Lower Columbia wins three, loses one in Idaho The Astorian The Lower Columbia Baseball Club hit the road for the Fourth of July weekend, making a four games in four days appear- ance at the Cowboy Classic in Twin Falls, Idaho. And the team of stars from the lower Columbia River region came within half an inning of making it a clean sweep, fi nishing 3-1. Their only loss came Saturday night at Bill Ingram Field to the hosts from Twin Falls, when the Cowboys rallied with three runs in the bottom of the seventh and won 7-6 on a walkoff single. Before Saturday’s fi nal, Lower Columbia had won three in a row, running their season record to 10-1. Lower Columbia opened the tournament Thursday afternoon against a team from Taylorsville, Utah. And the two teams put on an offensive show, combining for 25 runs on 31 hits, with Lower Columbia scoring four runs in the top of the seventh for a 13-12 win. The players from Clatsop Country con- tributed heavily, with Warrenton’s Austin Little and Jake Morrow combining for fi ve hits and three runs scored. Down 10-6 entering the top of the fi fth, Lower Columbia scored twice when Asto- ria’s Dylan Rush walked with the bases loaded to force in a run, and Little scored on a wild pitch. Still trailing 12-9 going into the seventh, Lower Columbia rallied again when Mor- row singled to score Tanner Davis, of Kelso, followed moments later when Wahkiakum’s Ashden Niemeyer doubled to score Rush, Mitchell Bergquist and Morrow for the eventual game-winning runs. Rush took the mound in the bottom of the seventh and recorded the fi nal three outs. Lower Columbia’s leader at the plate was Niemeyer, who fi nished 4-for-4 with a dou- ble and seven RBI s. Lower Columbia drew seven walks and four batters were hit by pitch. On the mound, four Lower Columbia pitchers gave up 16 hits with just three strikeouts. Following Thursday’s win, Lower Columbia picked up where it left in a Friday afternoon game against the Reno A’s. Lower Columbia pounded out four runs on fi ve hits in the fi rst inning, on its way to a 5-4 win. Morrow and Little both had hits and scored runs in the fi rst inning rally, but Lower Columbia could manage only one run over the next fi ve innings. Meanwhile, Reno added a run in the sec- ond and scored two in the top of the seventh off Rush, who gave up four hits and a walk. With two outs and a 2-2 count on Reno’s Drew Scolari, a quarterback who has signed with the University of Nevada , Little relieved Rush on the mound and threw just one pitch to Scolari, a strike which ended the game. The A’s fi nished with 18 hits to Lower Columbia’s nine. Reed Elo of Mark Morris and Rees Hall of Kelso had four of the hits.
