M ustangs fall to Prospectors 2-1
By Jim Kindle
The Heppner Mustangs fell to the
defending state champion Grant
Union Prospectors for the second
consecutive year, 2-1 in dramatic
fashion Friday, May 24 in John Day.
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. The Mustangs mounted a ral
ly in the top of the second when,
with two out, sophomore second
baseman. 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. Devin
drove a ball to deep right as right
fielder J.D. Wood, who made a div
ing catch earlier to save some
Mustang runs, fell at the wall to
make a spectacular grab of Devin’s
ball, ending the Heppner rally.
Kindle began the bottom of the
deciding inning by fanning the first
batter in three pitches. The next hit
ter, however, walked in four pitches.
A single down the third base line and
another walk loaded the bases. Kin
dle responded to the pressure by

A program sponsored by the lone
Cardinal Club gave students in

The program started just before

board from station to station as the
students read books. Rewards at
each station included tootsie pops,
pencils, bookmarkers, seashells and
fun fruits. Twenty-one students com
pleted the entire trip across the ocean
and were rewarded with a button and
a movie and popcorn party.
Students in the fifth and sixth
grade were required to read 200
pages in order to move paper
baseballs around a baseball diamond
bulletin board. Prizes at each base
on the diamond included pencils,
tootsie pops, pop and McDonald cer
tificates. Fifteen students made it to
home base and were rewarded with
a Skipper’s meal certificate and en
try into a drawing.
Students were also rewarded for
visiting the lone public library.
