The Yankees played host to the Mariners at Bob White Field in Pendleton on Monday, April 28. Matt Wilson got the start on the mound for the Yankees, going 3.1 innings, allow- ing three runs (one earned) on two hits with one walk while striking out five. The Yankee offense would stay quiet until the bottom of the third inning, when the Mariners would see their 2-0 lead disappear in an instant with a Darby Spivey double that scored Kord Dickenson and Matt. Darby would go on to score when Brody Ogden reached base on an error to give the Yankees their first lead of the game. The Mariners would tie it up after a lead-off hit-by-pitch scored on an RBI-single in the top of the fourth, but that would be their last glimmer of hope. Peyton Matheny would give the Yankees a lead-off base-runner after getting on base with an error in the bottom of the fourth, and he would steal home for the go-ahead run to give the Yankees the lead for the last time. Two triples, a single and an error left the Yan- kees up 8-3 by the end of the fourth. Charlie Mullins closed the game pitching 2.2 innings, allowing one run on three hits with one strikeout. Kord led the Yan- kees with two runs on three hits, joined by Matt with two runs on zero hits and one walk with four stolen bases. By the end of the night the Yankees found them- selves up 9-4 with a quality win against one of the top teams in the league. On Wednesday, April 30, the Yankees visited the Cubs at Bob White Field in Pendleton for a mid-week match-up. The Yankee’s hot bats, coupled with defen- sive struggles for the Cubs, led to a busy night for Yan- kee runners. Joel Wilson got the start on the mound, pitching 2.1 innings, giving up one run on one hit with five walks and earning six K’s along the way. With four Yankee runs scored off two singles and an error in the top of the first, the Cubs had a steep hill to climb from the drop of the hat. The Cub’s lead- off batter would reach base on a Catcher’s Interference call. He would go on to score on a wild pitch; how- ever, it was their only run in the first three innings. The Yankees would tack on two more runs in the second to make it 6-1, by way of a Kord RBI that scored Mason Haugen and a Joel RBI-double that would score Darby after he got on base with a triple. With the Yankee bats feasting, the Cubs would change pitchers after the second inning, and the Yan- kees were not ready for the change. The third inning was a 1-2-3 strikeout inning for the Yankee bats. Through three innings the Yankees had put up six runs on five hits, but the fourth inning would be a different kind of story; they would pull away, adding three runs, on zero hits in the fourth. JJ McDaniel singled to give the Yankees a lead- off runner in the top of the fifth, scoring when Peyton would reach base on an error. An error put Kord on base, and Darby would hit a single to load the bases for Teddy Bunch. Teddy hit a bases-clearing double to center field to put the Yankees up 13-3. Two singles and a Josh Montano double later, and the Yankees found them- selves up 16-3 before a dou- ble play would end the half. The Cubs needed to score several runs in the bottom of the fifth to keep the game alive, but Yankees closer, Peyton, would have none of that as he would sit them down in order, earn- ing two strikeouts along the way. Peyton finished the game with 2.2 innings pitched, giving up two runs on two walks with three strikeouts. The Yankees went into week four hosting the Ki- wanis Dodgers on Monday, May 5, at Bob White Field in Pendleton. They next vis- it the Coca-Cola Nationals on Wednesday, May 7, at Bob White Field at 6 p.m. YOUR AD COULD BE HERE!

The Yankees played error-free baseball, while the Dodgers commit- ted seven errors, contribut- ing to the lopsided score. Wednesday’s Offen- sive Explosion Against the Nationals The Yankees continued their dominance on May 7, defeating the Athena Coca-Cola Nationals (1-5) on the road at Bob White Field 21-5. They scored consistent- ly, putting up five runs in the first, four in the second, one in the third, six in the fourth, and five in the fifth, amassing 12 hits. Maddex McMasters led the team hitting with three hits, two runs and two RBIs. Matt Wilson led the team with four runs and one RBI on two hits with one strike-out and zero walks, on four plate appearances. Yes, you read that right, the speedy catcher got on base on a dropped third strike.
