Riverside downs
Heppner 1-0
By Bob Krein
On Tuesday, May 8, the Heppner
Mustangs traveled to Boardman to
face the number 1 ranked Riverside
Pirates.
The Mutangs had ace Russell Britt
on the mound who pitched the en­
tire game and allowed only one hit.
Britt struck out 12 and walked only
one.
Riverside’s only run came in the
fourth inning when Mike Tallman
reached first on a single and stole se­
cond. With two outs a Mustang er­
ror allowed him to score. The
Mustangs had base runners in every
inning except one but failed to get
a runner across home plate. The
Mustangs had five hits, including
doubles by Eric Connor, Tom Ken­
ny and Slater Mitchell.
The Mustangs are now 8 and 3 in
league play and 9 and 5 overall.

was a personal record by two inches.

seconds. Stefani, a freshman, did not
finish the 3000 after suffering an
asthma attack in mid-race.
On the boy’s side, no Cardinals
advanced to the state meet. Gabe
Garcia finished a heartbreaking

top three finishers were in a near
photo finish. Garcia had the fastest
qualifying time going into the finals.
He also finished sixth in the 200.
Mike Garrett ran to a fifth place
finish (4:47.41) in the 1500 for the
other boy’s points.
Several other Cardinals had good
performances but didn’t get into the
score column. Mac Lovett ran 11.85

in the discus but didn’t make the
finals. Chrystal Minster set personal
records in the 200 and long jump but
