PREP ROUNDUP
Wallowa Valley Cubs sweep Elgin/Imbler
By Steve Tool
Wallowa County Chieftain
The Wallowa Valley
Cubs dominated Elgin/Im-
bler on Tuesday, sweeping
both ends of a softball dou-
bleheader, 15-3 and 19-2.
The Cubs were led by the
pitching of Natalie Williams
and the bats of virtually the
entire team.
The opener saw the 10-
run rule applied after fi ve
innings. Williams pitched
a spectacular one-hitter for
three innings before being
relieved by Lexie Gassett.
The bats spoke volumes for
the Cubs as nearly every
player had at least one hit.
“Everybody
scored,”
Coach Cliff Conrad said.
“Josie Scott went 3 for 4 and
scored two runs and had an
RBI. Shelby Moncrief went
2 for 3 and scored three runs
and got two walks.”
Game 2 also ended on
the 10-run rule after fi ve
innings. Winning pitcher
Madison Plew stayed on the
mound through four innings
before Rylee Goller took
over in relief, facing only
three batters in retiring the
side.
“Pretty much everyone
played in the second game,
too,” Conrad said.
Moncrief had one hit,
scored four runs and had two
RBIs.
The Cubs are now sitting
in fourth place in the league
with an 8-6 league record
and a 10-10 mark overall.
Their next game is at home
against Stanfi eld/Echo at 1
p.m. Friday.
Baseball: Eagles go
1-1 against Huskies
The Wallowa Valley Ea-
gles split a baseball double-
header with Elgin/Imbler
on Tuesday, dropping the
opener 7-5 but coming back
strong in the second game
with a decisive 10-3 victory.
The team played without
starters Gus Ramsden, Kobe
Frye and Christopher No-
bles, who participated in an-
other school-related activity.
Justin Exon took the
opening loss for the Ea-
gles, pitching six innings.
The Enterprise senior gave
up nine hits but only three
earned runs over the after-
noon, while striking out sev-
en and walking four.

Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife district fi sh biologists will
be hosting two public information-
al meetings in Wallowa County to
talk about upcoming spring Chi-
nook fi sheries.
Fish biologists will give an over-
view of spring Chinook fi shery
management on the Imnaha and
Wallowa Rivers, to include an out-
look of upcoming seasons in 2016.
Also on the agenda is an opportu-
nity for public comment. The meet-
ings start at 6 p.m. and will be held:
• 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 17 at the
Enterprise ODFW Offi ce, 65495
Alder Slope Road
• 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 18
at the Imnaha Store and Tavern,
79015 Hat Point Road
According to Jeff Yanke, Wal-
lowa District Fish Biologist, al-
though the popularity for spring
Chinook fi shing on Wallowa Coun-
ty rivers has increased, there contin-
ues to be some questions regarding
the management of the fi sheries.
“We need to do a better job of
explaining to anglers how these
fi sheries are managed and why op-
portunities can be so variable from
year to year,” Yanke said. “Imple-
menting these fi sheries involves a
very complex process, so our goal
for these meetings is to address
common questions folks have
about the management decisions
we make.”
Spring Chinook salmon in
Wallowa County are listed under
the federal endangered species act
(ESA), and in addition harvest is
shared between sport and tribal
anglers. Because of that, ODFW
fi shery managers spend months
planning and coordinating with
federal regulatory agencies, other
state agencies and local tribes.
Chinook salmon bound for
Wallowa County are just beginning
to show up in the lower Columbia
River this time of year. According
to district fi sh biologists, although
preseason run forecasts are below
average, they are hopeful they in-
crease to offer an opportunity for
fi shing.
