Thrilling night at Aiken Field
Bruce Rochat Berney
ond with no outs, and Sven
Johnson wasted no time in
ending it, with a line drive
to center scoring Moore with
the walk-off, game-winning
run.
“It took us six innings to
wake up, but the boys never
gave up,” said Astoria Ford
coach Tyler Lyngstad. “I am
extremely proud of the effort
today.”
The Astorian
The most exciting game
of the summer had the cars
at Ernie Aiken Field honking
Thursday night, when Astoria
Ford rallied from a 7-2 defi -
cit to start the bottom of the
seventh inning for an 8-7 win
over Warrenton.
Neah-Kah-Nie followed
with a 14-5 win over the War-
riors in the second game, and
the Fishermen scored a 9-8
victory over Knappa to cap
the Junior State baseball tri-
ple header.
The Astoria Ford crowd
was silent for the fi rst six
innings of the opener, as War-
renton pitchers Duane Falls
and Dylon Atwood allowed
just two hits over Astoria’s
fi rst six at-bats.
Meanwhile, the Warrior
bats were also kept silent by
Astoria Ford pitcher Mike
Moore.
After Warrenton scored
four runs in the top of the
fi rst inning — highlighted by
back-to-back RBI doubles by
Falls and Atwood — Moore
took the mound in the sec-
ond inning, and retired nine
straight over three innings.
The Warriors tacked on
two runs in the fi fth, as Talon
McGrorty was hit by a pitch,
then eventually scored on a
wild pitch.
Josh Earls drew a walk,
advanced to third on a sin-
gle by Ryan Hoagland then
scored on an errant throw.
Pirates 14, Warriors 5

Warrenton’s catcher Duane Falls
looks for another play after
getting an out at home plate.
Falls pitched fi ve innings
for Warrenton, struck out
eight and walked fi ve, and
also picked two runners off
fi rst base.
Trailing 7-2, the Astoria
Ford bats fi nally heated up in
the bottom of the seventh.
Aiden Giles led off with a
single to right, Dylan Carlson
was hit by a pitch, Tony Tum-
barello singled to right and
Gunnar Olson drew a bas-
es-loaded walk to force in the
fi rst run.
After a pitching change,
Karson Hawkins doubled to
the fence in right fi eld, bring-
ing in two more runs.
Moore had a ground rule
double to deep left center to
score Olson and Hawkins,
tying the game at 7-7.
Bo Williams drew a walk
to put runners at fi rst and sec-
Warrenton had to turn
right around and play one of
the hottest teams in the region
this summer, the Neah-Kah-
Nie Pirates.
With previous wins this
summer over Astoria Ford
and Knappa (including a 13-0
victory over Astoria Ford two
days earlier, and a 7-0 win
over Knappa), the Pirates
built an 8-2 lead over War-
renton after four innings, then
ended the game with six runs
in the fi fth (plus the two-hour
time limit) for a 14-5 win.
Neah-Kah-Nie pitchers
Keygan Wagner and Eddie
Loza limited the Warriors to
six hits, with four strikeouts
and four walks.
Falls had three of Warren-
ton’s six hits, with a double.
The Warriors entered
the day with just 10 play-
ers, including two incoming
eighth graders, and fi nished
their second game with nine,
when outfi elder Hordie Bod-
den Bodden left with a slight
injury.
“Our youth really showed
today,” said Warrenton coach
Lennie Wolfe. “It was the
fi rst time our young pitchers
had an off-day, and we didn’t
exactly help ourselves in the
fi eld (with eight errors in the
loss to Neah-Kah-Nie). But
we just lost a doubleheader,
and even with the youth we
have, we’re still 7-3 for the
summer, so I can’t really
complain.”
Warrenton is scheduled to
play additional games Mon-
day and Wednesday at Aiken
Field.
Fishermen 9, Loggers 8
Astoria Ford had to rally
again in the nightcap against
Knappa, ultimately a 9-8 win
for the Fishermen.
Down 3-0 early, Astoria
tied the game in the fourth,
only to have the Loggers
score three more runs in the
fi fth for a 6-3 advantage.
The Fishermen fi nally
scored all the runs they would
need with a six-run sixth
inning.
A bases-loaded double by
Gunnar Olson tied the game
at 6-6 and Tony Tumbarello
brought in two more runs
with a single.
Trailing 9-6 entering the
seventh, the Loggers staged
a rally of their own, scoring
twice and putting the tying
run at third base, before Bo
Williams retired the fi nal bat-
ter on a ground ball to pre-
serve the win.
Seaside’s Kawasoe scores big victory in Portland
By GARY HENLEY
The Astorian
The weather was hot, but
Seaside’s Carson Kawasoe
was hotter on the golf course
earlier this week.
A junior-to-be and three-
sport athlete with the Gulls ,
Kawasoe scored a major win
in his best sport, when he
won the annual Bob Allard
Memorial Golf Classic, Mon-
day and Tuesday at Rose City
Golf Course in Portland.
Competing in the age
14-18 boys open division,
Kawasoe shot a four-un-
der par 140 to win by just
one stroke over Cole Rueck,
who shot a three-under par in
Tuesday’s fi nal round. There
were 60 golfers in the divi-
sion, with top age group golf-
ers from around the state.
Kawasoe shot a 74 in
Monday’s fi rst round, high-
lighted by an eagle on the
10th hole.
But it was Rueck who was
atop the leaderboard after
the fi rst round with a 70, fol-
lowed by Nicholas Nautiyal
(71), two golfers with a 72,
and two others at 73.
So Kawasoe had his work
cut out for him in Tuesday’s
second round.
“I was tied for seventh, but
I told the guys in my group,
‘you know guys, I’m just
going to go win it.’ And I kept
it going.”
And Kawasoe answered
the challenge by scorching
the course in Round 2, with

