Mustangs give all but lose both in doubleheader
The Heppner Mustangs
gave the Riverside Pirates all
they could handle, but ended
up on the short end in both
games of a doubleheader in
Columbia Basin Conference
baseball action at Boardman
Saturday.
The Pirates prevailed over
Heppner 3-1 and 14-13 as the
Mustangs slumped to a 2-5
season's record. Only the first
game of the twinbill was a
league counter.
Combined with Heppner's
league-opening 8-6 loss to
Echo at Echo Tuesday, April
5. the Mustangs stood at 0-2 in
league games.
In the opener against River
side, the Pirates' Harold
Leighton bested Heppner's
Jim McConnell in a pitcher's
duel.
Riverside used four hits in
the first inning to push across
a pair of runs and added a
single run in the sixth to hold a
3- 0 lead going into the seventh
inning. But the Mustangs
came to life when McConnell
broke up Leighton's no-hitter
with a leadoff single in the
seventh.
Stan Sporseen and Mark
Way then walked to load the
bases with no outs. Geanup
hitter Jay Hayes sent a Leigh
ton pitch to the rightfield wall,
only to be picked off at the
fence by Riverside's Rich Gil
bertson. Had Gilbertson not
made the catch, Hayes would
likely have had a grand slam
home run and the Mustangs
4- 3 lead. Instead, it went in the
books as a sacrifice fly and
two groundouts later, the Pi
rates had the win.
McConnell scattered eipht
hits, walked no batters, and
was backed up with an error
less defense in the game.
In the second game, Hep
pner erupted for 10 runs in the
third inning for a 13-4 lead,
"but poor defense and numer
ous walks allowed the host
Pirates tos come back and
steal the win," said Coach
Brent Eggers.
Heppner had taken a 3-0
lead in the first inning when
Hayes singled in Sporseen.
and Chuck Coffman's two-run
double scored Mark Way and
Hayes.
Riverside came back with
four runs in the second inning
on four walks and four errors
to take a brief lead. But
Heppner roared back with its
10-run inning in the third to
take a commanding lead of its
own.
Mark Way doubled to lead
off the inning and after two
flyouts. the Mustangs began a
tremendous rally. Travis
Hyatt. McConnell and Hayes
all had singles in the rally and
Bruce Way put a grand slam
homer over the left field wall
to cap the scoring. Three
errors, one walk and one hit
by -pitch contributed to the big
inning.
However, Riverside utilized
numerous hits and walks to
score five runs in the third and
fourth innings to take a 14-13
advantage.
Heppner stranded two base
runners in the sixth and final
inning when its last two bat
ters struck out to end a final
scoring threat.
Hyatt took the loss in relief
of starter Mark Way, while
Jeff Orr came on to pitch the
final inning in impressive
fashion, striking out the side
after an opening walk.
Hayes had two hits and two
RBI's in the game.
"McConnell pitched a great
game and we played excellent
defense in that first game,"
said Eggers. "Unfortunately,
when we pitch and play de
fense well, we hit poorly, and
vice versa. We need to gain
some consistency and find a
second pitcher."
After seven games, Hayes is
leading the team with a .333
batting average and two
homeruns. followed by Mark.
Way (.313). McConnell (.280).
Hyatt (.273) and Coffman
(.263). McConnell leads the
pitching corps with a 3.18
earned run average.
