TigerScots, leaving one on
base.
The Prospectors made
it 10-4 in the bottom of the
inning when Robertson hit
deep into right field, scor-
ing McCluskey.
After two outs, the Ti-
gerScots loaded the bases
in the seventh.
Weston-McEwen scored
on a walk. Then McClus-
key relieved Neault, and
the final out was made im-
mediately when a fly ball
was caught in the outfield.
“Our hitting went well
today,” said Grant Union
head coach Dusty Williams
after the April 24 game.
“Defensively, we just have
to continue to work hard.”
Commenting on Mc-
Cluskey’s home run, Wil-
liams said, “For a freshman,
he’s going to have a bright
future.”

Vaughan said he was hap-
py with the team’s perfor-
mance.
“We need to fix some er-
rors — clean it up — so we
can look good for districts,”
he said.
McCluskey said they
were more prepared than in
previous games.
“We still have things to
work on and improve on,”
he said.
Hodge added, “We just
need to be focused and not
make mental errors.”

their times,” Smith said. “We

the runners who attended the
meet.”
For 1A Long Creek, five
athletes each set personal re-
cords in an event.
“A few kids tried new
events,” said Long Creek head
coach Linda Studtmann. “It
was a hot day, so staying hy-
drated and not overheating was
an important concern.”
She said competing at Nyssa,
up against 16 other 1A through
4A teams, was one of the larger
meets they’ve attended.
“I think it was a good experi-
ence and a challenge for them,”
Studtmann said, adding the ath-
letes are looking forward to the
district meet May 11 in Baker.
“For all our new kids on the
team, they have tried several
different events and are now
really trying to focus on the few
they have found they like,” she
said. “(We’re) trying to help
them fine tune their techniques
and improve their speeds,
throws and jumps.”
