Heppner traveled to John Day to get revenge for last season’s spec tacular two-out, bottom of the seventh, game-winning home run which propelled the Prospectors for ward for the eventual 1990 cham pionship. On the mound for Hepp ner was junior standout Jim Kindle (9-2). The Prospectors put their ace on the mound, senior Jeff Graham 9-1. The Mustangs grabbed the early psychological advantage with Kindle fanning the first six batters he fac ed, and retired the first 11 John Day hitters.

Scott Coe, rifled a double to right center, and moved to third on junior catcher, Jason Britt’s in field single to short. Heppner failed to score as the next hitter was retired. The only Heppner run came with two out in the top of the third when senior Doug Devin launched a 1-0 fast ball far over the left field wall for an exhilarating 1-0 Mustang lead. Kindle continued to baffle the No. 1 ranked Prospectors with a mixture of smoking fast balls and twisting curves through the fifth; however. Kindle was konked on the elbow at the plate in the top of the fifth, but remained in the game. Though not visibly hurt. Kindle lost a little of his effectiveness in the bottom of the sixth when John Day senior catcher, Rob Gubser drove in the tying run with Grant Union’s hardest hit ball of the day, a line drive double to left center. Deadlocked 1-1, both teams settled in for an exciting seventh inning. Freshman Rick Koffler pinch-hit to lead off the top of the seventh. With a 1-1 count Koffler offered at a Graham fastball and delivered a swinging-bunt single. The speedy freshman. Kevin Payne, was placed at first as a pinch-runner by Hepp ner coach Mark Dowdy. Senior center fielder Cory Grabeel squared around with a perfect sacrifice bunt, moving Payne to second. With the go-ahead run at second, and one out, it brought the top of the order in senior shortstop. Bobby Krein. Krein lifted a ball to centerfield that the centerfielder settled under and caught. In a gambling move, Payne tagged at second and advanced to third as a result of a wide throw by F |) [ P r l i E C center fielder Jason Kehrberg Now with the go-ahead run on third, Doug Devin stepped to the plate.
