Tuesday, April 17, Siuslaw JV will be at Douglas High School for another Far West League meet, with the Vikings hosting the Central Coast Invitational on Friday, April 20. Events for Tuesday’s meet begin at 3:30 p.m. Friday’s meet gets started at 4 p.m. Vikings a 2-1 lead going into the seventh — and what was expected to be — last inning, just three outs away from a Tigers victory. Taft scored an unearned run in the top of the inning. But once again, the Viking hitters were unable to make solid con- tact and the game entered extra innings. In the 10th inning, I made another pitching change. Taft did not. This seemed to be quite a long outing for an early season non-league game. With the 12th inning up, we only need prevent Taft from scoring to assure a change of pitchers in the 13th. Then, they scored a run. Their ace finished the game with two more strikeouts, total- ing 23 retired batters in the nar- row 3-2, 12-inning victory. This would be the longest baseball game I ever coached or played. Without Taft’s ace on the mound, the Vikings won the second game 6-2, giving Taft its first loss of the season. Ninteen innimgs of baseball were played that day, but the memories of the longest game live on in our memories. for spring Chinook season, and reports of early fish being caught are coming in from the lower Columbia, North Umpqua and lower Rogue rivers.

In the spring anglers on Tenmile Lakes will occasional- ly catch large wild coho smolts (sometimes up to 14-inches). These coho smolts need to be released alive immediately. Trout fishing is open all year in Tenmile Lakes. Fishing for largemouth bass has been slow. Water tempera- tures are cold so anglers will need to slow down there pre- sentations. Most bass will be found in deeper water near structure or weed edges. Anglers have reported the fishing for yellow perch has slowed down. There are lots of small yellow perch so anglers will have to sort to find larger perch. 2150 Hwy. 101 • Florence (541) 997-3475 • 1-800-348-3475 Bottomfish, perch Fishing in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful.
