SPORTS THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 2016 7A Knappa clinches another NWL title By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian KNAPPA — Tuesday’s base- ball game at Teevin Field … looked pretty much like all the baseball games at Teevin Field. The Knappa Loggers, need- ing only four at-bats to build a 13-run lead, pitching and play- ing lawless defense, stealing bases at will, crushing the ball to all areas of the ield … In the end, the Vernonia Log- gers didn’t have a chance. Knappa wrapped up yet another Northwest League title Tuesday, with a decisive 13-0 win. The hometown Loggers improve to 15-1 in league play, to Vernonia’s 12-4. The two teams close out the league sea- son Friday with a doubleheader at Vernonia. Knappa has owned the league for the last four years, and they’ll likely own it for the next four. Over the last four years, Knappa is 74-2 in league play. And with most of Knappa’s tal- ent at the sophomore and junior levels, Vernonia’s opportunity this week was likely the last chance for any team to unseat Knappa as league champs, for at least the next two years. In Tuesday’s win, sopho- more pitcher Dale Takalo tossed a one-hit shutout, with four strikeouts and a walk. Junior shortstop Jason Miller ielded every ball hit his way, and a few that weren’t; junior Michal Goodman did everything from crushing a ball to deep center ield in the third inning, to lay- ing down a perfect squeeze bunt in the fourth; and sophomore Reuben Cruz scored twice and is looking more and more like the league’s Player of the Year with every game. Last but not least, Knappa’s lone senior — Noah Kinney — had two hits and drove in two more to earn the team’s Player of the Game honors. In short, it was Knappa base- ball, like they always play it. “It was a great day for Knappa baseball, and it was a great way to send Noah off that way,” said Knappa coach Jeff Miller. “He’s been so steady for us for four years. He’s about the best kid on Crook County Cowgirls ride off with golf title The Daily Astorian BANKS — The Crook County Cowgirls bested their irst round score by 16 strokes, and made off with the Special District 1 Regional golf team title, Tuesday at Quail Valley Golf Course. Crook County inished with a two-day total 758, ahead of second place Scap- poose (787) and Valley Catholic (839). Astoria had its sec- Gary Henley/The Daily Astorian Knappa’s Jason Miller, No. 6, comes flying in to score another run in Tuesday’s 13-0 NWL baseball victory. anybody’s team. He’s not lashy, but he’s automatic on every ball hit to him. He’s only made three errors in four years. He’s leaving quite a legacy here.” Vernonia had a slim chance of unseating Knappa as league champs, but they would have had to sweep this week’s three- game series. After only ive innings, the chase is over. “The irst game was import- ant,” Miller said. “We wanted to get it done here today, on our ield. “I know Vernonia wasn’t at full strength, and that’s unfor- tunate for them, but our kids played well,” he said. “They get three starters back on Friday — their center ielder, shortstop and pitcher. “I know they regret not hav- ing everybody here today, but to our kids’ credit, they went out and played well,” he said. “We didn’t win it by default or any- thing. Whether they were at full strength or not, our kids went out and took it today. They smelled another league title.” Knappa’s pitching and hitting is impressive enough, but it could ultimately be their defense that wins a second straight state title. The only thing Knappa play- ers dropped all day was the Gatorade bucket, over their coach’s head after the game. “We play to get better every day, and we’re foolish enough to think we can win every time we go out. That’s our goal,” said Miller, who picked up career coaching win No. 297 with the victory. “It was a team effort, up and down the lineup. We produced, we ran some good bases, and forced (Vernonia) into mistakes.” The game It actually took Knappa three at-bats to jump on the scoreboard. After a scoreless irst and second, Goodman led off the third with a double to center. He eventually scored on the irst of three Vernonia errors in the inning, while Jason Miller reached base on a bunt. A sacriice ly from Takalo scored Colton Weirup, and Miller raced home on a grounder by Cruz. Vernonia committed two errors on the play, allowing Miller to score and Cruz to reach second. Kinney capped the inning with an inield single that scored Cruz for a 4-0 lead. Takalo retired the side in order in the top of the fourth, and Knappa went right back to work. Goodman walked, Logan Bartlett reached on a bunt, Weir- up’s inield single scored Good- man, and Miller drove in a run on a base hit to left. Moments later, Takalo’s line drive up the middle struck Vernonia pitcher Brett Elliott, knocking him to the ground. Weirup and Miller both cir- cled the bases to score, and Takalo reached second by the time Vernonia was able to ield the ball. Elliott remained in the game, but gave up a walk, a run-scor- ing single to Kinney, then hit Mason Hoover. Elliott left the game, and Knappa scored four more runs — two on wild pitches, Hoover sprinted home on a squeeze bunt by Goodman, and Takalo was hit by a pitch with the bases full. Three Vernonia pitchers walked six, while the Vernonia defense committed ive errors. On the Knappa side, “We played some really good defense today,” Miller said. “Our defense has been solid all year. (Fresh- man) Shaun Lackey makes a tough catch in right ield look- ing into the sun, and Jay (Miller) was a vacuum at short today. He saw a lot of tough grounders and made ‘em look routine.” As for Takalo, “his location was good,” coach Miller said. “He kept the ball down, mixed in a few curve balls — he didn’t have to throw too many, but he located it. It wasn’t his top velocity, but his location was so good, it didn’t matter.” Vernonia’s only hit was an inield single by Elliott in the irst inning, when he was ruled safe on a close play at irst. “It’s unfortunate for Dale, but it doesn’t change what he did,” Miller said. “Whatever you label it, he was outstanding today.” ond-best score of the season in Tuesday’s round (441) and inished ifth with a 904, followed by Seaside (923). Oregon Episcopal’s Jane Schlenorf took medalist honors with a inal round 180. Seaside’s Caroline Kot- son inished tied for 10th overall with a 203, with Astoria senior Chloee Hunt inishing her athletic career 14th with a 205. Complete scores will be listed Thursday. BASEBALL ROUNDUP Fishermen belt three homers in win Astoria only had six hits, but took advantage of six walks, ive hit batters and three Tillamook errors to score a 13-4 win over the Cheesemakers, Tuesday at Aiken Field. Kyle Strange, Carter Wallace and Tyler Lyngstad all had home runs for Astoria, which led 5-0 after two innings before giving up four runs in the top of the third. The Fishermen answered with ive runs in the bottom of the third to pull away, as pitchers Carter Wallace, Lyngs- tad and Jackson Arnsdorf combined to limit Tillamook to just four hits. Jasyn Gohl was Astoria’s only multiple hitter, going 2-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored. Braves blank the Gulls SEASIDE — Jake Evans threw 99 pitches, and scat- tered four hits with ive strikeouts to lead Banks to a 10-0 win at Seaside Tuesday. The Braves had 10 hits off two Seaside pitchers, but only led 3-0 after six innings.
