Mustangs win two at District
By Rick Paullus
The Heppner Mustang base­
ball team won two games at the
District 7 2A tournament on Sat­
urday, May 18 at The Dalles, tak­
ing the second seed into the state
playoffs. They beat the Wahtonka
Eagles, 11 -6, in the first game and
followed that up with a 9-0 win
over the third-ranked Culver Bull­
dogs behind the no-hit pitching of
senior Michael McCabe.
Condon won the first game,
3-1, in eight innings over the Bull­
dogs to take the top seed and will
host the Knappa Loggers in the
first round. The Mustangs will
travel to Regis to take on the de­
fending champion and number-
one ranked Rams on Wednesday,
May 22.
The Mustangs, now 21 and 6
on the year, spotted the Eagles a
2-0 lead before getting their of­
fense going in the top of the sec­
ond inning. Travis Bellamy singled,
Kelly Paullus sacrificed him to
second. Josh Winters and Luke
Murray walked, Stefan Matheny
was hit by a pitch to score a run
and Michael McCabe doubled
down the third baseline to score
two more and give the Mustangs
a 3-2 lead. *
They added three more in the
third when Bellamy walked,
Paullus reached on an error, Win­
ters had a sacrifice bunt, Murray
walked, Chuy Elguezabal was hit
by a pitch to score one, Matheny
had an RBI single and Brad
Adams walked to score another
run and make it 6-2.
The Mustangs tacked on an­
other three runs in the fourth
when Paullus doubled. Winters
and Murray walked, Paullus and
Winters scored on wild pitches
and Murray scored as Elguezabal
grounded out.
The Eagles scored single runs
in the fourth and fifth, but the
Mustangs came back with a run
in the sixth as Paullus tripled and
scored on a bunt by Winters.
The Eagles wouldn't go away
though. Scoring two runs in the
bottom of the sixth, they had the
bases loaded, but Paullus picked
off the runner at first for the third
out to get the Mustangs out of a
jam.
The Mustangs scored their fi­
nal run in the seventh when
McCabe singled, Adams and Bil­
ly Gates walked and Bellamy
grounded out to score McCabe.
Gates pitched a perfect sev­
enth inning as the Mustangs took
the win, giving them another game.

After a call to order led

business. Things to discuss
included who would do the

about a Jew ish girl during WWII

diary, it was a true story written
when the main character had
grown older.
