SPORTS THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 2016 7A Another rally, another Logger win Knappa advances to second straight title game By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian KNAPPA — Looking to build a winning high school baseball program? The Knappa Loggers — who usually win anyway — have stumbled upon an unbeat- able formula: Build a 3-0 deicit, bring in your “closer,” then rally for the win. Of course it helps when you’ve already got an ace pitcher who has literally never (as in never) lost a high school game; you own the state’s best defense at the 2A level; and your entire lineup is known as “Murderer’s Row.” Knappa coach Jeff Miller is thinking of writing a book on the subject (“Winning the Unconventional Way”), while his Loggers are once again headed back to the state championship game fol- lowing a 9-4 win over Mon- roe Tuesday in a 2A semiinal contest at Teevin Field. The Loggers will face Burns at 1:30 p.m. Friday at Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer. Burns may own the No. 1 seed, but the numbers will be stacked against the Hilanders, who will face a team that has yet to start their No. 1 pitcher in a playoff game this year; a team that’s won 51 of its last 52 games; and a team that’s 2-0 at Volcanoes Stadium. And a team that’s just plain on ire. The Loggers may have a bad inning here or there, but no team has found a way yet to beat “The Formula.” For the third straight game — all against teams from the Special District 3 — the Log- gers fell behind by at least a 3-0 count, put Dale Takalo on the mound in the middle innings, then rallied to win. Knappa gave up three runs in the irst inning Tuesday, took a brief lead with four runs Kevin Hume/For the Daily Astorian Astoria’s Cade O’Brien knocks the ball out of Henley second baseman Kyle Hadwick’s glove to safely steal second in Tuesday’s semifinal in Klamath Falls.

Knappa defeated Monroe 9-4. More photos online at DailyAstorian.com/sports in the third, then snapped a 4-4 tie with four more in the ifth. Miller wondered aloud after the win, “How can you have three games the exact same, against three teams from the same league? “It was a carbon copy of the last two,” he said. “We came out with some shaky defense, a little bit of nerves, no base hits early in the game … then middle innings, here we go, we have a big inning, we hold on, Dale pumps in the strikes, and we go home happy. “You’d think that’s our rec- ipe, but it isn’t,” he laughed. “I’ll write a book on this. If anybody wants gray hair, fol- low this formula.” It’s still become a solid gold routine for the Loggers. Call it the “Good-alo Game.” Michal Goodman got his third consecutive start, did his job by keeping the Loggers within three runs, then let the offense and Takalo do the rest. “Nothing against Mike — he’s done a good job the whole year, and he’s doing ine for us right now,” said Knappa sophomore Reuben Cruz, who has yet to experi- ence a playoff loss in his prep career. “Mike starts on the mound and wins games,” he said. “If Mike can do his job like that every time, we’re good.” Meanwhile, Takalo drove in Knappa’s irst run in the third on a double to left that scored Logan Bartlett; and after an intentional walk to Cruz, senior Noah Kinney highlighted his inal home game with a single that plated Colton Weirup and Takalo for a 6-4 lead. With his leadoff single, “Bartlett set the tone early and got us rolling,” Miller said. “When your eight-hitter is a freshman who can go and do that — and he’s done it all year — that’s a great deal. See- ing him get the irst hard con- tact of the day, it’s one of those classic deals where the hitting became contagious. Suddenly we’re hitting the balls hard.” The Dragons scored a run in the top of the ifth, but Knappa put the game away in the bottom of the inning. Cruz led off with a ground- rule double, and a crucial Monroe error allowed Kinney to reach second and pushed Cruz to third. Following two consecutive walks that loaded the bases, Weirup and Jason Miller each had run-scoring singles for an 8-4 lead. The Dragons — much like they did in last year’s state championship loss to the Log- gers — suffered a defensive meltdown with two errors in the ifth and two more in the sixth. “I don’t know what it is,” Cruz said of Knappa’s third straight comeback win. “I think we know that it’s not over, and that we can always come back. We’ve done it twice already, so there’s no reason to get down.” Knappa inished with 12 hits from eight different play- ers, while Mason Hoover drove in three runs. Takalo picked up the vic- tory, as he faced just two bat- ters over the minimum in his ive innings pitched. He struck out the side in the top of the seventh. “It was not a game where either team was clean,” coach Miller said. “Some nerves showed up and a few other things. You name it, we had it. And later in the game (the Dragons) made a few physi- cal mistakes of their own. But we did hit the ball, and we hit it hard at them, from the mid- dle innings all the way to the end.” KLAMATH FALLS — The Astoria baseball team rode the “underdog” role all the way to the Final Four. But that’s where the trail ended for the Fighting Fish- ermen, as No. 1-seed Henley jumped out to an early lead and held on for a 5-2 win over No. 12-seed Astoria in a Class 4A semiinal at Rosser Field in Klamath Falls. A two-run homer by Hen- ley’s Kyle Sturgeon in the ifth inning helped the Hor- nets clinch a spot in Satur- day’s 4A state championship game against Estacada, which beat Banks 8-3 in the other semiinal. Henley also opened the scoring with the long ball, as Chase Fernlund belted a two- run homer in the irst inning off Astoria starter Tyler Lyngstad. Fernlund, also the Hor- nets’ starter on the mound, tossed ive innings of shutout ball, scattering six hits with six strikeouts for the win. The Fishermen inished with nine hits and drew six walks, but stranded 11 baserunners. Henley’s Darren Brown opened the bottom of the ifth with a triple, scoring Blake Loney, then Sturgeon’s home run made it 5-0. Astoria scored its two runs in the sixth, on an RBI double by Jasyn Gohl and a run-scor- ing hit by Kyle Strange. Fridtjof Fremstad, Olaf Englund and Strange all had two hits apiece for Astoria, which inishes 17-12 overall. No. 1-ranked Henley, 28-2 overall, had 11 hits off Lyngs- tad and Fremstad.
