Willow Creek all-stars bounced back from a
4-3 loss last week to pound two teams and take
the consolation championship in the District
S, little League tournament in Hood River.
The fourth place finish was the highest ever
for the Willow Creek all-stars.
Willow Creek ran into a tough Redmond
ball club in their opener Thursday and
dropped the contest, despite a late rally, 4-3.
' But they came bouncing back and took
Deschutes 7-6 and Columbia 5-3.
f In the game for the consolation champion
ship, Doug Holland, a right handed hurler,
worked the mound, striking out nine
Columbia batters.
After one inning, the game was knotted at
one apiece. WC scored in the first when John
Murray smashed a double. Don Lott was out
on a fielder's choice smack, scoring Murray
for the lone run.
'' In the fifth inning, after three dormant
Innings, WC hit paydirt again.
" Harry Groshen led off with a single and
Murray blasted a shot out of the park for a
two run homer, setting a mean pace for the
all-stars.
Lott followed with another single and
Holland ripped a double to score Lott. Don .
Taylor kept the rampage alive with another
'single, scoring both Lott and Holland.
Despite a single by Richard Klaus, Taylor
was left stranded on the bases with Taylor
when the inning ended.
WC led 5-1 but Columbia came up with two
more runs in the bottom of the fifth, a little
short.
Groshen and Murray led the WC offensive
attack, both hitting two for four. Groshen
came up with a pair of singles and Murray
smashed a double and the two run homer.
1 Willow Creek 7, Deschutes
. Deschutes took an early 1-0 lead and
stretched it to six runs before WC came back
with a three inning rally to upstage their foes
in the second game Friday, 7-6.
I Deschutes scored one run in the first and
jive more in the top of the second to lead 6-0.
In the bottom of the second though, WC
found Deschutes' weak points and started to
crack the ball.
Doug Holland started off the rally with a
walk. A strike out followed before Robert
Bier, Crag Gutierrez, Earl Hammond and
. Jeff Hams followed suit with bases on balls.
I One run walked in before Harry Groshen
'lined a single into the outfield for two more
runs batted in.
While Gutierrez shut Deschutes down with
his work on the mound, WC was having fun
rattling the Deschutes hurler.
In the third, Mary Kincaid and Bier walked,
setting up a Gutierrez single worth an RBI.
Hammond singled and Groshen worked in
another RBI with a fielder's choice of shot.
After three complete innings, Willow Creek
was back in the ball game, trailing 6-5.
Gutierrez, who struck out just one batter,
relied on fielding by his teammates and shut
down Deschutes the rest of the way. Two
errors was all WC committed.
On the other side, though, they were
capitalizing on Deschutes mistakes.
In the fourth inning, Holland singled to start
the ball rolling. With two outs, John
Breidenbach singled and Gutierrez followed
with another single, scoring two runs on the
hits.
That was all WC needed to stop Deschutes
attack that fizzled after two innings.
Gutierrez was the leading hitter, grabbing a
pair of singles in two trips to the plate.
Groshen was two for four with two doubles.
Redmond 4, Willow Creek 3
Redmond held off a late, sixth inning
Willow Creek rally to thwart the area all-stars
from further tournament hopes with an
opening round, 4-3 win.
The loss dropped WC out of the winners
circle and into the losers bracket.
Redmond came up with one run in the first
inning and three in the third to lead 4-0.
That lead held up till the sixth inning.
In the first four innings, Redmond hurlers
shut WC down with six strikeouts.
In the fifth, two walks and a double by John
Murray looked like a certain rally but Murray
was tagged trying to reach third to dampen
the fire.
Finally in the sixth Inning, WC rallied for
three runs, still short of their five run winning
goal.
Groshen, the leading tourney sticker,
singled to start the inning and Don Lott
followed with another one bagger.
Doug Holland ripped a double that scored
both men and scored himself on a Redmond
error.
But outs ended the inning, one run short.
Lott paced the all-stars with three for three
hitting against Redmond, dashing out a first
inning double and two singles.

Roscoe
By Orville Cutsforth
One time the bunch of us were hunting elk up by Ellis. We
were lined up crossing the ridges, about 6 or 8 of us. My wife
was on the right as we trailed through this country. She
scared up a pair of coyotes crossing a ridge. These coyotes
ran by Roscoe. Roscoe shot one of them. He lowered his gun
and didn't shoot the other one. Old Pappy Leyva was next to
him and was watching him. Roscoe didn't know Pappy was
there. Well, Pappy wondered why Roscoe was playing with
him. The coyote ran by Pappy some distance and then
Roscoe nonchalantly raised his rifle and shot this coyote in
the rear end. The bullet came out of the coyote's belly and
tore a big hole in him.
Pappy said this was the most wicked thing he had ever
watched. He thought about the shot Roscoe had made, 200 to
225 yards, at a small end of a coyote dodging through the
trees. He thought it was the finest shots he had ever seen and
Pappy had been with the game commission for 40 years.
At noon we were gathered around the fire eating lunch and
Pappy was telling about this shooting job that Roscoe had
done. My wife spoke up and said, "Roscoe, shooting the rear
end of a coyote at 200 yards running through the brush, it
would make about a 4-inch target, that's a pretty small target
isn't it, Roscoe?" Roscoe said, "No lady, all targets are the
same size, you shoot the middle."
