Seaside — which was not even at full strength — knocked 40 strokes off its score from last year’s tournament to card a 359 team score. The Gulls finished ahead of the host Riverhawks (369) and third- place Pendleton (373), both 5A schools who placed in the top five in last year’s 5A state tournament. Seaside was led by brothers Jackson and Curtis Kunde, who fin- ished tied for fifth individually with a pair of 87s. “This is always a great test of golf,” said Seaside coach Jim Poetsch, whose program won 4A state titles in 2014 and 2015. “This course exposes your weaknesses, and while we were shown ours, we had less than the other teams today. “You look at the scores and think we might not have played our best, but we scored the same as Pendle- ton did last year and they earned a trophy at the 5A level last season.” The supporting scores for Sea- side came from Connor Merrell (88) and Mason Shamion (97). Mason Crawford (103) was Sea- side’s fifth player, as the Gulls were missing two-year letterman Sam- son Sibony. SEASIDE — The magic number was “3” for the Seaside softball team Friday afternoon. Hosting a nonleague game with Knappa at Broadway Field, the Lady Gulls scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth for a 3-1 win. Seaside’s No. 3, pitcher Jetta Ideue, struck out 13 batters and allowed just two hits in the win, helping the Gulls improve to 3-0 overall. Ideue struck out the side in the first, second and fourth innings, as Knappa batters were having trou- ble just making contact through five innings. Meanwhile, Knappa sopho- more pitcher Madelynn Weaver was equally strong. Gary Henley/The Daily Astorian Knappa’s Jaden Miethe (4), tags Seaside’s Kandice Flaigg on an at- tempted steal early in Friday’s game. Weaver scattered a few hits, but she also kept the Gulls scoreless through five innings. All the action was in the sixth. In the top of the inning, Seaside center fielder Alyssa Goin made a diving catch off a line drive by Weaver. Moments later, Kaitlyn Truax was hit by a pitch, and took third on a passed ball. With two outs, a grounder by Mikayla Rethati was fielded cleanly, but an errant throw to first allowed Truax to score the game’s first run. In the bottom of the sixth, Weaver walked the bases full with no outs. She retired the next two bat- ters without giving up a run, but the Gulls finally broke through, with two runners, Viola Soprano and Gracie Rhodes, scoring on an infield base hit by Goin. A line drive base hit by freshman Kandice Flaigg brought in Sidney Owsley, and Ideue struck out two of the three batters she faced in the seventh. Knappa remains unbeaten, unchallenged The Daily Astorian KEIZER — The Knappa Log- gers continued to pound the opposi- tion over the weekend, in their home away from home. The Loggers are taking part in the Volcano Stadium Tournament, which began Friday and ends today in Keizer. Knappa played Elmira on the first day, and led the Falcons 8-0 in the bottom of the first before the rain hit. The game was postponed and is scheduled to be made up today at Vol- canoes Stadium. Catlin Gabel and Knappa man- aged to play a complete game Satur- day, with the Loggers scoring an easy 16-1, five-inning win over the Class 3A Eagles. Knappa scored six runs in the first inning, then tacked on three in second and three in the third, and ended the contest with three in the fifth. Kaleb Miller, Mason Hoover and Colton Weirup combined on a one-hitter, with Miller striking out five. Weirup struck out the side in his pitching debut. Weirup was also 3-for-4 at the plate, drove in four runs, and had two doubles and two stolen bases. Eli Takalo was 3-for-3 and Ryker Coffey was 2-for-3 with four RBIs. Knappa wrapped up the week- end with another five-inning con- test, an 11-1 decision over Western Mennonite. The Loggers held a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the fourth, when they scored four runs. They added five in the fifth. Hoover was 2-for-3 with four RBIs and a triple and Miller scored three runs. Dale Takalo pitched all five innings, allowing four hits. The Loggers are 5-0, and have outscored their opponents 61-4 in their five games, none of which has gone past five innings.
