ASTORIA FORD BLANKS BLACK SOX
In a pair of games featuring a lot of younger players, the Astoria Ford Fishermen swept a doubleheader against visiting Oregon City, winning 7-0 and 11-0 in a pair of 5-inning games.
With several seniors resting and leadoff man Brent Culver not in the batting order, some up-and-coming Fishermen got a chance to shine.
Junior-to-be Sam Johnson started in center field in game one, going 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles and a run scored. In the second game, Johnson donned the catchers gear but the heavier burden in the field had no effect at the plate. Johnson had three more hits with his third double, completing a perfect 5-for-5 day at the plate.
Hans Lund pitched a two-hit shutout in game two for the victory. The Fishermen turned three double plays in the first three innings.
Jordan Poyer overcame a shaky first inning to toss a 2-hit, 5-inning shutout in game one. Poyer threw a lot of pitches in the first inning, walking two batters and going to 3-ball counts on two others, but the sophomore righthander got a strikeout and tagged out a runner trying to steal to end the threat, then retired eight of the next nine batters he faced with five strikeouts.
The Fishermen improved to 12-2 for the summer and return to North Coast District play tonight at Knappa with a 6:00 p.m. contest.
