Pitcher of the Year Zach Morgan, 9, Sisters Continued from 1B on the board fi rst when Hunter Harris hit a double down the left- fi eld line to score Payton Presley in top of fi rst inning. But North Marion (14-13, 10-5 Oregon West) did not fl inch. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the inning, Jordan Kendall hit a three-run double to the left fi eld fence. Two batters later, Hunter Beachy put the Huskies up 4-1 with a sac- rifi ce fl y. “We were confi dent at fi rst, but as they kept getting hits you could see that confi dence level just kept going down,” said Harris, who went 2-for-4. North Marion added two more runs in the fourth inning without the benefi t of a hit, and Nat Barrell hit a solo home run in the fi fth in- ning to extend the lead to 8-1. Harris came in to relieve Thoma- son for the fi nal 1 2/3 innings, al- lowing one run on two hits. “We thought about pulling Zach earlier in the game but he’s a se- nior and our number-one guy. We also wanted to give him a chance to work through it because he’s been able to in the past,” said Geiszler. Cottage Grove began the sixth inning with consecutive singles by Harris and Lucas Ward. And after Beachy walked in one run, Bryce Allen hit a two-run single to center fi eld, which left the Lions trailing 8-4. But then in the bottom of the sixth inning the wheels came completely off for Cottage Grove. The Huskies took advantage of four errors to put four more runs on the board. “Something we really try to do is keep the energy up,” said North Marion coach Randy Brack. “With high-school kids that can be hard; they’ll sit back on their heels, espe- cially if they get a lead. But today they stayed with it, and that’s really really important.” Ward, who fi nished 2-for-4, rounded out Cottage Grove’s scor- ing with an RBI groundout in the seventh. Brett Ollivant also had two hits and scored a run for the Lions. The Huskies, who play Baker in the fi rst round today, began their season 5-8 but are 9-5 since the midway point. Brack said that they have improved in every phase of the game, in particular situational hitting and fi elding. North Marion went 9-for-19 and had no errors. Given the way their season end- ed, Geiszler said the keys to the offseason are clear: defense and throwing strikes. He also added that he is looking forward to work- ing with a big group of returners. “We were pretty young this year. We had two sophomore infi eld- ers and a fi rst-time catcher. Next year that won’t be an excuse and because everyone will be experi- enced, which I am looking forward to,” he said. photo by Jo Wheat, Cottage Grove's Hunter Harris threw one strikeout in relief duty against the Huskies. He also went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI for the Lions. D ISC G OLF Caring for your Health Continued from 1B “It is a blessing and a treat to be able to play here. It’s al- most perfect for disc golf,” said tournament director Warren Hollinshed, who explained that Middlefi eld is one of just a few golf courses in the state that host disc golf events. The disc golfers also came to compete for over $11,000 in cash and prizes. Hollinshed, 28, spent six months designing a disc-golf course that would maximize Middlefi eld’s 5,000-yard, par- 67 golf course. His eventual concept — a 13,000 ft., par-71 disc-golf course — was nearly a perfect fi t. Hollinshed estimates that this course is one of the fi ve longest in the world. By contrast, the permanent disc-golf course at nearby North Regional Park is a par-56 and 5,491 ft. long. According to Hollinshed, the tournament was so highly anticipated that the fi eld was fi lled within minutes of open- ing registration. The men’s open division drew 45 professional players, including seven players with a rating of 1,000 or higher as determined by the Profes- sional Disc Golf Association. For reference, the top player in the world is Paul McBeth with a rating of 1,046. Scott Withers of Albany shot 10-under par for a one-stroke victory over over Luis Nava of Beaverton. Dustin Keegan of Eugene and Dion Arlyn shared third place at seven-under par. The tournament weekend also served a a bit of a business-mod- el experiment for Hollinshed and Middlefi eld. After 2 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, they suc- cessfully coordinated tee times for golfers and disc golfers. “Ideally this is a model that could benefi t both communi- ties,” he said. “The demographic of golfers is skewing a bit older, so by introducing disc golf, a lot of courses develop a base of younger customers. The key is going to be managing the pace and space of both games.” 4A Baseball Playoffs 4A Softball Playoffs MIDDLEFIELD MENS GOLF Date: May 21 Game: 3-2-1 Best Ball Play-in Results North Marion 12, Cottage Grove 5 Cascade 10, La Grande 1 Molalla 5, Elmira 4 Sweet Home 6, Marshfi eld 3 Estacada 10, South Umpqua 1 Philomath 18, Crook County 3 Scappoose 8, Valley Catholic 1 Mazama 5, Ontario 2 Play-in Results Cascade 8, South Umpqua 3 Scappoose 12, Junction City 3 Corbett 7, Sweet Home 6 North Valley 7, North Marion 4 Ontario 9, La Grande 2 Douglas 14, Seaside 1 Crook County 2, Phoenix 1 Mazama 14, Tillamook 0 First Round Games Cascade at Henley Sweet Home at North Bend Estacada at Astoria Philomath at Hidden Valley Mazama at Gladstone North Marion at Baker Scappoose at Newport Molalla at Sisters First Round Games Ontario at Banks Scapposse at Elmira Mazama at Marshfi eld North Valley at Newport Corbett at Yamhill-Carlton Crook County at Henley Douglas at Gladstone Cascade at McLoughlin WE OFFER: 6SLQH&DUH2UWKRSHGLF6SRUWV5HKDE -RE,QMXULHV09$:RUN&RQGLWLRQLQJ )RRW&DUH&KURQLF3DLQ6\QGURPH 6WDELOL]DWLRQ7KHUDS\0DQXDO7KHUDS\ 0F.HQ]LH0HWKRG )5((XQOLPLWHGDFFHVVWR$Q\WLPH )LWQHVV&OXEGXULQJFOLQLFKRXUV /XQFKWLPHHYHQLQJHDUO\PRUQLQJ DSSRLQWPHQWV &RQYHQLHQWORFDWLRQZLWKLQWKH6DIHZD\ 3OD]D Cottage Grove Physical Therapy ??? $ Heather LaPrath DPT A Merit Rehab Facility !
