2B | WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 2019 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL BASEBALL from B1 to extend the lead. Aft er Austin Frieze got on base via an error, he stole second and third before his cous- in, Koldan Frieze, came up with another two-out hit to put a run on the board. Th e next at bat, third baseman Wyatt Beckham hit a double to the wall to score Frieze and give the Warriors a 4-0 advantage. “Th e middle of our order is swinging the bat really, really well. I mean, Koldan’s been on fi re. He started so slowly – he was 4-for-20 at the beginning of the sea- son – so that’s good to see him come back,” said Da- vis. “And Wyatt’s got a nice natural swing. Really proud of him.” Defensively the Warriors put away the Boomers go- ing three-up, three-down in the sixth and seventh inning. Erickson capped off the day with a pair of strikeouts to end the game. “For me, Cal and Koldan, it’s our last year and we want to strive to do our best and get the team a win. It’s real- SOFTBALL from B1 ly exciting for all of us,” said Erickson. Adding, “It seems like our bats are starting to come in handy right at the right time. Th at’s what it is and we’re able to get run- ners on base and hit the ball and we did our job.” Th e victory setup a date with second-ranked Monroe (23-1) on Friday. Heading into the game, the Dragons are on a 20-game winning streak and are the highest-scoring team in all of 1A/2A averaging 14 runs per game. “We’re fairly familiar with them because we played with them the last three or four years and they won that league and we were chasing them, it feels like, forever,” said Da- vis. “So the kids are pretty excited about that match- up. Th ey actually said they hope Monroe won.” Monroe’s one loss of the season came to Umpqua Valley Christian, a team North Douglas beat twice this season. together two runs in the fourth, a run in the fi ft h to avoid being 10-runned and four in the sixth in- ning. “Bonanza didn’t give up. Th ey came to play ball. Th ey really stepped up right about then when they knew their season could be almost over. And kind of caught us off guard and then we got into pan- ic mode and it took us a little while to get back to that, ‘Hey, we still have a big lead, just get an out. Th at’s all we’ve got to do,’” said Rice. “I also have to say, Bonanza’s pitcher, once they started hitting the ball, she was a whole diff erent pitcher. Th ose last couple of innings, man, she really, really stepped up and was throwing the ball hard. She really did. I don’t want to sound like our girls just fell apart, (Bonanza) really stepped up. And started hitting the ball.” Eventually, the War- riors were able to close the game and get the win. And because of where the team is on the bracket, North Douglas was re- warded by getting to play number-one ranked Grant Union (22-2) on Friday. “I’m not sure that was a reward,” said Rice. Th e top-ranked Pros- pectors are currently on a 14-game winning streak and Rice notes that they are a solid team from top to bottom. “Just a really disciplined team,” said Rice. “Th ey’ve proven through the year that everybody on their roster hits the ball well. So we can’t relax there.” From a logistical stand- point, the Warriors trav- elled from Bonanza to Bend on Wednesday where they would stay the night instead of coming home to Drain. On Th urs- day the team travelled to Burns where they stayed and practiced. Friday they made the hour trip to John Day to face Grant Union. By the time the team re- turns home, they will have travelled nearly 900 miles.
