Polk County Sports Polk County Itemizer-Observer • July 26, 2017 13A Fallon: Had nine RBIs on July 16 Tri: Event begins at 10 a.m. Friday Continued from Page 12A Fallon said it took him a few weeks to find a happy medium between rest and pushing himself to his limits, while still being able to perform at a high level. Once the summer sea- son is over, Fallon is head- ed home to Arizona to workout and get ready for the 2018 season at WOU. Fallon’s path to Mon- mouth may not have seemed likely at first. Fal- lon had never been this part of the state, and he d i d n’t k n ow a n y t h i n g about the area. “I knew I wanted to get out of Arizona,” he said. “Western came down and saw me in a tournament and offered me a scholar- ship. I didn’t know any- thing about Monmouth. I could tell it was a smaller city when I visited, but I didn’t know what Mon- mouth was all about, but I went with my gut, took a shot in the dark and said yes.” He hasn’t regretted the decision, even falling in love with the rain — for the most part. “People here know your name because you’re on the baseball team,” Fallon said. “That’s awesome. The biggest difference is the rain. Coming from where it’s sunny every sin- gle day, besides August when we have monsoons, I used to always love when it rains in Arizona. I got here and when the winter comes and it rains all the time, I just thought it was amazing. Although, some- times it gets hard when it rains every single day.” Fallon is eager to show his coaches and team- m a t e s h o w h e’s p r o - gressed as a player. He g i ve s WO U ve r s a t i l i t y with experience playing first base, third base and catcher. And a change in approach at the plate has made him a more dan- gerous batter than ever before, he said. “I’ve learned so many different swing mechanics growing up, but no one taught me the mental side of hitting,” Fallon said. “Not until this summer did I start picking that up. I’ve been asking team- mates how they approach hitting, what pitches they sit on, etc. Hopefully, I’ll be able to turn that into having the same success they do.” His experience playing multiple positions means Fallon provides the Wolves with a versatile player who can fill in a number of different roles. “I want coach to put the best lineup out there so we can win,” Fallon said. “Anywhere he needs me to go, I’ll play.” Fallon knows each step he takes forward is one step closer to his ultimate goal: playing in the major leagues. It will take time, dedica- tion and overcoming more than a few setbacks, but it’s a dream he’s not will- ing to let go. “My dad is a scout; I’ve played baseball and my younger brothers both p l a y b a s e b a l l ,” Fa l l o n said. “Baseball has always been the one for me.” Continued from Page 12A “I think it’s a different sport that kids don’t always get the chance to participate in,” Noll said. “Combining the three sports is always fun. We have a lot of kids who come to swim lessons who like to do (the triathlon) and show their love of biking and running as well. It’s a great chance for the kids to see the pool and experience what it’s like.” The triathlon is just as en- tertaining for those watch- ing. Parents can cheer their kids on and help them go from the swimming portion to the biking portion of the triathlon – a portion of the event that can be tricky as kids try and put shoes and helmets on while wet. “We love having parents cheer them on, and usually they help the kids transition from swimming to the bike,” Noll said. “We all love hand- ing out medals at the end and seeing the kids finish.” Every kid receives a medal for finishing, ensuring that every participant feels ac- complished. The cost is $20 for mem- bers of the aquatic center and $25 for nonmembers. “It’s a fun, once-a-year thing that I think everyone loves doing,” Noll said. “We hope to have a good turnout this year. The staff is very excited, and this is one of their favorite times of the year.” State: Dirtbags open tournament Wednesday (today) Continued from Page 12A Players hope for a differ- ent ending this time around. “I don’t think we’ve peaked yet,” Holstad said. “Early on, we were doing re- ally well, then we hit a little slump. Not necessarily in losses, but in productive- ness as a team. I think we’re ready to hit our peak at state.” The Dirtbags know that being at their best will be necessary in order to bring home a state title. “We have to come togeth- er, give it our all and play as a team,” Dallas junior Eric Kessler said. The team, which draws from a number of area high schools, brings together players who may not be used to playing together. That hasn’t stopped them from establishing relation- ships on and off the field and quickly finding the chemistry necessary for suc- cess. “We all come from the same area and we all have the same want on what we want to do out here,” Kessler said. T h e Dirtbags (27-7 over- all) will open the double- elimina- tion tour- nament Amador against the Willamette Valley Titans (17- 18 overall) Wednesday (today) at 4 p.m. “Our pitching staff will have to be at its best,” Hol- stad said. “But I think we have one of the best staffs in our league and I think in the state. They’ll have to be di- aled in.” Facing some of the best players in the state, there is little room for error, Holstad said. The added intensity begins far before they take the field. “The level of baseball is way higher (than the spring),” Holstad said. “The coaching staff is a little more intense, but I like it. (Coach- es) Scot McDonald and Miles Kizer will really get on you if you mess up. It wasn’t really like that for me or Luis (Amador) and Humberto (Alarcon) during the spring. Being seniors, we were kind of left to correct our own mistakes. Now, I’m really aware when I mess up.” But that added focus has led the Dirtbags to a first- place finish in its league and a chance to take home a state title. “We definitely feel like we have the tools,” Holstad said. “We like to score runs early and like to score runs late. Some teams are just like that, but we’re really fully capable of pulling a game out late. It’s really fun, and all the guys are super awesome.” The Dirtbags know in order to achieve their ulti- mate goal, they can’t over- look anyone and can’t afford to make many errors. If they can avoid that, players are confident about their chances. “We have to play clean baseball, play Dirtbag base- ball and take it one game at a time,” 2017 Central High graduate Luis Amador said. “We have to grind it out every pitch, give 100 percent every pitch and stay locked in the whole game.” Dallas’ Division II baseball team wins state title Itemizer-Observer staff report DALLAS — Dallas’ Divi- sion II baseball team took home a state title, defeating Roseburg 3-2 in the champi- onship game on July 16. Dallas earned a spot in the state finals by defeating Crook County 8-2 in the quarterfinals and Thurston 14-4 in the semifinals. Starting pitcher Thomas Rocha got injured during the game against Roseburg when sliding into home plate. Jared Coxen stepped up in a big way, coach Keeton Luther said. Against Roseburg, the game was close throughout, Keeton said. Roseburg had lost just one game the previ- ous two seasons entering the matchup. Roseburg loaded the bases in the second inning with no outs. Thanks to strong defen- sive efforts from Wyatt Bate- man and Brody Cain, Dallas escaped the inning giving up only one run. Dallas tied the game at one in the third. With the game tied at two in the seventh inning, a bunt from Tommy Freeman and an overthrow from the Roseburg third baseman allowed Bate- man to score the winning run to give Dallas the title. “It was an unbelievable feeling,” Luther said. “I am so proud of all the hard work and determination this group had.” Dallas’ Division I team also advanced to state, but lost its first two games of the tournament.
