By Rick Paullus
The H eppner M ustangs
opened their 1998 Columbia Ba­
sin Conference baseball season
with a doubleheader sweep of the
Stanfield Tigers, winning the first
game, 16-2, and the second game,
13-3. Both games went just five
innings, due to the 10-run rule.
Senior Chris Anthony started
on the mound in the first game
and shut down the Tigers for the
first three innings, allowing no
hits and facing just 10 batters.
In the meantime, the Mustangs
jumped on Stanfield’s pitching,
scoring two runs in the first and
third innings, and seven runs in
the second with five more in the
fourth.
Junior Derek Gunderson led
o ff the first with a walk and
moved to second on junior Shane
Matheny’s single. After Gunder­
son stole third, he scored on jun­
ior Tim Dickenson’s sacrifice fly
to centerfield. M atheny then
scored as the Tigers were able to
turn a double play to end the in­
ning.
In the second inning, senior
Tim Sumner hit a ball off the right
field wall that got hung up behind
the boards and was awarded a
ground rule double. Junior Bias
Elguezabal then singled to right
and freshman Cory Bennetto hit
a drive off the fence in right-cen­
ter for a long single to score Sum­
ner.
W ith one out, G underson
singled to load the bases.
Matheny singled to score Elgue­
zabal and Bennetto scored on a
passed ball. Dickenson walked
and Gunderson scored on the wild
pitch. Anthony hit into a fielder’s
choice to score M atheny and
Sum ner singled to drive in
Dickenson. Anthony closed out
the scoring as he came in on a sto­
len base by Sumner.
In the third inning, Gunderson
walked on four straight pitches.
Matheny then hit the day’s only
home run by hammering a line
drive through the wind over the
fence in left field, to make the
score 11-0.
The Tigers then scored their
two runs in the top of the fourth
as a fly ball was lost in the sun
for a double and a single brought
the runner home. With two outs,
the Tigers scored the second run
on a bases-loaded walk.
In the bottom o f the fourth,
Bennetto led off with a walk, stole
second and went to third as
Gunderson got on base with an
error. Matheny then walked and
Dickenson walked with the bases
loaded to score B ennetto.
Gunderson then came home on a
passed ball as Alan Gribskov
walked. Matheny and Dickenson
scored as Sumner got to first on
an error by the pitcher. Elgue­
zabal closed the scoring by dou­
bling home Gribskov.
Sophomore Dylan Pettyjohn
came in to pitch the fifth inning
for the Mustangs and allowed an
infield hit which was erased as
Gribskov threw the Tiger out try­
ing to steal second. Stanfield got
a runner to third, but Pettyjohn
struck out the last batter to end
the game, with the Mustangs win­
ning, 16-2.
The Mustangs were led at the
plate by Matheny going 2-4 with
three RBIs and a home run.
Gunderson was 1-4 and scored
four runs. Sumner was 2-4 with a
double and three RBIs. Elgue­
zabal was 2-4 with a double and

two-thirds strong innings, with
relief help from Sumner, and

In game two, Stanfieldjumped
out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the
first inning. In the Mustangs’ half
of the inning, Matheny led off
with a walk, Gunderson singled
and Dickenson bunted them over
to second and third. Gribskov
then doubled to score both run­
ners. A nthony singled and
Gribskov scored on Elguezabal’s
groundout. Anthony scored on an
infield single by Sumner to put
the Mustangs up 4-1 after one in­
ning.
Stanfield pulled to 4-3 in the
top of the third, but the Mustangs
scored two runs of their own to
make it 6-3. Elguezabal singled
with one out, followed by a
Sumner single. Zach Fabian then
doubled to score Elguezabal.

choice and Anthony walked to

score Dickenson to end the game

on the mound to pick up the win,
allowing four Stanfield hits.

plate, going 3-3, with a triple and
three RBIs. Elguezabal went 2-3
