Buff Softball
team blasts
past Nyssa
A report of a Buffalo stampede in
Eastern Oregon as the Madras White
Buffalo girls softball team rambled
bast the Nyssa Bulldogs taking both
ends of a double header by the scores
of 12-1 in the first game and I the
second game by the score of 36-1 , on
Saturday, April 23, 1994.
. ,.Jesse Esquiro, has been coming
on strong lately and once referred to
as vacuum on third base as she
scooped everything that came her
way in games in the past. Esquiro
was four for four at the plate. RBI's
of five runs batted in. Luther picked
up the win in the first game in the 12
1 win over the Bulldogs.
In the second game Nyra the win
ning pitcher who also clubbed out a
home run during the game and
Mellissa Cavender had two triples in
the game. This puts the Buffs at the
record of 9-1 in league play and 10
5 over all for the year. It was quite a
night mare for the Nyssa Bulldogs,
and the best thing that could happen
for them is to end the game as soon as
possible.

The Oregon Travelers participated
in the Rufus, Oregon Tournament
April 15 and 16. The following is an
account of tournament action by Tony
"Big Rat" Suppah
The teams were tough physically.
It was good competition from start to
finish. It was a reunion for most
competing in the First Annual Mike
Green Memorial, Men's 30-over
Tourney, April 15 and 16, 1994 in
Rufus.
Mike Green was a friend, fellow
team mate and played on the
following teams: Nez Perce Nation,
Taholah Skins and the Oregon
Travelers. Our first game was against
the Wapato Headbands, who was
quick but lacked in rebounding,
giving us the edge. Our second was
tough to the end with the Satus
Cowboys, both physically and talent
the teams were matched up.
In the semi's we played the
Taholah Skins, who gave us a go for
the first half, then we broke the game
open in the third quarter, moving us
into the championship against Satus
Cowboys again, who came in better
prepared defeating us 110-102,
putting us into another game with
one loss each.
Conditioning and a bench paid off
for us, giving us the championship,
with both teams cramping us. Our
roster consisted of Captain Ron Jones,
Jack Mccormack, Kub Ellenwood,
Bob Main, Rich Ramsey, Rick
Gallegos, Bill Hererra, Darryl Taylor,
Hood McCormack, Arnold Barney
and Big Rat Suppah.
