JUNIOR STATE ROUNDUP
Rainier 11, SEASIDE 10…Billy Zimmerman hit a 3-run home run and had a key RBI double in a 2-run seventh inning as the Columbians came from behind to hand the Gulls their first district loss of the summer season.
Seaside grabbed a big lead early with eight runs in the third inning, seven coming with two outs. The key blow was a 3-run double off the bat of sophomore Jeremy Carow.
Mitch DeGandi got the start on the mound for the Gulls, yielding to fellow senior Sal Oros after surrendering Zimmerman’s 3-run bomb in the fourth inning, when the Columbians trimmed a 10-2 deficit to 10-to-7. Down 10-9 in the seventh inning, Zimmerman cracked an RBI double to tie the game, later scoring the go-ahead run.
Alec Carlson closed the game on the mound and took the loss for Seaside, but went 2-for-4 at the plate with a double and a triple. Freshman Erik Knutsen went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI.
The Columbians also won the non-league second game of the doubleheader 6-to-3, scoring three unearned runs on three Seaside errors in the seventh inning to break a 3-all tie.
The Gulls drop to 3-and-1 in North Coast District play and 5-and-3 overall heading into Thursday’s home matchup with Astoria. Rainier hosts Warrenton on Thursday.
KNAPPA 4, Ilwaco 3…Logger freshman-to-be Cody Strickland pitched four scoreless innings and had the game-winning hit in the bottom of the ninth inning as Knappa defeated Ilwaco in a non-league game at Teevin Field Tuesday.
With the game tied at 3, Doug Montgomery was hit by a Ryan Garcia pitch with one out. After advancing to second on a wild pitch, Montgomery came around to score the winning run on Strickland’s single to center field, only the fifth hit of the game for the Loggers.
Gary Aho, the fourth Knappa pitcher, picked up the win in relief, facing two batters in the top of the ninth.
The Fishermen rallied to tie the score with two runs in the top of the ninth inning. Senior Anthony Wirkkala led off the inning with a home run to left field off Knappa reliever Maury Dugan, only the second hit of the game for the Fishermen. With one out, freshman Marcus Brown singled and senior Alex Martin followed with a base on balls. Gary Aho took over on the mound and both Brown and Martin were able to advance on stolen bases. Freshman Dylan Bliss struck a line drive to center field for a sacrifice fly, scoring Brown from third with the game-tying run.
Senior Elias Hunsinger started on the mound for Knappa and pitched three hitless innings, allowing an unearned run on a walk and two errors in the second inning. Strickland took over in the third and retired the first eight batters he faced until Ryan Garcia walked with two outs in the seventh inning.
Knappa scored three 1st-inning runs off Ilwaco starter Cody Chalker to take the early lead. Derek Wall led off the game with a walk and scored on Gary Aho’s sacrifice bunt. Brian Andersen followed with an RBI single plating Joe Strickland, who had walked. Andersen went to third on a stolen base and wild pitch, scoring on Montgomery’s RBI single.
The Loggers improved to 1-and-1 overall with the win, while Ilwaco dropped to 0-and-2.
