Other Monument girls setting personal records for the day included Miranda Grant Union’s Wade Reimers bunts the ball in game two against Heppner. The Eagle Angel Carpenter BASEBALL Continued from Page B1 Hallgarth was on the mound at the bottom of the inning, making quick work getting the outs, including a strikeout. When Heppner threatened in the second — scoring one, load- ing the bases and scoring anoth- er on a walk — Grant Union head coach Dusty Williams made a pitching change. Billy Copenhaver took over at the mound, and Heppner scored one more runner before the Prospectors got the outs, catching a fl y ball, and get- ting runners out at second and fi rst. Grant Union’s bats were cracking in the fourth, Jesse Paulson, Cauy Weaver, Wade Reimers and Ty McDaniel hit- ting singles and Warner Rob- ertson hitting a double. Weaver scored on Copenhaver’s sacri- fi ce fl y, and three other Prospec- tors scored in the inning, bring- ing their lead to 8-3. Prospector Brogan McKro- la pitched the fourth and fi fth innings, holding the visitors scoreless for the remainder of the game. In the top of the fi fth, Mc- Daniel’s single brought in Weaver and McKrola, and Re- imers’ single sent Copenhaver and Hunt home. Reimers scored off Boethin’s sacrifi ce fl y. Grant Union won by the 10- run rule after Heppner was un- able to make a comeback in the bottom of the inning. “The win was great,” Boethin said afterward, add- ing he hoped they would have a repeat on Saturday (April 29) against Union/Cove. “We worked really hard today, and I Dayville results Gabe Walker: 100 meter, 21st, 12.78; 110-meter hurdles, 19th, 21.94 Monument results Girls Sophia Pettit: 100 meter, fi rst, 12.78; 200 meter, second, 27.51; long jump, fi rst, 16-05.50; triple jump, fi rst, 33-02.00 Kyla Emerson: 100 hurdles, fourth, 17.64; 300 hurdles, sixth, 52.47 Miranda Cook: 300 hurdles, 19th, 1:05.04; javelin, 17th, 74.11 Faythe Schafer: 200 meter, 10th, 29.73; 400 meter, ninth, 1:05.94; dis- cus, 11th, 79-04; javelin, 12th, 84-00 Dinorah Vidrio Landin: 800, 13th, 3:15.64; long jump, 10th, 13-10.50; triple jump, ninth, 29-07.75 Aubrey Bowlus: shot put, 17th, 25-09; discus, 12th, 73-03; javelin, 23rd, 68-00 Boys Jess Hoodenpyl: 200, 17th, 26.97; 800, 16, 2:27.22; 3000, 19th, 12:03.42 Hayden Schafer: javelin, fourth, 139- 01; shot put, eighth, 38-02, discus, 12th, 100-00 like to see that.” Coach Williams said he wanted to keep the momentum going, and that’s just what they did. The Prospectors had an 8-3 win over Union/Cove in game one Saturday, and Grant Union ended game two in fi ve innings with an 11-1 victory. Zack Deiter threw a com- plete game one, and Brogan McKrola was on the mound for game two with 13 strikeouts in fi ve innings, also pitching a complete game. “With defense, we played really good as a team and cap- italized on some errors made by Union,” Williams said. “We hit the ball really well.” Lead-off hitter Ty McDaniel hit a single-run homer in game one. “That was his fi rst home run of the year,” Williams said. “Ty did a great job catching for us. It’s a lot of work, and he’s done that all season.” Williams said he’s glad to see his team playing good base- ball to end the season on a good note. “I’m just proud of the boys,” he said. “It’s nice to see all the hard work and the long hours they put in at the fi eld paying off for us.” Grant Union was scheduled to face the Burns Hilanders on the road Tuesday, past press time, for a nonleague single game.

Last week, he moved up to a faster heat of the 200m and immediately took first place in that heat. He also long jumps, triple jumps, and hurdles.
