A16 Sports wallowa.com April 22, 2015 Wallowa County Chieftain CUBS: Girls lose then win Cooney leads Joseph track at Umatilla Continued from Page A10 Playing April 14 against Weston-McEwen/Griswold, team coach Cliff Conrad said his girls faced a pretty good pitcher, but the game went the full seven innings. Conrad added, “I was proud of them for not giving up.” The Cubs were down 15-1 in the top of the sixth when they rallied for five runs. Darby Gassett led off with a double, Macey Frei singled, and Kristyn Young also reached base before Anna Rinehart stroked a double. The Cubs also drew a walk that inning. The late rally was enough to avoid triggering the 10-run rule, so the game went the distance. Natalie Williams, the Cubs’ starting pitch- er, endured the bulk of Weston-McEwen’s offensive attack. She was eventually relieved by Madison Plew, who shut out the home team Rich Rautenstrauch/Chieftain Cubs senior catcher Anna Rinehart tosses the ball to first base Friday afternoon while playing the Umatilla Vikings at Jensen Fields in Enterprise. for the final three innings. In Friday’s doubleheader with Umatilla, it wasn’t as if the Cubs were smashing the ball to score their runs. It was more of a walk fest. In the second game Cubs batters were issued 18 free passes as they scored their 19 runs. One of Friday’s highlights was Cubs batter Macey Frei swinging at a ball practical- ly over her head. One of the coaches asked her what she was doing and she replied that she just wanted to hit the ball. The coach then said, “Maybe you should jump a little higher next time.” Ev- erybody in the Cubs’ dugout got quite a chuckle out of it. Plew pitched solidly for a game and a half Friday with Darby Gassett coming on in relief in the second game. Plew had six strikeouts in the first game, and Gassett recorded three in the night- cap. The Cubs only had one error in the first game and none in the second. The local softball team’s season continues this Friday with a doubleheader on the road against the Riverside Arlington Pirates. TRACK: Enterprise men win big meet Continued from Page A10 To the Enterprise coach, it presented an opportunity to “put kids in events that they hadn’t been in all year.” This even applied to one of the team’s biggest stars, Lathrop, who had his ¿rst competitive taste of the 300m hurdles and won decisively at 41.51, despite giving him- self too much clearance over the hurdles, form that Moody said “wasn’t very good.” In Moody’s estimation, there’s de¿nitely room for improve- ment here. He notes the school record is 39.7. “I think he’s capable of beating it,” the coach said. Kohlhepp, who quali¿ed for state last year with a throw of 129’9”, shattered that mark twice on Saturday, ¿rst with a throw of around 147’ that Moody said already broke the school record before Kohlhepp’s subsequent keep- er mark of 148’6”, the one that will actually go into the books. For Kohlhepp, “every- thing’s beginning to click,” Moody said. “Hopefully, he’s becoming consistent.” Outlaws men also took ¿rsts in the 100 meters, 4x100 and 4x400 relays, 1500 me- ters, high jump, and triple jump. (See complete results below). High-placers among Enter- prise women included Reagan Bedard, ¿rst in the 400 me- ters at 1:07; javelin thrower Jolene Ginther, ¿rst at 92’5”; and second-place pole vault- er Morgan Anderson, who ATHLETE OF THE WEEK his outstanding performance at the Columbia River Invitational track meet, held at Boardman on April 18.

Moody said he liked the form sophomore Stacy Dou- glass displayed in the 100m hurdles, an event in which she ¿nished third (18.13) and where she can continue to improve. Elsewhere on the women’s team, junior Zoe Sallada’s javelin throw of 77’, a ¿fth-place effort, was a per- sonal best. This Saturday the squad travels to Union for the 9th annual Pepsi Invitational.

This year, eight children and two chaperons from Sun- nyside school made the jour- ney to Wallowa County to ex- perience the rural side of life. These participants stayed in Wallowa County from April 16 to the 21st. After their arrival from Port- land, the Sunnyside children and chaperons were treated to a potluck and orientation at Clo- verleaf Hall. There, the students were introduced to, and ate a sump- tuous meal with their host fam- ilies while learning the do’s and don’ts of the program and rural life in general.

We hit the second pitcher better. The wind was blowing at Mach 20, and we hit some balls on the screws that turned into routine Ày balls from the wind,” Word said. With the team now 4-7 on the year, Word is seeing a little promise. “We have several kids getting hits, and everyone’s hitting the ball well. That’s the good thing,” Word said.
