SPORTS Tillamook undefeated in three-day tourney The Astorian The fi nal weekend of baseball for the local 17-and-under teams came to a close Sunday at Tap- iola Park, with the last three games of a three-day, nine-game round-robin tournament. The tournament was originally planned as a sev- en-team bracket tourna- ment, before Clatskanie canceled its appearance right before the start of Fri- day’s games. Instead, Astoria Ford was the host for a nine- game round-robin event, with Ilwaco, Knappa, Seaside, Tillamook and Warrenton. Tillamook fi nished with a perfect 3-0 record, as the Cheesemakers scored victories over Warrenton (4-1), Astoria (a 10-run victory) and Seaside (13- 4), while Ilwaco and War- renton each fi nished 2-1, followed by the Gulls (1-2) and Astoria (0-3). Seaside topped the sev- en-team district with an 11-1 regular season record, but came up short against Ilwaco on Friday, and lost a 13-4 decision to Tillamook in Sunday’s fi nale. Ilwaco capped a suc- cessful tournament with an 11-10 victory Sunday over Knappa. After outhitting Sea- side 14-4 in Friday’s win, Ilwaco scored six runs in the second inning against Knappa in Sunday’s game, for an early six-run lead. The Fishermen were saved by the bell, as the Loggers rallied from an early 8-2 defi cit, scoring three runs in the fi fth and two in the sixth before the game was stopped due to a time limit. Knappa almost certainly would have added more runs in the seventh, if the Loggers had had the chance. “I am sure we would OREGON CAPITAL have, but that’s O K ,” said Knappa coach Jeff Miller. “We got 19 players into the game and enjoyed the great weather all week- end. Good, fun, competi- tive games all summer. We view summer as strictly developmental.” In Warrenton’s 13-3 vic- tory over Astoria Ford, Warrior pitching outlasted Astoria’s in a contest that featured 12 walks. Warrenton’s Wyatt Bond had a key two-run single in the second inning, Cam’Ron Daniels had a two-run hit to right in the third, and eighth grad- er-to-be R.J. Thornton had a run-scoring single in a fi fth inning rally for the Warriors, who were miss- ing brothers Talon and Tyson McGrorty from the lineup.
