The Rockets had won the first game, 11-4, with the help of three home runs. The Mustangs used the suicide squeeze to perfection as Shane Matheny bunted with two strikes to send home Cody Bellamy to tie the game at 9-9. Tim Dickenson then laid down a perfect bunt to score Derek Gunderson to give the Mustangs the wild win. The Rockets' Tyler Green threw a complete game three- hitter in game one as the Mustangs repeatedly had runners in scoring position but couldn't get the clutch hit. The Rockets used a two-run home run by Enckson in the second inning and a two-run home run by Alderman in the third to build a 5-0 lead. In the bottom of the third Matheny reached on an error, went to second on a wild pitch and advanced to third as Gunderson beat out an infield hit. Matheny then scored on another error on the short stop on a grounder by Dickenson. Alan Gribskov then doubled to left- center to drive in Gunderson. Chris Anthony then walked to load the bases with no outs but Green then settled down to record three straight stnke-outs to end the inning. The Mustangs got another run in the bottom of the fifth as Dickenson got on by an error, went to second on Gribskov's fielder's choice, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Anthony's ground-out. The Rockets' Jared Labrousse hit a three-run home run in the top of the sixth to make it a 10-3 Pilot Rock lead. The Mustangs' David Bates, who had come in to pitch in the third inning, hit a cool home run over the fence in right field. The Rockets came up with another run in the top of the seventh and the Mustangs couldn't get anything going in the bottom half and lost, 11-4. Gunderson went 2-4 for the Mustangs and Bates' home run was the only other hit. Game two saw the Rockets jump out to another 2-0 lead in the top of the first. The Mustangs got one back in the bottom half as Gunderson walked, stole second and scored on Dickenson's double down the right field line. The Rockets scored two runs in the third, three in the fourth and two more in the fifth to build a 9- 1 lead. With a bitterly cold wind blowing and rain falling, it didn't look promising for the Mustangs but the pitching o f Dickenson and Dylan Pettyjohn shut down the Rockets the rest of the way.

Abandoned by his mother as a small child, Sean grew up with a father who was too devastated to give support to his son. Sean thinks the world of his father and wants to follow in his footsteps and become a professional musician. But when his father commits suicide, Sean becomes even more withdrawn. His father's girlfriend, Shona, cannot make a connection with him. The only ones who are able to reach him are his friend Aaron, his music teacher and Shona's father. A fatal accident occurs, and Sean feels absolute hopelessness. But then Sean begins to learn of the power of forgiveness. "'Repeat Performance' says there is an answer...and the answer is Christ's absolute and unconditional forgiveness and love," says a Christian Life Center news release. For more information, call Pastor Tim Van Cleave at the Christian Life Center, 676-5581. as well to chip away at the lead, scoring two runs in the bottom of the fifth.

Remember, when you receive one of those checks, it's not a Christmas present from the State. It is, in fact, your money ... a refund of excess taxes government took from you. The kicker is a great idea. It was overwhelmingly adopted (10 to 1) by Oregon voters in 1979. The beauty of it is that it imposes a discipline on the state budgeting process. If we didn't have the kicker, you can be assured they would spend every last penny that came in over budget. The kicker has become a big issue in my debate with Lynn Lundquist. Last Friday night in Halfway, for example, the first time I appeared in a forum with him, I again pointed out that Lynn is taking credit for the return of those kicker checks without telling people he sponsored a bill which would eliminate virtually all future kicker refunds! e t r o p o l it a n HffiftlENS S e c u r it ie s , I n c . 917 W.

He said I was "180 degrees wrong" and that he had tried to "protect the kicker by putting it in the Constitution." He did nothing of the kind and he knows it. What this Kicker Slicker really tried to do was change the law by raising the refund threshold, by three and a half times, and then keep all the money collected under the threshold for his "Rainy Day Fund" < h b 2007). What he was really putting in the Constitution was his Rainy Day Fund! ( h jr 37) Your refunds would have disappeared into this Constitutional black hole. INVESTMENT CERTIFICATES, SERIES B 8 .