Allard Memorial tournament
in Portland earlier this week.
birdies on three of the fi rst
fi ve holes. Kawasoe birdied
No. 8 and fi nished the front
nine with a 32. He recorded
his second eagle on the 11th
hole, on his way to a 34 on
the back nine, for a six-under
par 66.
Kawasoe said Rueck
“played really solid. He
bogeyed (holes) three, six and
nine. I had one bogey on the
day and the putter got pretty
hot on the front.”
Still, Kawasoe was not
following the leaderboard
very closely.
“I actually wasn’t,” he
said. “Two of the kids I was
playing with knew one of the
dads in the last group, and we
passed each other when I was
on 18, and they were on 16. I
had a two-shot lead with fi ve

to play, and everyone seemed
to know except for me.
“Right after I tapped in on
18, they said, ‘I think you just
won it.’”
Kawasoe knew most of
the other golfers in the tourna-
ment. Rueck will be a junior
at 5A Corvallis this year.
“They were mostly from
Portland and Vancouver,”
he said. “Everyone congrat-
ulated me, and they were all
really cool about it.
“It was defi nitely the big-
gest win I’ve had,” he added.
“I got myself over the hump.
I started pretty slow this sum-
mer, just trying to get back
in the groove. After the fi rst
round, I told my dad (Astoria
Golf & Country Club golf pro
John Kawasoe), ‘I think that
might have got me over the
hump.’”
As for the Gulls, Seaside
will be one of the favorites
to win a 4A state title next
spring — or whenever high
school boys golf returns to
the course. The Gulls would
have been one of the favorites
last spring, with all of their
golfers returning this year.
“It was a bummer to have
it canceled, but I was glad to
have some tournaments this
summer,” Kawasoe said.
“Luckily I’m young, so I get
a couple more seasons. Cur-
tis (Kunde) will be our only
senior this year.”
The champion from each
division of the Allard Memo-
rial will receive an invitation
to the Tournament of Major

I saw the highest standard of health safety practices in effect
during my hygienist appointment today—much higher precau-
tions than I’d seen in a local hospital when having tests last
month. The new sanitation equipment and attention to patient
safety at Klemp Family Dentistry is in keeping with a dental
practice I consider cutting edge with respect to all my dental
needs. It’s wonderful having a world class dental practice here
at the coast, one where I can have procedures performed for
which I used to have to travel to a specialist in Portland. I have
been a patient of several local dentists in the past, but none
had the skill and, more importantly, the attention to patient
comfort that Dr Klemp provides.
