what the Warriors were tuning up for Mon-

Warrenton’s summer 17U Junior Base-

The first game features Knappa vs.

is free for the tournament, with all games
at Tapiola. There is a two-hour time limit

In Monday’s league-counting opener

the bottom of the sixth, with the help of
four walks, two hit batters and Astoria Ford
hits by Teague Palmberg and a run-scoring
double from Connelly Fromwiller.
The Fishermen scored their last two
runs on bases-loaded walks, and had the
tying run at the plate when Warrenton
