Bier striking out the first
three batters faced. When
the first Morrow County
batter of the game, Doug

was the only thing they got
out of the infield."
The Hermiston' Herald
squad scored on two Morrow
County errors the only er
rors made during the game.
Holland was 2 for 2 at the
plate, with 3 RBIs. Rick Cole
