A11 WEDNESDAY May 18, 2016 SCOREBOARD PREP ROUNDUP Rising Cubs look to surge into state softball playoffs By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain Steve Tool/Chieftain Madison Plew pitches against Stanfield/Echo hitter during a May 13 doubleheader. Rachel Frolander’s RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning lifted the Wallowa Valley Cubs to a softball doubleheader sweep of fi fth-ranked Stanfi eld/Echo at home Friday in both teams’ regular season fi nales. The Cubs also earned a place in districts with the victories. The Cubs won the fi rst game be- hind the pitching of Natalie Williams, who ended the day as winning pitcher of both games. Shelby Moncrief and Darby Gassett each had a pair of hits in the victory. Wallowa Valley was trailing 7-1 in the second game after a string of errors in the top of the fourth. The Cubs ral- lied with fi ve runs in the bottom of the inning to trim the defi cit to 7-6. The score stood at 8-7 for Stanfi eld in the bottom of the seventh when Cubs right fi elder Frolander, who had sat out the sixth inning, strode to the plate with runners on second and third. Frolander quickly found herself with FRIDAY, MAY 13 Baseball Echo/Stanfi eld 15, Wallowa Valley 2 Echo/Stanfi eld 13, Wallowa Valley 5 Softball Wallowa Valley 7, Echo/Stanfi eld 5 Wallowa Valley 9, Echo/Stanfi eld 8 SPORTS CALENDAR an 0-2 count, but didn’t lose her nerve. “I was pretty confi dent, but a little nervous,” she said. She teed off on the next pitch, driv- ing a double into right fi eld that ended the game and lifted her team into the district playoffs. “When I got up from second base, they told me we had won the game 9-8,” Frolander said. Joyful teammates mobbed Frolander on the fi eld. “I got tackled,” she said with a laugh.

ON TO STATE Wallowa County schools triumph at district track meets By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain Wallowa County schools are sending more than 20 athletes to state track meets in Eugene after stellar performances at districts. Enterprise/Wallowa competed at the Wapiti League districts in Union on Friday, coming away with a multitude of top fi nishers who will compete at the state meet. To qualify for state, an athlete must fi nish in the top two places or surpass a qualifying event standard set by the state. Outlaws coach Dan Moody thought the districts were a satis- fying end to the regular season. “The kids competed extremely well,” Moody said. “Everything went the way I wanted it to go. Our boys and girls ran their best races of the year.” Courtesy of Jenny Reinheardt See STATE, Page A12 Enterprise’s Nathan Perren won the high jump with a leap of 6-00 at the 2A Wapiti League district meet at Union on Friday. Crawfords, Cornett set scramble record at EHS event “You can’t golf guilty,” Jimmy Bivens exclaims. This statement came from a golfi ng buddy of his who was implying that to score well you must golf free, not with a mind fi lled with other obligations. Bivens’ friend’s blunt advice rings true with a softer version of quotes from Bobby Jones, the famous ama- teur golfer of the 1920s: “You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.” It’s a good thing someone didn’t Rochelle Danielson advise Dan Cornett of golf guilt. On Saturday morning, shortly before the start of the 14th Annual 4-Person Scramble to benefi t Enterprise High School golf, Cornett was on his way out the clubhouse door headed for another commitment. He hadn’t gone far before being arm-twisted into staying and making up a last-minute team with Mike Crawford and Kyle Crawford. With the help of Cornett the team of three shot a 57 gross, the lowest score ever posted for a scram- ble at Alpine Meadows. Well, so much for golf tips and quotes. In the same tournament, Sherri Currie, Dick Anderson, Jerry Hook and Bivens concentrated on winning with a low net of 61. Another winner in the high school team competition is Joseph’s Tori Suto, who placed 3rd in the girls divi- sion and is on her way to state.
