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

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.

Coach’s Comment: “Gabe Walker has set two or more
personal records at every meet so far, no matter what
the weather (even sideways hail). 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. As a sophomore,
I look forward to his improvements in
every event he tries for years to come.”
