TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 2, 1993 Mustangs continue drive to state championship, beat Knappa 6-5 By Jeremy Maddern The Heppner Mustangs con tinued their drive to a state cham pionship with a second round win over the Knappa Loggers 6-5 yesterday at Riverside. The Mustangs looked as they would take control of the game early as they jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, behind two solid doubles from juniors Sam Sumner and Rick Koffler. Koffler’s double scored Sumner and then Koffler scored after a Knappa error put sophomore Trent Hughes on base. Jim Tellechea got the start for the Mustangs on the mound in the bottom of the first, but ran into some control problems as he loaded the bases with walks and one out. Tellechea then gave up a two RBI single by Russ Tiedeman to tie the score. Jered Wicklund came in relief and managed to get the third out but not before Knappa pulled ahead 4-2 after the first inning. The Heppner bats went cold in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, while their defense held tight allowing the Loggers to score one run in the fifth on a questionable balk making the score 5-2. Wicklund allowed only two hits in the innings and hit one. Things looked bad for the Mustangs but they fought back in the top of the sixth inning when Hughes started the rally with a single followed by a walk from Jason Hanna and another single by Jim Tellechea. With only one out, Steve Wilson delivered a base hit with the bases loaded and sent two home for a 4-5 score. The Mustang defense held tight in the bottom of the sixth with Wicklund striking out two. Still trailing by one in the top of the seventh Sam Sumner delivered a single with one out and Rick Koffler, the potential winning run, was intentionally walked. Trent Hughes came up to the plate and delivered a solid two RBI double to give the Mustangs a 6-5 lead and the win and Wicklund struck out the side to preserve the win for the Mustangs. Wicklund struck out eight for the Mustangs and allowed only three hits. Koffler was 3-2 with two solid doubles while Sumner and Hughes were both 4-2. Hepp ner had eight hits for the game. The Mustangs advanced to play Harrisburg at Riverside at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. Harrisburg beat Glendale 9-0.
