Januik MVP of All-Star series
The Daily Astorian
The Seaside Gulls were
well-represented over the week-
end in the annual Oregon Athletic
Coaches Association’s All-Star
basketball series in Eugene and
Wilsonville.
Seaside’s Bill Westerholm served
as one of three coaches for the North
All-Stars, which finished 2-0 and won
the series final over the South All-
Stars, 114-87.
The 45th annual All-Star series
featured the top small-school
(2A/3A/4A) seniors from around the
state.
Three of Westerholm’s for-
mer players were on the North ros-
ter, Attikin Babb, Jackson Januik
and Hunter Thompson. And not
surprisingly, Januik was named
Player of the Series, with 13 points
and six assists in the final.
The
North
team
also
included Valley Catholic seniors
Colin
Hagerty
and
Daniel
Hardy, while Dayton’s Ron Hop
and Vernonia’s David Weller joined
Westerholm on the North coaching
staff.
The North All-Stars defeated
the East All-Stars in Game 1
Friday at Northwest Christian
College in Eugene. The North
followed up with the win over the
South Saturday at Wilsonville High
School.
Seaside was also represented in
the girls’ All-Star basketball series,
which included former Gulls Maddi
Utti and Sydney Villegas on the North
team, along with Knappa’s Kaitlyn
Landwehr.
The North All-Stars split their
series.

GULLS TOP WARRIORS
Seaside wins Game 1, 9-3; darkness stops Game 2
The Daily Astorian
WARRENTON — Two Seaside pitch-
ers combined on a three-hitter in Game 1,
and a lengthy Game 2 was tied 3-3 when
it was called because of darkness Monday
night, as Warrenton hosted a Junior Baseball
doubleheader with the Gulls at Huddleston
Field.
Seaside won the only game that had a
winner, 9-3, as Duncan Thompson and Gage
McFadden teamed up on the mound for the
Gulls’ second straight win over Warrenton
this summer.
Thompson started and pitched five solid
innings, allowing three hits with three strike-
outs and two walks.
McFadden was impressive as well, as the
junior-to-be retired all six batters he faced,
the last five by strikeout.
The Gulls jumped out to an early lead,
scoring four runs in the top of the first.
McFadden drew a leadoff walk and scored
on a three-base error, when the Warriors mis-
handled a fly ball by Alex Teubner.
Teubner scored moments later on a
grounder by Thompson, and after another
error in the outfield, Dawson Blanchard
sprinted home on a passed ball and Pay-
ton Westerholm scored on a ground ball by
Chase Januik for the four-run lead.
Seaside tacked on a run in the third, as
Blanchard singled to right and scored on the
third of five Warrenton errors.
Dalton Knight had the first hit for the
Warriors in the bottom of the fourth, and
took third on an errant pickoff throw.
Knight scored on a ground-out by Gabe
Breitmeyer, which was followed by a single
to center from Austin Little, who scored on
Gage Threet’s base hit to right.
Seaside answered with two runs in the top
of the fifth. Following a walk to Blanchard
and a fielder’s choice, Isaias Jantes had the
highlight hit of the day for the Gulls, a two-
run triple to the right field fence.
Jacob Derby capped the Seaside scoring
with a single in the seventh that brought in
Paxson VanNortwich.
COLLEGE
WORLD SERIES
OMAHA, Neb. — The domi-
nance Oregon State has shown all
season was on full display Mon-
day night.
Bryce Fehmel limited LSU to
two hits in eight innings, KJ Har-
rison hit the first College World
Series grand slam at TD Ameri-
trade Park, and Oregon State beat
the Tigers 13-1 for its 23rd straight
win.
The Beavers (56-4), who
matched the school-record win
streak they set earlier this season,
took control of Bracket 1. They
don’t play again until Friday, and
need one more win to advance to
next week’s best-of-three finals.
“We just talked before the
game about this is our time, this
is our opportu-
nity,” Ore-
gon State
coach Pat
Casey said.
“This is what
we came here for. Let’s not miss
that moment. So the guys played
great.”
The matchup between the
teams with the two longest active
win streaks in the country was one
of the most anticipated at the CWS
in years. It turned out to be a dud.
The 12-run margin tied the largest
in a CWS game in the seven years
it’s been played at TD Ameritrade.
LSU (49-18) had its 17-game
win streak end with its most lop-
sided loss in Omaha since a 20-6
rout by Cal State Fullerton in 1994.
“It wasn’t what we expected
or hoped for, obviously,” Tigers
coach Paul Mainieri said. “Heck
of a way for a 17-game winning
streak to end. Right from the start
things didn’t go well for us.”
Starter Eric Walker (8-2) left
the game after throwing four
pitches in the third inning because
of forearm tightness. Caleb Gilbert
held the Beavers for a couple of
innings, but they capitalized on a
couple of LSU misplays to go up
3-0 in the fifth.
“They’re definitely a scrappy
offense,” Gilbert said. “I thought
I was making some good pitches.
They would just foul it off, and
I’d have to go right back at it, do
it again. Just couldn’t get that put-
away when it was crunch time.”
Oregon State broke the game
open in the sixth.
Harrison hammered Hunter
Newman’s first pitch to him over
the left-center fence for the first
CWS grand slam since 2010, the
last year the event was played at
Rosenblatt Stadium.
Harrison broke into a wide
smile as he watched the ball fly
out, his trot turned into a run and
he whooped and pounded his chest
as he approached teammates wait-
ing at home plate. Harrison has
four home runs and 14 RBIs in
seven NCAA Tournament games.
“That’s the stuff you dream of
doing,” Harrison said, “and for it
to come true on such a big stage is
an amazing feeling.”
