No. 1-ranked Lady Pro
softball team improves to 6-0
plate in the contest and fi nished
with three runs scored and three
RBIs. Halle Parsons and Paige
Gerry both fi nished 2-4 at bat.
Parsons scored one run and
drove in three RBIs. Robertson
fi nished with a run scored and
two RBIs. The Lady Pro bats
once again came to life in this
contest as the team logged 15
total hits on the afternoon.
Drew Williams pitched the
entire game and notched the
win for the Lady Pros. Wil-
liams surrendered four hits and
four runs while striking out six
batters.
Grant Union softball head
coach Zach Williams says his
team is playing well, but he
didn’t expect a perfect start.
“We’re playing as a team,
a lot of girls have contributed
so far and like we thought, our
depth is our strength. We sched-
uled a tough stretch of games
intentionally and we weren’t
disappointed with the competi-
tion. I expected us to be tough,
but I defi nitely didn’t expect us
to be 6-0.”
Williams also refrains from
calling his team’s win over No.
1 Scio a statement game despite
the result.
“Scio’s No. 1 pitcher
couldn’t really throw against
us. That was a bit disappoint-
ing, but they’re a very solid
team and we’re excited to get
that win. Our hope is that the
girls get better every day and
keep pulling together as a team.
League play starts Friday, so we
really can’t aff ord to have any
letdowns.”
The Lady Pros are in action
again on Friday, April 1, in a
doubleheader against Echo/
Stanfi eld. The fi rst game starts
at 2 p.m. in John Day.

against some of the larger schools in the
state.
”We beat every 3A team at the meet and
even some of the larger schools as well,”
she said.
”Our numbers are our strength. We had
some events where we had multiple plac-
ers in a single event, and we scored points
in the events that we didn’t win but had
people compete and fi nish.”

JOHN DAY — The
Grant Union/Prairie City
baseball team defeated the
Ontario Tigers 13-3 Friday,
March 25, as the Prospec-
tors took two out of three
games at the Les Schwab
Grant Union Tournament
last week.
RC Huerta, the Pros-
pectors head coach, said
the game started a bit slow
for his team, but the squad
showed resiliency and
played well overall.
Huerta said the team’s
defense has been picking
up and the Pros have been
hitting the ball well.
“We’ve been making
good plays, and it’s encour-
aging to see that,” Huerta
said.
One of those good plays
occurred toward the end of
the game when Prospector
catcher Riddick Hutchison
tagged out Ontario’s James
Dyan at home to keep
Grant Union’s comfortable
lead intact.
Hutchison said after the
game that he thought the
2-A Prospectors were going
to have their work cut out
for them in facing a 4-A
Ontario team, but overall
he thought the team played
well.
“We got the sticks
swinging,” Hutchison said.
Huerta said he likes to
get the Prospectors as many
opportunities as possible to
play good teams.
Grant
Union/Prai-
rie City started the three-
day tourney at the Seventh
Street Sports Complex on
Wednesday, March 23, with
a 13-6 loss to the 4A Sisters
Outlaws.
The Prospectors fol-
lowed that up on Thurs-
day, March 24, with 16-6
win over the 3A Nyssa
Bulldogs.
Friday’s win was Grant
Union/Prairie City’s third.
The Prospectors are 3-3
this season.
Grant
Union/Prairie
City’s next game is a con-
ference matchup on the
road against the Stanfi eld/
Echo Tigers at 11 a.m. Sat-
urday. April 2.
