Playing for second place
in the Cowapa League, the
Seaside and Astoria base-

of hits and runs in a regu-
lar season finale Saturday
at Tapiola Park.
With four lead changes
in six innings, the Gulls
finally emerged victorious,
14-7.
Seaside finishes 7-5
overall, 6-5 in league play.
Despite the shortened sea-
son, it’s the first time the
Gulls have finished with a
winning record since 2011
(13-11), and the first win-
ning record in league play
since 2007 (8-7).
First-year Seaside coach
Brett Wolfe, who had 494
career wins at North Med-
ford, picked up career vic-

Both teams had seven
hits, but the Gulls took
advantage of 11 Asto-
ria errors and 13 walks by
five different Fishermen
pitchers.
For Seaside, Lawson
Talamantez and Justin Mor-
ris combined to strike out
nine with six walks.
Trailing 7-6 after five
innings, the Gulls scored
two in the sixth and tacked
on six runs in the seventh.
Tanner Kraushaar and
Aedyn Cook were the only
two players to have two hits
for Seaside, while Kaleb
Bartel scored four runs, and
Kraushaar and Talamantez
drove in three runs apiece.
Astoria had doubles
from Hunter Ficken, Con-
nelly Fromwiller, Aiden
Giles and Tony Tumbarello.
The Gulls and Fisher-

season, Seaside winning
