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

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.

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.
