Pioneers top Knappa
in baseball playoff
The Astorian
The Western Chris-
tian baseball team did
what very few teams
have done over the last
10 years — the Pioneers
won a post-season base-
ball game at Knappa.
The Loggers helped,
committing errors and
leaving runners on base,
but Western Christian
pitchers Darrin Campbell
and Milanno Camarena
did what they needed to in
a 9-2 win for the Pioneers.
Knappa still has at
least one game remaining,
in the double elimination
tournament.
Knappa had seven
hits, but not enough play-
ers crossed the plate. The
Loggers left the bases
loaded in each of the fi rst
two innings and stranded
12 runners in all. Knappa
committed six errors in
the fi eld.
Meanwhile,
West-
ern Christian jumped out
to a 4-0 lead after a half
inning, as Jordan Tram-
mell highlighted the fi rst
inning with a two-run
single.
Knappa’s only runs
came in the fourth inning,
with an RBI single by
Tanner Jackson and a
bases loaded walk to
Drew Miller.
Campbell pitched four
innings and Camarena
worked the fi nal three,
combining to strike out 11
batters with seven walks.
Kutter Ball had a lead-
off triple for Knappa in
the bottom of the seventh,
but was left at third when
Camarena struck out the
next three hitters.
The future still looks
bright for the Northwest
League champion Log-
gers, who were 15-0 in
the regular season and
lose just one senior.

PREP SPORTS SCHEDULE
Joseph and Warrenton
battled back and forth for
eight innings Tuesday after-
noon, with the Eagles fi n-
ishing one run up, as Joseph
defeated the Warriors 9-8
in a fi rst round game of the
3A baseball season-ending
tournament.
The Warriors served
as the home team and had
their fair share of fans, but
the game was played at
Bob Williams Field in The
Dalles.
The two teams exchanged
leads four times over the
fi rst fi ve innings, with the
Eagles holding leads of 3-1,
6-4 and 8-7, while Warren-
ton battled back each time
and led 4-3 and 7-6, and tied

the game 8-8 in the bottom
of the seventh.
With two outs, Joseph
misplayed a fl y ball by Ryan
Hoaglund, and some further
confusion on the same play
allowed Nathan Streibeck
to score from third with the
game-tying run.
In the top of the eighth,
the Eagles’ Trace Evans
reached on a dropped ball-
third strike, then stole sec-
ond and third.
Joseph’s Chase Homan
laid down a perfect squeeze
bunt to score Evans with
the eventual game-win-
ner, as the Eagles executed
squeeze bunts to score four
of their runs, including two
straight successful bunts in
the fourth inning.
“It was back and forth the
whole way, and obviously
we’re disappointed that we
came up short,” said War-
renton coach Lennie Wolfe.
“We have to feel good about
the season. We won a league
championship, and we were
lucky just to be playing.
“I’m proud of our two
seniors (Duane Falls and
Hoagland), and we have a
lot to feel good about com-
ing back next year.”
Falls was 4-for-4 with a
walk, while Joseph pitchers
Evans and Flynn Nave scat-
tered eight hits.
In other 3A tournament
action, No. 1 seed Brook-
ings-Harbor defeated Scio
2-1, Rainier beat Santiam
Christian 2-0 and Yam-
hill-Carlton topped La Pine
4-2.

ton boys fi nished ninth in
the team scoring, while the
Sutherlin girls and Catlin

Astoria boys track counting on big points
The Astorian
Despite the shortened sea-
son, the Seaside track team
managed to host three meets
on its new track this spring,
including the latest, the inau-
gural (O! the Joy!) “Ocean
in View,” meet, held last
Saturday.
It was an informal meet
with Astoria, and not all
events were held.
Meanwhile, after three
state championships in girls
track from 2015 to 2017, the
Astoria boys track team may
be on the verge of a dynasty
of its own.
With potential state cham-
pions in several events, the
Astoria boys will be rack-
ing up big points and are
expected to be one of the
team favorites in the culmi-
nating state meet later this
week.
The fi nal event for 4A
track will be a two-day
event, Friday and Saturday at
Siuslaw High School.
The Fishermen proved
their worth with a Cowapa
League championship last
week, as Astoria piled on
more personal bests in a dual
meet with Valley Catholic.
The Astoria boys will
have entries in 13 of 17
events at the state meet, with
top-seeded marks in two.
Astoria junior thrower
Colton McMaster is the clear
favorite in the discus and shot
put, and could score another
possible title in the javelin.
And with two league titles in
the sprints, senior T.J. Colvin
will be one of the favorites in
the 100 and 200 meters.
Sophomore John Clement
is a rising star in the distance
races and has qualifi ed in the
800 and 3,000 meters; senior
jumper Presley Beck is the
third-seed triple jumper; and
both Astoria relays have also
qualifi ed.
For the Astoria girls,
Maddie Sisley qualifi ed in
three events (100-meter hur-
dles, long jump and triple
jump), and is ranked top four
in both jumping events.
should they be filled if
they are just going to fall
out in a few years?

Ilwaco, Astoria open girls basketball season
The Astorian
Two basketball teams
hoping to challenge for
state titles at their respec-
tive levels met on the court
Monday night at the Brick
House, where Astoria
hosted Ilwaco in a battle of
the Lady Fishermen.
It was the season opener
for the Oregon School
Activities
Association’s
fi nal season of sports this
school year.
Ilwaco — always a pow-
erhouse at the Washington
state 2B level — showed
what an additional three
weeks of practice will do,
as the visiting Lady Fish-
ermen scored a 55-31 win
over the home Fishermen,
playing their fi rst game of
the season.
Astoria had several play-
ers fresh off spring sports
who had less than a week
of practice.
And it showed, as Ilwaco
jumped out to a 17-1 lead.
Ilwaco hit fi ve 3-point shots
in the fi rst half and two
more in the opening min-
utes of the third quarter, as
the lead reached 45-22.
Ilwaco’s Erika Glenn
led all scorers with 18
points, with teammate
Olivia McKinstry add-
ing 11. Kelsey Fausett
scored 10 points for Asto-
ria, which plays Thursday
at Warrenton.

Children’s teeth are very important
to the health of the child and
the development of the dental jaw, and
forming permanent teeth. Baby teeth
not only give the child chewing function
and cute esthetics, but also serve an
important role in the formation of the
jaw. Premature loss of primary teeth can
adversely affect the jaw growth, position
and timing of the eruption of permanent
teeth, and if badly decayed or infected,
be a source of pain, sickness, and risk
to other teeth. Please have your dentist
evaluate your child’s “baby teeth.”
