Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Wednesday, April 13, 2016 BUCKAROOS: Pendleton hitters tee off TENNIS: HHS resilient in girls singles matches TOP: Mac- Hi’s Shan- non Carter throws the ball to first base as Pend- leton’s Feather Dick runs to second in the Bucks’ 10-0 win against the Pio- neers on Tuesday in Pendleton. Continued from 1B through the ¿rst two frames. But as Pendleton came back through the batting order in the third inning, things began to click. Alexis Morrison began the inning with a soft single up the middle and one pitch later was moved to second base on a sacri¿ce bunt by Lauren Richards. Following that, Ellie Richards stepped to the plate and on a 1-2 pitch crushed a double that rolled all the way to the fence in left ¿eld to score Morrison for the early 1-0 lead. Pendleton scored four more times in the inning with the help of a pair of RBI doubles from Peyton Hergert and Maddy Parker to grab a 5-0 advantage. All nine Buckaroo batters came to the plate in the inning, and Cary said he was happy to see the team settle down at the plate and ¿nd their groove. “We were a little impatient early in the game ... we were out in front a lot but we made our adjustments and were a little more patient and it paid off,” he said. In the fourth inning, Kalan McGlothan showed off her power as she crushed a belt-high fastball from Copeland over the center ¿elder’s head and off the fence to score a pair of runs and bump the Pendleton lead to 7-0. And in the ¿fth inning, the Buckaroos ¿nished it off with a two-RBI double off the bat of Ellie Richards and an RBI single up the middle from Hergert to bump the lead to 10-0 and end the game. It was a rough game for the Mac-Hi (11-3, 2-0 GOL) pitchers, as the usually-reliable Copeland allowed nine hits, seven runs, and two walks over four innings with six strikeouts, and Sydney Earls allowed three runs on three hits with two walks in her only inning of relief. It was a bit of revenge for the Buckaroos, as the Pioneers got the best of Pendleton twice during the 2015 season with 8-1 and 6-5 defeats. Pendleton’s Ellie Richards said that she was happy to get some of that revenge, but also to see the team come together against a really good team. “I think our team got the hits when we needed them,” said Rich- BOTTOM: Pendle- ton’s Ellie Richards slides into second base as Mac-Hi’s Shannon Carter grabs the throw from cen- ter field.

Continued from 1B dogs were going to be too much for the Buckaroos on this day. “We only lost one senior last year, so we’ve got a lot of experience that’s back,” said Hermiston coach Shann West. “I know Pendleton’s young this year, they’ve only got one senior, so that helps us.” “I’ve got ¿ve ¿rst-year players this year, so it’s a real learning experience,” said Pendleton coach Chris Holdman. “It’s a good experience for them to see this competition halfway through the season, so then they know what to expect when they get to districts and they see all the top schools from the Bend area.” The closest match of the day was at No. 2 singles where Aiden Prewitt needed a 10-4 win in a tiebreaker to beat Peter Wallace and complete the sweep. Overall, Hermiston outscored Pendleton in games 70-17. The only Buckaroo other than Wallace to win a game in each set was No. 1 singles player Henry Holdman. Jacob Snell defeated Holdman 6-1, 6-1, but it was a closer match than it looks on paper. “We both played well, (Snell) just beat me on a few extra deuce points,” Holdman said. “There was only three or four games we didn’t go to deuce. It was a good match.” It was Holdman’s ¿rst loss of the season, and Snell also has only one loss in No. 1 singles action. “I think my forehands were doing good and my backhands are getting better,” Snell said. “I wish I returned a little bit better and served a lot better. My serves weren’t as good as I think they should be right now. I need to get a little more consistent. I have too many double faults.” “He’s got a lot of skill and he puts in a lot of time,” West said of Snell. “It’s a realistic possibility for him to have a chance to go to state. If he’s put in the right position and he’s playing well, so that’s kind of our goal for him.” Hermiston’s next match is Thursday when it hosts Hood River at 4 p.m. Pendleton will be at The Dalles on Thursday at the same time. ——— Singles Jacob Snell (H) def.

