a pretty aggressive baserunner, so he felt like he had a chance to get there and he did.” “Getting 90 feet away with one out is a big advantage be- cause it gives you a lot of op- tions.” McNary returns to the di- amond on Saturday where they’ll play host to Mountain View. KEIZERTIMES/Matt Rawlings McNary’s Jamison Proulx battles (19) battles for a loose ball near midfi eld. put one in the back of the net. “These guys are resilient,” Hochspeier said. “They never give up and they know how to keep fi ghting, keep playing and keep pushing.” The Beavers scored mo- ments later to regain the lead. But Jesse Proulx put in his sec- ond score with 8:44 remaining in the contest by faking that he was going to reset the offense and then reversing his fi eld to just sneak a shot past the Bea- verton keeper. “We were just looking at getting the top-side shots,” Jesse Proulx said. However, the McNary of- fense became stagnant, settling for low-percentage shots, and didn’t score for the remainder of the game. Beaverton scored to grab an 8-7 advantage with 3:26 re- maining. The Celtics had several opportunities to force overtime, but back-to-back turnovers in the fi nal minute doomed Mc- Nary down the stretch. The Beavers got their fi nal goal off a McNary turnover with 13 seconds left in the game. “When it came down to it, Beaverton was able to get the ball into their key players hands late and they were tough to slow down,” Hochspeier said. McNary hosts Sisters at 8 p.m. on Friday Dutcher shoots 73 at Creekside Submitted McNary golfer Joel Dutcher follows through on his shot from the fairway on Monday afternoon. Dutcher ended the match tied for fi rst after shooting a 73. McNary golfer Joel Dutch- er was the co-winner of the Mountain Valley Confer- ence League Match #3 at Creekside Golf Course on Monday afternoon. Despite rainy conditions, Dutcher was 3-under-par on the front nine and even had four birdies. Dutcher shot a 40 on the back nine, giving him a fi nal score of 73 — which was tied for fi rst with West Salem’s Brandon Eyre. KEIZER CLASSIFIEDS LOST & FOUND SERVICES SERVICES LOST.
