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-

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

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.

tered four hits with ive strikeouts to lead Banks to a 10-0
win at Seaside Tuesday.
