choice and another base hit.
It was Pasco’s best
chance at notching a run but
a 1-2-3 double play ended
the inning and the chance at
stopping a shutout.
Hermiston cemented its
victory with nine runs in the
bottom of the fourth, high-
lighted by a three-run RBI
from Janelle Almaguer and
an RBI triple from Ashley
Cameron.
After most of the Bull-
dogs’ early runs came from
wild pitches, Greenough
was happy to see the team
get some quality at bats.
“It’s great,” she said of
Hermiston’s late efforts.
“Whenever you see pitch-
ing that isn’t as solid, it’s
kind of hard to have quality
at bats sometimes but they
went counts deep. They
waited for their pitches
and started to drive them
instead of looking to score
runs at that point and that
was exciting just to see
good hits and good at bats
happen and (have) them
work out in our favor.”
Next up for the Bull-
dogs is the Milwaukie High
School Spring Break Tour-
nament which began Mon-
day, and then a week break
before returning to play
April 6.

Weather ends Buck Track Classic early
By ERIC SINGER
STAFF WRITER
PENDLETON — For
the past few years, Mother
Nature has been quite coop-
erative on the day of the
annual Buck Track Clas-
sic at Pendleton High, grac-
ing the 20-plus area schools
in attendance with blue skies
and sunshine for a great day
of competition.
This year, however,
Mother Nature was not
quite so nice. After roughly
three hours of competing in
chilly, windy weather, the
Buck Track Classic had to
be called off early due to
inclement weather after a
heavy, steady rain shower
rolled through Pendleton
and wrecked havoc at the
track facility. The rains made
the surfaces slick and hard to
gain traction, but it also wat-
ter-logged the timing system
for the running events and
rendered it useless.
It was a disappointing end
to the day for the Buckaroo
coaches, who were not able
to fully utilize the brand-new
track surface, better-quality
jumping pits, and lights on
the field .
“We have this brand-new
facility, and it’s all a wash,”
Pendleton head track coach
John Brizendine said.
The only running events
that were completed were
the 4x100 relays, 1500 meter
run, 100 meter dash, 400
meter dash and the 100/110
meter hurdle races, and most
of the field events were able
to get through the bulk of
the flights. The meet was
roughly halfway through the
flights of the 800 meter runs
before the meet was called.
Though the competition
was not fully complete, the
Hermiston Bulldogs ended
atop both the boys and girls
team leaderboards. The
Bulldog boys scored 102
points, and led La Grande
(84.9), Heppner (54.8),
Pendleton (50.8) and Uma-
tilla (32.2). The Bulldog
girls netted 70.66 points and
finished ahead of Ontario
(61.2), Pendleton (57.86),
La Grande (49), and Cove
(37.99).
Hermiston’s top per-
formers on the day included
Tyler Rohrman (second in
100M, 12.05 seconds; first
in 110M hurdles, 15.03),
Isaac Sanchez (second in
1500M, 4:26.16; third in
400M, 54.14), Jackson
Morgan (first in high jump,
5-feet-6), Eric White (first
in javelin, 128-02), Madi-
son Wilson (first in 100M
hurdles, 15.76), and Stepha-
nie Miears (first in shot put,
37-06). The girls 4x100 relay
team of MaKaylee Young,
Elsa Torres, Madison Wilson
and Jayden Ray took first
with a time of 50.83, while
the boys 4x100 team of Jon-
athan Hinkle, Garrett Wal-
chli, Rohrman and Sanchez
finished second in 45.15.
The Heppner Mustangs
had a strong showing on
Thursday, primarily in the
middle-distance and dis-
tance runs. On the boys side,
Hunter Nichols took first in
the 1500 meters with a time
of 4:23.68 and in the 800
meters Trevor Antonucci
(2:24.62), Evan Kollman
(2:28.03) and Leo Waite
(2:28.21) finished 2-3-4.
And on the girls side, fresh-
man Madelyn Nichols fin-
ished first in the 800 meters
(2:38.15) and fourth in the
400 meters (1:06.04).
Also for the Mustangs,
Derek Howard took first in
boys shot put (43-06) and
Alex Lindsay was first in
boys triple jump (39-03.75)
Among host Pendleton’s
top finishers were Aaron
Luke (third in 100M, 12.20
seconds), Shawn Yeager
(second in high jump, 5-04),

For
Weston-McE-
wen, Jacob Speed had a
solid showing with a first

meters (52.59), the only
runner to run a sub-53 sec-
ond time, and also finished
fourth in the 100 meter dash
(12.21). On the girls side,

ond in the girls 400 meters
(1:04.17) and Katie Vescio
was fifth in the 1500 meters
(5:31.50).

comeback victory on

JOHN DAY — The
Umatilla Vikings trailed
4-2 as they came to bat in
the top of the sixth inning
but rallied for four runs and
hung on to beat Lost River
6-4 at the Iron Triangle
Tournament on Saturday.
In the sixth, back-to-
back singles from Uriel
Garcia and Seth Cranston
set up an RBI single from
Kole Keller to cut the defi-
cit to 4-3. A few pitches
later, Cranston stole home
to tie the game at 4-4. But
the tie score didn’t last
long, as a groundout by
Josh Brown scored Keller
to put the Vikings (4-1) in
front 5-4 and an RBI sin-
gle from Noah Holford
brought in an insurance run
with a 6-4 lead.

five batters, allowed only
two hits and walked four.
“She’s really just tak-

I think, and she’s trying to
do it for her sister,” Gree-
nough said. “She’s the lit-
tle sister trying to help her
out and it’s all good inten-

see her want to do that for
her sister but for her team-
mates too. She knows it’s

threw great today.”
But just as Janelle Alma-
guer held Pasco scoreless,
Hermiston couldn’t add to
its lead in the bottom of the
third, and if the Bulldogs
wanted to end this matchup
early they needed to come
out with some power in the
fourth.
However, before Herm-
iston reached the 10-run
advantage needed to end
the game after five innings,
Pasco came close to getting
on the board.
Gonzalez was the lead-
off hitter in the fourth and
