Both Siuslaw diamonds were busy
last Friday as the Vikings hosted Gold
Beach for a pair of doubleheaders.
On the baseball diamond, the
Vikings made quick work of the
Panthers, combining for a total of 25
runs and ending both games early in
back-to-back shutouts, 15-0 and 10-0.
Meanwhile, the Lady Vikings were
able to generate 17 hits during their
two-game series against the Panthers.
However, 13 Siuslaw errors and a solid
Gold Beach defense was too much for
the Vikings to overcome.
Gold Beach went on to sweep the
series, 10-1 and 18-8 to end both
games early on the 10-run rule.
Senior Taylor Dotson went 3-for-6
on the day. Claire Waggoner was 3-for-
4 in game two with two RBIs. Seniors
Halee Richards and Andi Reude each
had two hits
Thursday, the Viking boys will host
Sutherlin at 4:30 p.m.
Friday, the Lady Viks will be at
Sutherlin for a doubleheader beginning
at 3 p.m.
