JUNIOR STATE BASEBALL
After a tough North Coast District opening loss to Seaside last week, the Warrenton Warriors Junior Baseball team bounced back with a doubleheader sweep of visiting Estacada Monday.
The Warriors took game one 10-0 in five innings and completed the sweep with a 12-3 victory in game two to improve to 1-and-2 on the young season.
Eric Gantenbein picked up the mercy rule shutout in game one, scattering five hits with two strikeouts and a walk. Brandon Slaughter delivered a 2-run home run in the second inning and added an RBI single in the fourth. Dan Wolfe had a triple with two RBI's. The Warriors had just six hits to Estacada's five.
The Warrior offense broke loose for 15 hits in the second game, led by Tyler Collier's 4-for-4 performance. The senior-to-be had two doubles and three runs scored. Mike Davis added two hits and a pair of runs batted in and got the start on the mound, pitching the first three innings. Wolfe and Collier split the final four innings, allowing just one hit over that span as the Warriors outhit the Rangers 15-to-3. Wolfe went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, Kevin Moore was 2-for-2 with a double and Slaughter added two more runs batted in for five on the day.
The Warriors head to Rainier for a 4:00 p.m. doubleheader on Thursday. The Columbians visit 5-and-1 Seaside tonight. The Gulls also swept Estacada in a Saturday doubleheader, winning game one 7-1 and taking game two 8-6. The Gulls are off to a 3-and-0 start in district play after beating Warrenton on Tuesday and sweeping a doubleheader at Tillamook Thursday.
