The Riverside Pirates rode
pitcher Chris Huxoll's back to
a 4-1 win over the Heppner
Mustangs, April 18. Huxoll col
lected 10 strikeouts, while sur
rendering only four walks on
his way to a one-hitter.
Heppner pitcher Donnie
Pointer was great in the mid
dle, but shaky at the beginning
and end of the game. After
walking the based loaded in the
first inning, he finished the
game giving up only five hits,
while collecting six strikeouts.
Brian Koffler's shot off the
center field wall in the bottom
of the third inning broke up
H uxoll's no-hitter. Ryan
Nevela knocked in Shane
Matheny from third base for
the Mustang's lone run in the
bottom of the fourth inning,
but that was the end of Hepp-
ner's offense for the day.
The Pirates took a 2-1 lead at
the top of the fourth inning and
never looked back. Riverside
loaded up the bases again in
the seventh inning, but could
only muster two runs.
Shortstop Eric Schonbachler,
catcher Nevela and right fielder
Colin Anderson had good days
in the field, helping Pointer's
cause.
The M ustangs continue
league play Saturday, April 27,
with a double-header in Stan
field, and next week with a
game against Pilot Rock in Pilot
Rock on Tuesday, April 30. A
double-header will be played in
Heppner against Umatilla on
Saturday, May 4.
Umatilla Vikings beat Mustangs
By Ben Ewing
The Umatilla Vikings got a
strong outing from Kyle Fred
rickson on the hill to top the
Heppner Mustangs, - 5-2, in
league compeition, April 16.
Fredrickson threw a one-hitter
and compiled nine strikeouts
by the end of the game.
The Mustangs' hit came from
the bat of Donnie Pointer in the
top of the second inning. An
RBI by Josh Coiner in the first
inning and an error accounted
for the Mustangs' scoring on
the day.
Pitcher Eric Schonbachler
had a fine day himself, striking
out nine and giving up only
three hits through seven inn
ings of work. The Heppner
defense was suspect, amassing
five errors for the game, four in
the third inning.
The Mustangs are 0-3 in
league play after losing both
games of a double-header
against Pilot Rock on April 13.

Two local businesses join forces
Two Heppner businesses,
Twice upon a time... and Talk-
N-Tops, have combined ser
vices to bring personalized
clothing to the area. With the
Xerox laser copier at Twice
upon a time..., Doris and Dan
Brosnan, owners, can create
transfers of photographs,
graphic design and logos. "If it
fits on the copy machine
screen, it can probably be
copied," said Doris Brosnan.
The Hollomons, owners of
Talk-N-Tops, have the transfer
press.
"The most common price is
$11.75 for a standard finished
t-shirt, but children's shirts will
cost less and custom-size and
heavier weight shirts will be
more," said Brosnan. "Sw eat
shirts and hats are also
available. Prices on large orders
will be discounted and this
