while teammate Ernie Ross
contributed 12. For Lane,
Dana Heideman and John
McCabe each scored eight.
With 18 schools fielding
teams during Saturday's Sher
man Invitational, competition
was intense. And despite
blustery weather, a number of
Heppner and lone track com
petitors showed they were
equal to or better than the
best of them.
In boys' events, Heppner
placed fourth behind Union,
Goldendale and Wahtonka,
while lone took seventh,
trailing Sherman and Uma
tilla. As a team, the Heppner
Fillies also finished fourth,
behind Goldendale. Wasco

the lady Cards failing to put
points on the board.

of 64.62. Healy was clocked at
30.50 in the 200 meter hur
Wahtonka pitching
shuts out Cards in

The lone Cardinals were
held to two hits and no runs
Friday, as Wahtonka's ace
pitcher Bill Lavelle maintain
ed his season long unbeaten
streak.
Lavelle struck out 17 lone
batters before scoring ended
at 6-0 in favor of the tiagles.
Despite the lopsided scoring
margin, lone really was not
that far behind Wahtonka
from the second inning on, at
least.

the plate in the first inning,

Mustangs sweep
double-header
from Condon
Good pitching and an inord
inate number of Condon errors
contributed to the Heppner
Mustangs' sweep of a double
header from the BlueDevils on
Saturday.
Heppner took the first game
by a 4-2 margin, then exploded
for 10 runs in the final,
five-inning contest to over
power Condon by seven.
In the first game, three
Heppner runs were scored on
bunts, and the fourth came on
a double steal, involving
brothers Doug and Dale Hol
land, aided by a Condon error.
Dennis Peck started the
game for the Mustangs, but
developed a sore arm and was
relieved by Lionel Wood in the
second inning. Wood gave up
only one run in his 5 and
one-third innings at the
mound, striking out eight and
walking only two.
Les Rouska went the dis
tance for the BlueDevils,
fanning 12 Heppner batters
while giving up only one walk.
However, Condon fielders tal
lied six errors, compared with
a lone miscue for the Mus
tangs. The four Heppner hits
during the first game were
singles by Dennis Peck, Rick
Cole and Randy Cole, and a
double by Mike Stookey.
Organizational meet set
for city league sof tball
There will be a meeting on
Monday. April 30, at 7 p.m., in
the Columbia Basin Co-op
building to determine if there
is enough support for a
slow-pitch, City Softball
League.
Games will tentatively be
played one night a week in
dlesthe same time given for
Wahtonka's Wilson, who was
credited with first place in
that event. Although Maureen
finished second only by mili
seconds, her finish in the
hurdles was good for a school
record and a new personal
best in that event for the
second time this year. Healy
had not run the hurdle event
until the Morrow County
Invitational earlier this
month, when she set a school
record in her first official
outing.
Healy also earned second
place points in the high jump,
clearing the bar at 5-3, an inch
lower than Arlington's Bailey.
In boys' competition, Ione's
Robin LaRue took second in
the 1 10 hurdles in 16.5 seconds,
a half-second behind Wasco
County's Hiedeman, while
Cardinal teammate Gregg
Rietmann soared 11 feet to
four hits, including a home run
by McCormick, good for four
runs. But from that point on,
Cardinal moundsman Kevin
McCabe held the Eagles
hitless.
The Redbirds two hits were
singles by Dan McElligott and
Kevin McCabe. In the bottom
of the seventh. Cardinal catch
er Dennis Stefani came within
feet of breaking Lavelle's
string of 42 scoreless innings,
when he drilled a long drive
almost to the swimming pool
fence, only to be picked off by
an Eagle fielder.
In the second game, Condon
led 2-1 going into the third
inning, when Peck drilled a
homer to tie the score. Mustag
batters had a field day in the
fourth, when 14 Heppner
hitters got a chance at the
plate, and half were walked. A
total of eight runs were scored
in that inning, half of them
driven by Rick Cole, who
made two trips to the plate,
good for a double and a single.
Other successful Heppner
hitters in the second game
were Lionel Wood, who tagged
a double, and singles by Mike
Stookey, Ken Stookey and
Doug Holland.
The game marked Doug
Holland's first varsity start as
a Mustang pitcher and was,
consequently, his first win.
Holland pitched 4 and one
third innings, giving up two
hits, striking out two and
walking five. Bier came in to
relieve Holland, getting the
last two outs of the game.
The wins brought Heppner's
season record to 5-3. with a 2-1
mark in league play.