The only matches to not end in straight sets were the bookend singles matches won by Katelyn Millard and Sidney Moore. Millard rallied from a 6-2 loss to Pendleton’s Jenna Senter to win 6-2, 6-4 in the No. 1 match. Moore bounced back from a 6-3 loss to beat Julia Livingston 6-3, 6-3. “They were really able to turn it around and improve their game to show that mental toughness is getting better for us,” said Herm- iston coach Jason Sivey. Hermiston’s doubles teams were especially dominant and outscored Pendleton 36-4 in games won. Hermiston will be on the road for its next match on Thursday at Hood River at 4 p.m. Pendleton will host The Dalles on Thursday at 4 p.m. at West Hills. ——— Singles Katelyn Millard (H) def.

PRESCOTT (WA) 9, RIVERSIDE 3 — At Boardman, Prescott scored four runs during a two-out rally in the second inning and led 8-0 before Riverside could get on the scoreboard in the ¿fth inning of their non-league game on Tuesday. Prescott starter Jacob Dunn left with a perfect game going after the fourth inning. He struck out 10 of the 12 batters he faced.

STANFIELD 11, TRI-CITIES PREP 3 — At Pasco, an eight-run outburst in the ¿nal two innings lifted the Tigers to a non-league win on Tuesday. Leading 3-2 with runners on the corners and one out in the top of the sixth, Stan¿eld (12-1) looked to get an insurance run with some small ball. Tri-Cities Prep committed an error on Adrian Renner’s bunt and Makiah Blankenship scored the eventual game-winner. Thyler Monkus then bunted his way on and Tony Flores followed with a two-RBI single. An error allowed another Stan¿eld run before the inning was up and Tri-Cities Prep would only get one of those runs back. Brody Woods started on the mound and struck out seven, walked three and allowed two runs on two hits in ¿ve complete innings. Flores pitched the sixth and allowed one run on one hit, and Ryan Bailey threw a scoreless seventh to close out the win. Monkus led the offense going 4 for 5 with one RBI and four runs. Flores (3 for 5) added two RBI and two runs, and Bailey (2 for 4) drove in three. Stan¿eld will return to league play on Friday when it hosts Elgin for a double- header that starts at 3 p.m. at Madigan Field. ——— R H E SHS 101 014 4 — 11 12 3 TCP 000 111 0 — 3 3 4 B. Woods, T.

Softball RIVERSIDE 13, WAITSBURG (WA) 7 — At Boardman, the Riverside Pirates halted a four-game losing streak with a non-league win against Waitsburg on Tuesday afternoon. Riverside (5-7, 2-4 EOL) cranked out 15 hits to get to the 13-run mark, powered by a pair of home runs from Skyler Wightman and Emily Kirby as well as a pair of doubles off the bat of Steph- anie Stokoe. Kirby also led the team with six RBI in the game. Masie Hancock and Sadie Hasbell each contrib- uted two hits apiece in the game as well.

Golf SUMMIT 331, PEND- LETON 366 — At Bend, a double bogey on the ¿nal hole cost Pendleton’s Haley Greb the title at the Awbrey Glen Tournament on Tuesday. Summit’s Olivie Loberg shot par on hole No. 18 and won by one stroke with a 76. Greb had four birdies in her round but Loberg had three birdies and an eagle on the par-4 No. 5 hole. Summit won the team title with 331 and Bend was second with 364. Pendleton was third with a 366 and Shelby Greb took ¿fth overall with an 84. Megan George (101), McKenna Pratt (104) and Rylee Harris (131) completed Pendleton’s scores. “It was a very hard course,” said Pendleton coach Terry Prouse. “There were very interesting holes and it’s kind of hard to know where to go if you hadn’t played it before.” Pendleton’s next round is Monday at Bend Country Club. Tennis MAC-HI 8, STAN- FIELD 1 — At Stan¿eld, the No. 1 girls doubles team of Yazzmin and Guitzell Chavez took Stan¿eld’s only victory on Tuesday as the Tigers hosted the Mac-Hi Pioneers.
