three-run shot to make it 3-0
in the second inning. Brehaut
capped Pendleton’s scoring
for a 7-0 lead in the fourth,
and pitched the entire game
with four strikeouts, two
walks and no earned runs
allowed on four hits.
Richards also finished
with no earned runs allowed
against Putnam (0-7), and
finished with two walks and
five hits allowed in a game
that was called after six
innings due to a time limit.
Like Brehaut, Richards
helped her own cause going 3
for 3 at the plate. Aspen Garton
drove in a pair of runs to boost
the win, and the Bucks (7-1)
got two hits each from Kalan
and Kirah McGlothan.

PILOT
ROCK
11,
KNAPPA 1 (5 innings) — At
Pilot Rock, facing a young
Loggers team, Pilot Rock
coach Darin Fitzpatrick was
able to get all 13 of his players
into the game after the Rockets
took a 5-0 lead in the first
inning and never struggled in
a non-league win on Monday.
Sara Weinke hit a double
and had three RBIs, and
Jacey Wilson and Rhyanne
Oates each had two RBIs.
Tehya Ostrom pitched the fist
four innings and drove in a
run to get the win, and struck
out six while walking none
and allowing no hits. Brielle
Howland gave up just one
hit and struck out two in two
innings of relief.
The Rockets (4-1) were
coming off a 13-2 win in
five innings over Enterprise
on Saturday in which
Howland, a freshman, tossed
a complete game allowing
only four hits. She got lots of
support as Weinke went 2 for
3 with a home run, Wilson (3
for 4) and Bekah Roe (2 for
3) added two runs and two
RBIs each, and Howland
went 2 for 3 with a double.
Earlier on Saturday, Pilot
Rock was up 18-2 in the second
inning against Weston-McEwen
when the game was called due
to rain. They plan to make up
that game later in the season,
but no date has been set.

CLATSKANIE
32,
UMATILLA 0 — At
Umatilla, the Tigers out-hit
the Vikings 21-2 for a
non-league win on Monday.
Charlene Alvarez and
Christy Macias made sure the
Vikings (1-5) weren’t no-hit,
and coach Kylee Lete said
Clatskanie (2-0) was simply a
much more skilled team than
her group of mostly second-
year players.
“They hit the ball well,
they had pretty good pitching
and they executed well on the
base paths,” she said of the
Tigers. “We know the things
we need to work on and a big
part of it is confidence. It’s
difficult because not only are
the girls trying to learn the
basics of the sport, they’re
trying to learn how to be
competitive in a game and
doing it at the same time.”
Clatskanie scored six
runs in the first and 10 in the
second to pull away early.

it’s a little disappointing,”
Hawkins said. “We work
on hitting the ball up the
middle every day, and in the
first game our first two guys
did it and then we never did
it again. We tried to do too
much, put too many balls
in the air, didn’t play good
defense and our pitchers
were behind constantly.
“I wish we had scored the
13 the first game, because
after the break you want to
be champing at the bit and it
didn’t happen today, but I’ll
take a split, especially with
how it ended.”
In Game 2, Hermiston got
a much better effort from its
pitchers as Brylee Dufloth
started and Wyatt Noland
finished it. Dufloth allowed
four hits, five runs (four
earned) and walked two in
four innings, while Noland
gave up one run and two hits
in three innings to get the win.
“The guys that threw
today, it’s their first time on
the bump this season and in
varsity baseball,” Hawkins
said of his pitchers. “Nerves
were there for everyone I
think and it was evident ...
but it’s about getting quality
starts, throwing strikes and
letting our defense play and
the second game we did a
better job of it.”
After having just one hit
through the first three innings
of Game 2, Hermiston got
the bats going in the fourth
inning. A two-out walk from
Cole Campbell and a hit-by-
pitch from Tolan allowed
Gritz to hit an RBI single
into left for the Dawgs’ first
run and then Kaden Caldwell
followed with a two-RBI
single into right field to cut
the lead to 5-3.
Mountain View added
one run in the top of the
fifth, and then Hermiston
got the run back in its half of
the fifth and added another
run in the sixth on a sacrifice
fly from Gritz to make it 6-5.
Then in the seventh,
Noland tied the game with
a RBI triple that he blasted
over the right fielder’s head to
bring in Kody Moss. Camp-
bell then was hit with a pitch

