A9 WEDNESDAY May 13, 2015 Cubs bring bats, not gloves to Echo By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain ECHO — The Enterprise Cubs left Echo hungry, after losing both ends of a doubleheader at Echo/ Stanfield on May 8. This, after out-hitting the Echo team in both games. The Cubs lost the opener 11-8 while racking up an impres- sive 10 hits against Echo. Unfortu- nately, Echo’s eight hits were aug- mented with help from the Cubs in the form of five errors, at least eight walks served up and six la- dies left on base. Natalie Williams started for the Cubs, pitching four innings with Madison Plew com- ing on in relief. The second game told the same story with the Cubs out-hitting Echo 13-11 in a 20-12 losing effort. The Cubs committed seven errors and left seven ladies-in-waiting on base as well. Plew pitched the first three in- nings with Williams coming on in relief. Cubs Coach Cliff Conrad point- ed to the bat of Plew as one of the lone bright spots for the Cubs. Plew went 2-for-5 at the plate with a homer and four RBIs. “Everybody hit well, but we re- ally need to work on our defense to win games,” Conrad said. The losses left the Cubs with a 6-6 league record and an 8-8 sea- son record. The Cubs next play Vale at home on May 15.

While Joseph’s team took part in both the Baker Invitational on Friday and the much smaller ICUE meet the previous day in Elgin, the En- WHUSULVHWUDFNDQG¿HOGVTXDG which also includes athletes from Wallowa, only made the Thursday trip to Elgin. Among Joseph’s higher individual placers at Elgin were Courtney Bailey, who won the 3000 meters, Alex- is Sykora, second in the 100 meters, and Karianne Zoll- man, second in the javelin. A standout performer for the Eagles at Baker City was high jumper Ally Cooney, who came in second. Enterprise had a number of outright winners at the ICUE: James Madsen in the 200 meters, Jacob Evarts in the 1500, Ermano Laici in both the 110 and 300 meter hurdles, Blaze Lepper in the shot put, Daniel Kohlhepp in discus, Micah Fuller in javelin, Rocky Davidson in the triple jump, Stacy Doug- lass in the 100 meter hurdles, Jolene Ginther in javelin, and high-jumper Sarah Madsen. Joseph’s athletes return to Baker City on Thursday, May 14, for the 1A Special District 4 championship meet. Enter- prise travels Friday, May 15, to Grant Union High School in John Day, site of the Wapiti League’s championships. Rob Ruth/Chieftain Wallowa hitter Micah Fuller watches a fly ball he has just launched over the Ent/Jos right fielder’s head in the bottom of the first inning of Saturday’s second game. The ball lands shy of the fence for a double, setting up a second- and third-base threat for the Cougars, who couldn’t get those runners home with two out. There were no further scoring opportunities for them this day. Ent/Jos dominates in doubleheader By Rob Ruth Eagles coach Calvin Word signals to his outfielders Saturday to adjust their positions. Wallowa County Chieftain Rob Ruth/Chieftain See TRACK, Page A10 WALLOWA — Enter- prise/Joseph’s steadily im- proving baseball team took full advantage of Wallowa’s depleted pitching corps Sat- urday, winning both ends of a doubleheader by lopsided scores, 13-1 and 23-0. While the host Cougars were struggling to throw strikes and to otherwise execute on defense, the Eagles were making it all look rather easy, committing few miscues and blanking Wallowa from the second through sixth innings of the first game, and shutting the Cougars out in the five-inning nightcap (shortened by the 10-run rule). Ent/Jos got complete games from both its starting pitchers. In game one, it was southpaw Justin Exon who got the call. After yielding a single earned run in the first inning, he and his teammates slammed the door on Wallowa. The Eagles committed only one error in the game. Exon, who struck out 11 and walked two, didn’t allow a base runner in the last four innings. Ent/Jos scored one run in the first inning, five in the third inning, three in the fourth, and finally four in the sixth. Rob Ruth/Chieftain Eagles first sacker Devin McQuead records an out in the sixth inning of the Eagles’ 13-1 victory over the Cougars in the first game of a doubleheader May 9 in Wallowa. Ent/Jos coach Calvin Word noted that McQuead played flawless defense throughout the day, in addition to having a big day at the plate. In game two, the Eagles jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Leadoff man Tate Olsen was hit by a pitch, reached second base on an error, stole third base, then came home easily on a double by Sam Beckman, who was himself wild- pitched to third, placing him in a convenient loca- tion to come home on Will McCadden’s groundout to third.
