Newspaper Page TextA7 THE ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, MAY 7, 2019 Road Warriors of Warrenton win two at Clatskanie tied 3-3 through four innings of Game 2, before the Warriors put the game away with 12 runs in the top of the ﬁ fth. Clatskanie had a com- plete meltdown in the inning, committing six of their nine errors. The Tigers ﬁ nished the day with 17 errors. Warrenton’s defense had a much better day, committing just three errors. Offensively, “We were very aggressive at the plate, and did the job that we needed to” in Game 1, said Warrenton coach Lennie Wolfe. “And we were using every offen- sive gimmick in our bag to score runs. We had 10 steals. It was just ‘get ‘em on, move ‘em over and get ‘em in.’ “All the pitchers were having trouble with the hill (a high mound on Clatskanie’s ﬁ eld),” he said. “They were swing- ing the bats well (the Tigers outhit Warrenton 10-7 in Game 1), but we made some plays in the ﬁ eld that were absolutely huge. Alec Herrera and Devin Jackson at ﬁ rst base both made some really nice catches.” Little (3-0) was the winning pitcher in the opener, in relief of Dalton Knight, while Gabe Bre- itmeyer (2-0) got the vic- tory in Game 2, in relief of Jackson. By GARY HENLEY The Astorian Melissa Linder-Cho Astoria’s Balan Kolee gets ahold of a Banks pitch in Friday’s game at Tapiola Park. Banks still perfect after win over Astoria The Astorian A few hours after Asto- ria celebrated Senior Night, the (ofﬁ cial) league cham- pion Banks Braves cele- brated a 10-4 win over the Fishermen, keeping their Cowapa League record a spotless 10-0. The Fishermen fall to 5-5, just a half-game ahead of Valley Catholic (4-5). Friday’s contest at Tapi- ola Park was tied 2-2 after one inning, but the Braves did not waste any time re-taking the lead in the second. Tyler Lilly reached base on an error and took sec- ond on a sacriﬁ ce bunt, and the Braves followed with a run-scoring dou- ble by Hayden Vandehey, with additional run-scoring hits from Jarred Evans and Colten Hesselman, before the Fishermen ended the inning with a double play. The Braves added another three runs in the third inning, and led 9-2 when the Fishermen scored twice in the ﬁ fth inning, highlighted by a Ryan Stutznegger double. Blake Gobel pitched six innings to pick up the win for the Braves, while three Astoria pitchers (Will Reed, Calvin Kaul, Burke Matthews) gave up 10 hits with seven strikeouts and four walks. Stutznegger had two of Astoria’s seven hits, while Hesselman had two doubles and Gobel belted a home run for the Braves. NBA PLAYOFFS Game 5 awaits for Blazers, Nuggets Associated Press Denver and Toronto started this second round of the playoffs feeling great about their chances. And then things went bad. And then they bounced back. So now, going into a pair of big-time swing games tonight — Denver plays host to Portland, Toronto plays host to Philadelphia — the Nuggets and Raptors can either take a ﬁ rm grip on their respective series or get themselves into pits of trouble that would be even deeper than the ones they were in a couple of days ago. Game 5s await. Blaz- ers-Nuggets, tied 2-2. 76ers-Raptors, tied 2-2. Toronto and Denver both reclaimed home-court advantage with series-tying road wins on Sunday, and the task now is to keep that momentum going with very high stakes. Sunday’s situation was dire for Denver and Toronto: A loss would have meant a 3-1 series deﬁ cit, which is almost always a precursor to elimination. Denver has gotten help from a perhaps surprising source. Will Barton sud- denly isn’t an offensive lia- bility anymore. Booed at home while going 1 for 10 from the ﬂ oor against San Antonio There’s nothing like doubleheader sweeps on the road, and members of the Warrenton base- ball team are becoming true “Road Warriors,” fol- lowing their third twinbill sweep away from home Friday. With an 8-7, 15-5 sweep at Clatskanie, the Warriors also took one big step closer to a Coastal Range League title. Warrenton improves to 10-1 in league, still two games ahead of Rain- ier (8-3), with Taft third at 8-4. The No. 5-ranked Warriors have two more big contests on the road Tuesday at Rainier. It took nine innings to win Friday’s opener, but only ﬁ ve innings to win Game 2. Warrenton had seven hits in Game 1, while eight Clatskanie errors helped the Warriors to the eventual nine-inning victory. With two outs and no runners on base in the top of the ninth, Warren- ton’s Kale’o Kapua drew a walk, stole second and third, and scored on an error for the eventual win- ning run. Warrenton pitcher Aus- tin Little retired the Tigers in order in the bottom of the ninth. The two teams were Valiants win at Seaside, 10-4 Valley Catholic led from start to ﬁ nish in a Cowapa League baseball game Friday at Broadway Field, where the Valiants scored a 10-4 win over Seaside. Valiant pitchers George Eisenhardt and James Baglai gave up seven hits, with 10 strikeouts and two walks.

All 22 of his points in the Nuggets’ 140-137 qua- druple-overtime Game 3 loss came after the third quarter. And Barton had two crucial 3-pointers in the fourth quarter of Denver’s 116-112 win in Game 4. TRAIL BLAZERS AT NUGGETS Series tied 2-2. Game 5, 7:30 p.m., TNT. NEED TO KNOW: Could this series be more even? No, probably not. Total points, Denver leads 464-462. Field goals, Den- ver leads 169-168. Both SEVEN؏DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TODAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY teams have exactly 44 3-pointers. Both teams have exactly 82 free throws made. INJURY WATCH: Port- land center Enes Kanter bat- tled through 29 minutes of Game 4 with his ongoing shoulder problem. KEEP AN EYE ON: Portland’s starters. Blaz- ers reserves like Seth Curry, Rodney Hood and Zach Col- lins were great in Game 4, but the starting ﬁ ve couldn’t generate any real sustained success. PRESSURE IS ON: Denver. Yes, the Nuggets went through a seven-game grind in Round 1. But the Blazers won’t rattle easily and know they can win on the road.
