T
he Seaside baseball team opened
their spring break with a big 9-5
victory over Cascade March 24 at
Broadway Field.
And all it took was one big inning for the
Gulls, who rallied from a 5-1 deficit with eight
runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to record
their second victory of the season.
Cascade outhit the Gulls (9 to 7), but the
Cougars also committed four errors, while Sea-
side played flawless defense. Offensively, nine
different players scored runs for the Gulls.
Brent Walsh got the start on the mound for
the Gulls, who trailed 4-0 going into the bottom
of the third.
Ashton Boyd scored on a single by Duncan
Thompson for Seaside’s first run.
After a scoreless fourth, the Gulls erupted
for their biggest inning of the young season.
The rally started with one out, when Payton
Westerholm reached first on a dropped ball-
third strike.
The Gulls followed with three consecutive
singles, from Thompson, Walsh and Dawson
Blanchard. Otto Hoekstre was hit by a pitch
and Gage McFadden drew a walk, and Isaiah
Jantes singled to right.
Hoekstre scored on a wild pitch and Mc-
Fadden sprinted home on an error to give Sea-
side a 7-5 lead. Jantes later scored on a wild
pitch, and Astor Landwehr came in on a single
by Thompson for the final run.

rest, as he entered the game in the fourth and

In her sophomore season of
track at Occidental College in Los
Angeles, the Seaside High School
graduate is off to a strong start.
Kilday won the 400-meter hur-
dles at the Redlands Invitational
last week in 1:05.64.
Earlier, Kilday won the 300-me-
ter hurdles race in the Occidental/
Pomona-Pitzer Dual Meet Feb.
11, in a personal best 46.03, and

the Rossi Relays Feb. 25.

rallied with a six-run sixth inning.
In addition to a double earlier in the game,
Dylan Meyer had a run-scoring single; Brent
Walsh had a double and a two-run single in
the sixth; and a fly ball by Otto Hoekstre that
was aided by the wind down the right field line
scored three runs for the Gulls.
Meyer had a leadoff single in the bottom of
the seventh, but was left stranded as the Rang-
ers were able to escape with the win.
Seaside pitcher Gage McFadden provided
solid middle-inning relief for the Gulls.

LADY GULLS POST FIRST WIN
By Gary Henley
Seaside Signal
The Seaside softball team snapped a three-
game losing skid and recorded their first win of
the season March 24, a wild 15-14 victory over
Cascade at Broadway Field.
It was the second loss in a row for the Cou-
gars, who dropped a 13-12 decision to Molalla
just the day before.
The Gulls opened their season at home
March 16 against Molalla, in a single game at
Broadway Field.
And the Gulls got off to a great start, scoring
two runs in their first at-bat, but the Indians ral-
lied with eight runs over the final five innings
for an 8-2 victory over Seaside.
Molalla sophomore pitcher Analiz Wickham
was the player of the day for the Indians, as she
went the distance in the circle, allowing just two
hits with 13 strikeouts and one walk. Wickham
threw 90 pitches for the complete-game win.
Alyssa Goin and Sidney Owsley had the
only two hits for Seaside, while Sequoia Shand
drove in both runs.
Emily Evanson and Alicia Schultz each had
two hits for Molalla.
Seaside returned to action a week later,
when the Gulls hosted Corbett in a nonleague
game March 23.
The Cardinals held a 3-1 lead after two in-
nings, then scored six in the fourth on their way
to an 11-1, five-inning win.
Tessa McAllister highlighted Corbett’s big
inning with a home run, while Lindsey Flegel
added a double.
Corbett pitchers Abby Fritz and Kara Moritz
combined to strike out seven, with four walks
and three hits allowed.
Seaside’s Jetta Ideue got her first start of the
year, and allowed 10 hits with 10 strikeouts and
six walks.
Lucy Bodner had a double and scored a run
for the Gulls, while GeriAnn Klaffke drove in
the lone Seaside run.

Gulls host Ice-Breaker
By Gary Henley
Seaside Signal
The Astoria and Seaside track
teams, among others, “broke the
ice” on the 2017 season March 15,
in the annual Seaside Ice-Breaker
Meet at Seaside High School.
Coming off the recently com-
pleted basketball season, the Gulls
were nowhere near full strength,
while certain events were not run
because of poor weather condi-
tions.
It still gave the Fishermen and
Gulls a chance for some of their
2017 hopefuls to stretch their legs
for a jump on the new season.
A few familiar names came
through with the top times.
Astoria’s sister tandem of Gra-
cie and Natalie Cummings finished
first and second, respectively in the
100 meters; while Seaside senior
Juneau Meyer won the 100 and 400
meters.
Seaside’s foursome of Wesley
Corliss, Levi Card, James Kennedy
and Meyer won the 400-meter re-
lay in 47.59 seconds, while senior
Phoenix Johnson — who competed
for Clatskanie last year — made
a successful debut with the Gulls’
track team, winning the boys’ long
jump with a leap of 19 feet, three-
and-a-half inches, a personal best.
