FISHERMEN TAKE TWO OF THREE

Astoria High School's long winning streak in baseball came to an end this weekend, as the Fishermen won two of three non-league games in the Portland area.

Astoria Ford split a Saturday doubleheader against Milwaukie's AAA Legion team, winning game one 3-0 behind a 3-hit shutout performance by senior pitcher Nick Bredleau. The victory extended Astoria's winning streak to 21 games, dating back to the opening Cowapa League doubleheader in the spring season.

Unfortunately, Astoria was unable to extend its streak into summer. The Fishermen took a 3-2 lead into the final inning of game two following Jordan Poyer's home run, but ended up losing 8-3 after three pitchers struggled with control, walking six around two hits in the final frame. Poyer took the loss after surrendering a hit and a base on balls to start the inning.

On Saturday, juniors Jared Rummell and Hans Lund, who failed to close out Saturday's game on the mound, combined on a strong performance against Taylor Electric in a 12-2 Astoria victory. The Fishermen pounded out 13 hits in the win as Lund had a pair of doubles and Thomas Jaworski hit a 3-run triple. Rummell picked up the win with six strong innings and Lund closed out the seventh.

Astoria returns to the field tomorrow with a non-league home doubleheader against Taft. The first game starts at 5:00 p.m. at Ernie Aiken Field.
