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.

In a quiet country graveside
Where the gentle breezes blow
Lies the one we loved and lost
One year ago.
Her resting place we visit
And put flowers there with care
But no one knows the heartache
As we Turn and leave her there.
We think o f her in silence
And often speak her name
But all we have are memories
And her picture in a frame.
Forever loved and sadly missed
by your family.
