Hodgen Distributing
drops Wood Bat
Battle opener
By BRETT KANE
East Oregonian
LA GRANDE — Pend-
leton’s 17U Hodgen Distrib-
uting summer baseball team
faced two rounds of tough
competition in day one of
the Legacy Legends’ Wood
Bat Battle.
Pendleton opened the
weekend-long tournament
Thursday with an 8-3 loss
to Baker before the host La
Grande Legacy Legends
shut them out in the night-
cap, 6-0.
Baker jumped out to a
1-0 lead early in the top of
the first inning, but Pend-
leton answered back with
three runs in the following
inning for its first and only
advantage of the day.
Jordan DeGeer got
things started, sending a 2-0
pitch deep into center field,
allowing Logan Weinke to
cross home and put Pendle-
ton on the board. Nic She-
ley quickly stole home for
another run, and Tucker
Zander followed with a sin-
gle that scored DeGeer.
Baker knotted the score
in the top of the third with
the help of Spencer Shirt-
cliff and Justin Miller. Shirt-
cliff grounded into a field-
er’s choice that got Mason
Van Arsdall out at second,
but allowed Sam McCauley
to score. Miller took advan-
tage of a Pendleton error at
second base. The comeback
tied the game at 3-3.
Baker buried Pendleton
with three runs in the fifth
and two more in the seventh.
Pendleton never managed
another run.
McCauley, who pitched
Baker’s entire game, fanned
16 Hodgen Distributing
batters.
On Pendleton’s mound,
Zander finished with a sev-
en-inning, eight-strikeout
game. DeGeer went 1-for-1
at the plate, and scored a
run with an RBI to lead
Pendleton.
It only took La Grande
two big innings to take
down Hodgen Distributing
in the day’s final contest.
In the bottom of the first,
Nick Bornstedt doubled on a
fly ball to left field, driving
in an RBI. Justin Comfort
followed with a single that
scored Bornstedt and Wyatt
Earp.
It would have been
enough to keep Pendle-
ton down for the count, but
the Legacy Legends posted
another three-run inning in
the bottom of the fourth.
Daniel Rogers notched La
Grande’s final RBI-single,
and he and Justin Frederick
both scored on wild pitches
to finalize the game at 6-0.

Racing: Events every other weekend, all summer long
Continued from Page B1
“It’s going to be a good
show,” Walden said. “It’ll be
a night of close, competitive
racing. The cars are light
and fast, and can maneuver
the course really quick.”
Walden spent Friday
afternoon directing incom-
ing competitors and super-
vising their practice rounds
on the track.
Everett,
Washington,
resident Thomas Richard-
son made the four-hour
drive to Hermiston for his
debut on the local raceway.
He came with two trailers
to unload — one carrying
a homemade WMRA car,
and another with his custom
Sprint, built with a Triple X
frame and a Chevy engine.
“Sprint cars are fast,”
said Richardson, who has
been racing for four years.
“They have twice the
power, but weigh only a few
hundred pounds more (than
WMRA cars). (WMRA
cars) take more technique
and finesse. They have no
downforce. “
The Hermiston Raceway
runs pavement-pounding
events every other week-
end, all summer long. Sat-
urday’s lineup is but the
latest in a full calendar of
racing entertainment.
“We’re seeing growth
in every car and spectator
count,” Walden said of the
ongoing season. “Compared
to every other track (in the
region), we’re growing a lot.
We’re seeing stronger num-
bers in our field than any
other track in the area.”
Fans can expect an eve-
ning of nonstop action.
Approximately 16 Sprint
cars, nine WMRA cars, 11
late models, 12 legends, and
many more will hit the track
over the course of the night.
“It’s two different fla-
vors of open-wheel racing,”
Walden said of the Sprint
and WMRA cars. “The
drivers have to be good,
because if they run into
each other, they’ll end up
on their heads. These driv-
ers have a lot of respect for
each other.”
Doors open at 4:30 p.m.,
and racing officially com-
mences at 6 p.m. There is a
$15 general admission fee
per person.

ence Player of the Year by
the conference coaches for
the second year in a row.
He also is a two-time
East Oregonian Player of
the Year, and was named to
the 2018-19 5A all-state first
team.
Newsom scored 613
points this season, for a 25.5

That mark surpasses Spen-
cer Sundin, who averaged
24.5 points a game during
the 2008-09 season.
Newsom also ranks sec-
ond with points in a season
for the Bucks, trailing Bry-
cen Bronson, who scored
658 points during the 1998-
99 season.
Pendleton advanced to
the state tournament this
year, finishing 0-2. New-
som earned second-team
all-tournament honors.
Newsom finished his
high school career last
month, playing in the OACA
Summer All-Star Game.