ton’s Kody Moss makes the tag Monday in Hermiston.
and after two consecutive
balls, Tolan was intentionally
walked and the rest is history.
“It says a lot about our kids
when you don’t play well the
first game, come out again
get down 5-0 and we just
chip away and keep going,”
Hawkins said. “I’m glad the
boys responded. It means a
lot as a coach because I put it
on them between games and I
told them this wasn’t Bulldog
baseball but they responded
and I’m pretty happy.”

Hermiston heads to
Keizer this weekend to take
part in the Volcanoe Spring
Break Tournament, and will

WALLA WALLA (WA)
11, PENDLETON 1 — At
Walla Walla, Washington,
the Pendleton Buckaroos
continued their early-season
struggles on the mound in an
11-1 loss to Walla Walla on
Saturday.
Pendleton (1-5) scored the
game’s first run in the third
inning, when Wyatt Morris
reached base on a walk,
stole second and then scored
on a fielding error by Walla
Walla’s first baseman to take
a 1-0 lead. The lead held
until the bottom of the fourth
when the wheels fell off for
the Bucks.
Austin Zaugg, who had

allowed just two hits and
one walk through the first
three, let the first two batters
reach in the fourth and then
gave up a two-RBI double
to put Walla Walla on top
2-1. Patrick Smith couldn’t
weather the storm, as Walla
Walla scored a total of eight
runs in the fourth and added
three more in the fifth to put
the 10-run rule into effect.
The Bucks registered just
three hits on the afternoon,
as Shaw Jerome and Jared
Beveridge each had a single
and Zaugg one double.

16-17,

WALLA WALLA (WA)
4-6 — At Walla Walla,
Washington, the Pendleton
Buckaroos split a double-
header with the Walla Walla
Blue Devils with Walla
Walla taking the first game
4-1 and Pendleton winning
the second 10-6 on Saturday
afternoon.
In Game 1, Pendleton
(5-1) couldn’t get any
offense going to support
pitcher Alexi Brehaut who
gave up six hits and four runs
with three strikeouts over six
innings. The Buckaroo bats
registered just two hits and
got its only run on an RBI
single by Maddie Parker in
the third inning.
But in Game 2, the Buck-
aroos offense showed up in
a big way as they registered
14 hits to put up their 10
runs. Pendleton had a few
big offensive contributors
including Aspen Garton (4
for 4, 3 doubles, RBI), Elli
Nirschl (3 for 4, 2 doubles,
2 RBI), and Brehaut (2 for
3, double, 3 RBI). They
supported pitcher Lauren
Richards, who struck out
12 batters and allowed four
earned runs, four walks and
eight hits in seven innings.
“I’m pleased with the way
the bats are starting to wake
up,” Pendleton coach Tim
Cary said, “and hopefully
we can keep it rolling into
our tournament at Putnam on
Monday.”

BANKS 4, MAC-HI
2 — At Yamhill, in a rematch
of the 2016 4A state cham-
pionship game the Banks
Braves again got the best of
the Mac-Hi, dropping the
Pioneers 4-2 on Saturday.
Banks took a 4-0 lead
into the sixth inning when
Mac-Hi (2-1) finally got
something going on offense.
Micha Fortune and Rachel
Lyon ripped back-to-back
one-out singles to get runners
on, and eventually Lyon and
Ashlyn Marly would come
around to score on an error
by Banks’ shortstop to cut it
to a 4-2 game.
But that was as close as
Mac-Hi could get, as the
Pioneers went down 1-2-3 in
the seventh.
Sydney Earls started in the
circle for Mac-Hi, giving up
nine hits and four runs (two
earned) with one strikeout
and one walk. Banks’
Michaela Shaw struck out 11
