HHS softball team splits with Rangers
By Petra Elguexabal
The Heppner High School
varsity softball team traveled to
Du fur on Saturday, April 4. The
Mustangs split with the lady
Rangers.
Heppner got off to a slow start
with their bats and struggled
offensively through the first
game. Du fur came out with a
quick two runs in the first.
The Mustangs didn't get their
first base hit until the fourth
inning by Christy Kenny. In the
sixth and seventh inning, the
Mustangs started to get runners
on the bases. They finally scored
three rtins in the top of the
seventh but it was too little, too
late compared to the eight runs of
the Rangers.
Jenny Johnson of Dufur pitched
the first game with 13 strike outs.
In the second game the
Mustangs started off quite a bit
better.
They started making
contact and getting hits a lot
sooner and their defense was
stronger with fewer errors than in
the first game.
Dufur came out with a new
pitcher, but she was not as fast
nor as consistent as the first
pitcher.
The Heppner girls
should have been able to hit off
her right away, but it took time
for them to adjust.
Mustang pitcher Janelle Healy,
pitched both games.
In the third inning Heppner
scored two runs. In the fourth
inning the Mustangs took the
lead 5-3 and kept the lead
throughout the game. Heppner
won 7-5.
HHS softball team beats LaGrande
By Petra Elguezabal
On Tuesday, April 8, the
Heppner High School softball
team bettered their record to 4-4,
winning both games of a
doubleheader against the La
Grande JVs here in Heppner.
Janelle Healy pitched the first
game and Leah Denton pitched
the second. The Heppner girls
hit the ball well and their defense
seemed to be pretty solid.
The Mustangs won the first
game eight to five and in the
second 10-runned the Tigers 16-6
in the sixth inning.
The following Saturday
Heppner traveled to La Grande
for another doubleheader. These
games didn't go as well for the
Mustangs as the first two.
Healy pitched the first game.
The Mustangs had only three
hits the entire first game. Petra
Elguezabal had a triple, Juana
Elguezabal had a double and
Chnsty Kenny had a single.
The Tigers hit the ball well
throughout the entire game.
Heppner had 10 errors. The poor
offense and defense o f the
Mustangs led to a 6-4 loss.
Kathleen
Greenup
started
pitching the second game; she
went four and two thirds o f an
inning when Healy came in to
relive her. In this second game
Heppner had eight hits and eight
errors, enough for a 12-9 win.
The Mustangs' record is now 5-
5. They started their league play
on Tuesday, April 14, against
Umatilla at home. On Friday,
April 17, they have a-non league
game in Hermiston against the

Public Affairs Center, San Diego
After deploying overseas for six
months, Sailors and Marines
aboard the amphibious assault
ship
USS Comstock
did
something extraordinary; they
invited family members and to
sail on the last leg of their
journey to San Diego.
Heppner's Rodger J. Amtt asked
his father-in-law to come along
for the ride and experience life
aboard a Navy ship. Navy Petty
Officer 2nd Class Amtt, the 30-
year-old son of Rodger and
Sandra Amtt of Heppner,
enjoyed having his father-in-law
aboard for the last week of the
deployment.
"The cruise was-great. The
Tigers get a better understanding
o f what actually happens day to
day and experience some of our
regular training," Amtt said.
Amtt is a hospital corpsman
who assists Navy doctors and
tends to the health care of the

Tigers are the guests of ship's
crew members or embarked
Marines that nde from the last
port-of-call
to the ship's
homeport.
Tigers boarded the 16,000-ton
Comstock at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii to make the 3,000-mile
tnp back to Southern California.
Amtt's father-in-law, Edson,
described what being a Tiger
aboard Comstock was like.
"The cruise was very enjoyable.
It was good to see the ship in
transit and not as a tour in port,"
Edson said.
Edson said that he feels that
Tiger Cruises are excellent ways
to show . what Sailors and
Marines do while at sea.
"A Tiger Cruise helps family
members
have
a
better
understanding of what the crew
member actually goes through. It
gave more understanding of how
to support the family and the
crew member," Edson said.
The 340 officers and Sailors of
Comstock, along with a 450 man
Marine battalion from the 13th
Marine Expeditionary Unit, had
returned from the Arabian Gulf
after participating in Operation
Southern Watch, enforcing U.N.
sanctions against Iraq.
Petty Officer Amtt knows
inviting family and friends on
Tiger Cruises is a great way to
demonstrate what the Navy does
while at sea.
"Tiger Cruises build a better
understanding (of a Sailor's job)

basis and what the Navy is
about," said Amtt, an 11-year
Navy veteran.
The Tiger Cruise left a lasting
memory for Amtt's father-in-law
