13-year-old Babe Ruth All Stars win District 6 tournament
by Rick Paullus
The Columbia Tri-County 13-
year-old allstars won five games
in three days to capture the
District 6 tournament to advance
to the North Oregon State
Tournament in Pendleton July
21-25.
. The Tri-County team opened
the district tournament with a
win
over
the
Pendleton
Americans, 11 -1, in five innings
on Sunday, July 16. Nick
Christman went the distance,
pitching a one-hitter while
striking out five and walking six.
Christman also led the way at
the plate, going 3-for-4 with a
double. Shawn Dirksen and
Kevin Sands each went 2-for-3
and Josh Gutierrez went 2-for-4
with a double.
Tri-County then played Blue
Mountain immediately following
the Pendleton game and lost 8-3.
Tri-County was down just 3-2
going into the seventh but gave
up five runs and could not
overcome the deficit. Sands and
Dirksen each went l-for-2 and
Jode Coil was l-for-3.
Tri-County played the
Pendleton Americans again the
next night and broke open a close
game, scoring 14 runs in the final
three innings, including seven in
the seventh to win, 20-6. Tri-
County banged out 21 hits, led
by Jared Little's 4-for-4 with a
double. Coil went 3-for-5 while
Christman, Roy Nunez and
Trevor Baros each went 2-for-2.
Dirksen went 2-for-3 and Giz
Aguilar went 2-for-4.
The win set up a rematch with
Blue Mountain the next night
with Tri-County needing to win
two to advance to the state
tournament.
Tri-County got solid pitching
from Christman to take an 8-4
win to set up a one-game
championship. Gutierrez went 3-
for-4 and Dirksen went 2-for-2 to
lead the way at the plate.
The championship game didn't
start out very good for Tri-
County as Blue Mountain scored
six runs in the top of the first.
"But Tri-County didn't give up,
.scoring four in the second and
5 two in the third to.be it at .6A
then exploded for six more in the
fourth for a 12-6 lead. Tri-
County ended it in the sixth as
Kory Pallus doubled with the
bases loaded to make it 16-6 and
put the 10-run rule into effect.
After a shaky start, Dirksen
went the distance, not allowing
any runs and just two hits and
striking out five. Baros went 2-
for-3 and Christman l-for-2.
Members of the team included
Jode Coil, Josh Gutierrez, David
Flynn and Kory Paullus from

"Music in the Parks" at Imgon
July 24, featuring popular
entertainer Tim Cundell, proved
to be a memorable evening.
Minutes before the concert
began, as the audience was
admiring the newly-constructed
stage, a big white bus pulled up,
and visible through the windows
was a huge banner which read
'Tone Loves Tim Cundell." A
second banner read "Happy 50th
Birthday, Tim."
They decorated the front of the
stage with the banners and a
four-foot tall "50" with miniature
lights, which became very
dramatic as twilight fell.
The crowd from lone spread
blankets, picnic lunches and
heartily
celebrated
Tim's
birthday.
During
Tim's
intermission, the Irrigon Stokes
Landing Seniors kitchen band
performed, to the surprised
delight of attendees.
During the evening,
appreciation for the stage was
expressed to Wes Wise, John
Wenholz and Fred Clark. Besides
providing heavy equipment for
excavating and back-filling, Wes
and sons Jason and Jeff did a lot
of work including welding. Fred
Clark contributed labor in
forming and other areas, and
John Wenholz and son Jeff
braved strong gusts of wind on
Saturday as they placed the 40'
steel beams that support the roof.
The stage is a marvelous
contribution to the park and the
community and will be used by
many entities throughout the
coming years.
Also recognized during the
evening were mayors Betty Gray
of lone and Linda Fox of Irrigon.
Tim's variety of music was
greatly enjoyed and appreciated
and the concert was completed
by a beautiful sunset over the
Columbia River.
