Damion Young relieved
Robertson in the sixth.
He had a strikeout in
the sixth and two strike-
outs in the seventh, but
the Trojans were able to
score one more run in
each of the innings for
the 3-point win.
Homedale pitcher Jake
Collett proved tough, tak-
ing the mound for six in-
nings, with Wyatt Wolfe
relieving in the seventh.
Grant Union head
coach Dusty Williams
said his athletes played
well against a solid team.
“We had some good,
hard hits — just right at
them,” he said. “It was
just one of those games
where you play pretty
good, but they were a
little bit better than we
were.”
Williams said Zack
Deiter performed well at
center field.
“Warner
Robertson
threw really well for us,”
Williams said, adding
Young also performed
well. Both are sopho-
mores.
“It’s only the second
time he’s been on the
mound in a game,” Wil-
liams said of Young.
Reimers
said
Homedale, which im-
proved to 7-1 with the
win, is a good team with
a lot of pitchers.
“They can throw
strikes,” he said. “We just
had some mistakes that
cost us — tough loss, but
I think we should finish
off this tournament with
two W’s.”
Grant Union did finish
the tournament with two
wins, 3-2 over Lost Riv-
er Friday and 15-6 over
Harrisburg Saturday.
The team is scheduled
to face Oakland at 11 a.m.
and Monroe at 2 p.m. Sat-
urday, March 31, in John
Day for the Les Schwab
Invitational.

ahead of hitters, as usual — that’s what you
have to do to be successful,” he said.
