Baker High School, then trav-
eled the next day to Milton-
Freewater and swept the
Mac-Hi Pioneers in a Greater

The Bulldogs, who lost to

their season, won Monday 25-
15, 23-25, 25-18, 25-20.
Baker opened the fi rst set
with a 7-2 lead behind the
serving of Anna Carter.
Lacy Churchfi eld then
stepped to the service line
and increased Baker’s lead
to 11-3.
The Bulldogs then kept
the lead between 10 and 11
points the rest of the set.
The second set was much
closer, with neither team
gaining more than a 3-point
lead until the game was knot-
ted at 20-20.
Weiser then jumped ahead
23-20 before Baker rallied to
tie the score again at 23-23 on
the serves of Josie Lewis.
Weiser then scored the
fi nal two points to even the

Baker trailed by as many
as eight points in the third set
before battling back.
Trailing 17-14, Baker
scored seven straight points
to build a 24-17 edge.

ren Benson to a 20-7 cushion
in the fourth set.
Weiser battled back to get
