HEPPNER — Friday, April
23, was a Jekyll-and-Hyde type of
day for the Wallowa Valley base-
ball team.
The Eagles managed just four
hits in the opening game of a
road doubleheader against Hep-
pner/Ione — a game they lost 9-0
— then found their off ense and
cruised to a 7-0 win behind a stel-
lar eff ort on the mound by Flynn
Nave.
Wallowa Valley made ample
contact in the opener. But in the
opener, assistant coach J.R. Col-
lier said everything the Eagles hit
went right to a Mustang player,
while everything hit by Heppner/
Ione found a hole.
The Mustangs broke a 1-0
game open with three runs in the
third and chased starter Trace
Evans in the fi fth with four runs
for the fi nal margin.
Hayden Hyatt threw a com-
plete game for Heppner/Ione,
keeping Wallowa Valley off bal-
ance by allowing four hits, two
walks and four strikeouts in seven
innings.
In the nightcap, it was Nave’s
time to shine, and the off ense
found a rhythm.
Zeb Ramsden, Cody Fent
and Nave all had two hits to
