Echo Tigers split double header with Prospectors
EO MEDIA GROUP
SOFTBALL
In a 3A Eastern Oregon
League doubleheader on Fri-
day, the Echo softball team
had a couple of slow starts,
but it rallied to salvage one of
them.
Against the Grant Union
Prospectors, Echo spotted

second. Echo rallied from a

win 9-8, but couldn’t muster
the bats in an 8-2 loss in the
nightcap.
Echo (7-4, 4-2) retains
sole possession of second
place behind still undefeat-
ed-in-league Vale. Grant
Union sits in fourth place.
Monique Montoya was
1-for-4 with three RBIs and
Samantha McQuown was
3-for-4 out of the eight hole.
McKenzie Gonzales contin-
ued to pitch well, throwing all
seven innings and allowing
eight runs, four earned, on
eight hits and fanned 11 and
walked six.
GU sent 10 batters to the

Blackburn learned Swarat
was leaning toward NNU, he
added his support.
“I was all for it,” Black-
burn said. “He came to (assis-
tant coach) Sean (Williams)
and I, and both of us know the
coach over there. He thought
about it more than I (did) be-
fore I went to college. He was
like, ‘Hey, I’m going to go
check it out. What do I need
to say to the coach?’ All these
lead to 5-2. After GU extend-
ed the lead to 7-2 in the sec-
ond, Erika Parks scored on a
wild pitch in the third and was
followed shortly thereafter by
Gonzales, who scored on an
error to make the count 7-4.

pushed across the go-ahead
run in the top half of the sev-
enth, but Ray walked with
one out and came around on
Christopher’s two-out walk-
off single to hand Echo a 9-8
come-from-behind victory.

he’s really thought about
this.’ That’s what makes him
a great person — he’s thought
out, he’s planned.”
Swarat, a cross country
runner and saxophonist in
the pep band, was thrilled
when NNU gave him the
opportunity to pursue both
interests. In his junior year,
Swarat visited Nampa,
where his sister is currently
a student, but the cross coun-
try team was at a meet and
the coaches were unavail-
able. The counselors and
professors passed his name

Echo got its two when
Christopher scored on a

error, allowing McCarty to
scamper home.
