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

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.”
