Warrenton baseball rally beats Taft
The Astorian
The Taft Tigers came within
six outs of scoring a big win for
themselves Tuesday afternoon,
as they celebrated Senior Day on
their home fi eld.
But the Warrenton Warriors
managed to score two runs in the
top of the sixth, on their way to a
7-6 Coastal Range League base-
ball win over the Tigers.
“It wasn’t a pretty game,”
said Warrenton coach Lennie
Wolfe, whose team improved to
5-0 in league play. “We weren’t
as sharp, and we had to scratch
and claw for everything we got.”
Freshman Cam’Ron Daniels
played a big part in saving the
Warriors, making “four fantastic
catches” in left fi eld, Wolfe said.
Pitcher Dylon Atwood picked
up the win in relief, allowing
four hits, while Taft pitchers
gave up just two hits, but walked
12.
The Warriors host Willamina
Thursday, then host a double-
header Friday with Taft.
Loggers pound Nestucca

that was plenty for the Loggers,
who went on to a 12-1 win over
Nestucca in a Tuesday afternoon
Northwest League baseball game.
Through three innings, two
Nestucca pitchers walked 12 and
hit two batters, while Mark Miller
had Knappa’s lone hit.
Knappa pitcher Jaxon Diet-
richs started and allowed just two
hits with three strikeouts and no
walks through four innings.
Oregon Episcopal wins boys golf match
The Astorian
The top three 4A teams from
the 2019 state tournament,
along with the defending 3A
state champions, gathered for a
four-way event at Trysting Tree
Golf Club in Corvallis Tuesday.
The battle of state cham-
pions was won by defending
3A champion Oregon Episco-
pal, which shot 303 to top the
311 posted by defending 4A
champion Marist. Valley Cath-
olic, which fi nished third in
the 2019 state championship,
shot 339, while the state run-
ner-up team from Seaside fi n-
ished with a 417.
On the individual side,
which featured four return-
ing all-state players, defend-
ing 4A champion Nick Watts,
of Marist, shot 69 to win the
event. Watts returned late the
night before after playing in the
U.S. Open sectional qualifi er
at Gold Mountain Golf Club,
where Watts fi nished one stroke
away from earning a spot in the
regional qualifi er and a shot at
playing in the U.S. Open.
Following Watts were three
players from Oregon Episcopal:
Nic Nuliyal (72), Ethan Tseng
(74) and Benjamin Tieu (77).
Seaside’s Curtis Kunde
rounded out the top fi ve with a
78.
Also competing for the
Seagulls were Conner Langmo
(105), Riley Wunderlich (114),
Owen Higdon (115), Everest
Sibony (119) and Carter Perrigo
(123).
“This was a great event to
get Curtis playing with some
of the best players in the state,”
said Seaside coach Jim Poetsch.
“The other guys were not quite
ready for prime time, but it gave
them a good idea of where we
need to be by next year if we
expect to compete.”
