lowed by a 10-2 win at Cres-
cent Valley on Thursday. Per-
haps the team’s biggest win
was a 5-4 triumph over Central,
the Panthers’ first loss of the
season. Makena Linn hit a
home run against Central,
while Yasmine El-Hato added
two hits. Pitcher Erin Taylor
earned the victory, throwing
for six strikeouts to earn the
complete game victory. Dallas
entered the week in fourth
place in the Mid-Willamette
Conference. The Dragons
played a doubleheader at

The Panthers gave up 7.4
runs per game in 2014. Cen-
tral is giving up 3.8 runs per
game so far this season.
But after a 6-0 start in
league play, the Panthers
suffered their first series loss,
dropping two of three
against Silverton last week.
The Silver Foxes won 12-2 on
Thursday and 7-5 on Friday.
Central earned an 8-7 win
on Friday.
“I thought we didn’t play
our best baseball this whole
series, but we were able to
salvage a series by not get-
ting swept,” Panthers coach
Zach Miller said.
Central entered the week
in second place in the MWC,
two games behind Corvallis,
one game ahead of Dallas
and two games ahead of
Crescent Valley.
The Panthers were sched-
uled to begin a series against
the Raiders on Tuesday after
press time.

another well-coached team,
and they will challenge us,”
Miller said. “Our goal each
week is to win a series, and
our guys know what needs to
be done.”
As the Panthers prepare
for their final three series of
the regular season, Amador
said Central is ready to take
its game to new heights.
And, a season after
Amador fell short of his own
lofty goals, he hopes to con-
tinue to be an integral part
of the team’s success and
make his first varsity season
one to remember.
“I think we have a good
chance of making a run this
season,” Amador said. “It
would be great to make state.
We haven’t done it in years,
and I think we have enough
potential to make a run.”

Vault: Senior sets new bests
Continued from Page 10A
Remington, who began
track and field in middle
school, is a relative new-
comer to the world of pole
vaulting.
It wasn’t until her sopho-
more season that she gave it
a try.
“I really like pole vault
because it’s such a rush,
and I like to push myself,,”
she said. “It can be scary,
and I’ve definitely fallen a
few times. You just have to
get up and try again.”
For Remington, who also
played volleyball in high
school and has participated
in softball in the past, track
provides a unique experi-
ence, one that she enjoys
being a part of.
“You get out of it what
you put into it,” she said. “In
a team sport, sometimes
you get one or two players
who don’t work as hard or
not everyone is on the same
page. In track, if you don’t
want to be there, you won’t
perform well. You have to
push yourself to do better.
You have to rely on yourself.
It’s a nice break to be out-
side and do a more individ-
ual sport.”
As Remington looks to
prepare for a final push
toward state, she’s hoping
years of dedication and
hard work pays off in a big
way.
“I would be very excited,”
Remington said. “To go to
the state meet and compete
would mean be so much
fun for me.”

The Pan-

8-7 before falling 7-5.
In the Panthers’ lone
win, Kyler Fleming hit a
walk off RBI single. Fresh-
man pitcher Peter Menda-
zona earned the victory in
his first start.
“We had some missed op-
portunities, but the guys ral-
lied and stayed with it,” Cen-
tral coach Zach Miller said.
The Panthers entered the
week in sole possession of
second place in the MWC.
Central was scheduled to
face Crescent Valley Tuesday
after press time. Central
hosts the Raiders Wednes-
day (today) at 4:30 p.m. be-
fore closing out the three-
game series at Crescent Val-
ley on Friday.
“Getting the kids to un-
derstand these new series
format is we don’t have to
sweep,” Miller said. “It’s
getting them to understand
that, let’s win a series two
out of three, and we can’t
get swept. We have to get
one or two, and if we get
three wins in a week, it is
an added bonus.”
