THIN ASTORIA STEALS TWO AT CORVALLIS
With a roster ravaged by Babe Ruth all-star tournaments, football camp and various other distractions, a makeshift lineup featuring primarily J.V. players led Astoria Ford to two wins at a tournament in Corvallis.
If Astoria can upset Yakima Saturday, the Fishermen will play for the championship of the eight-team Junior State tournament Sunday night.
Astoria had just nine players in uniform in their opening 6-4 win over Riverside, California. Jared Rummell started on the mound and pitched long enough to earn the win before tweaking his back. Rummell would hit a 3-run double in the first game and would recover in time to lay down two key bunts as Astoria won a wild 16-11 affair over host Corvallis.
Hans Lund had a pair of hits, including an RBI double in game one. Lund added three more hits in the game two victory. Nick Bredleau started in centerfield in game one, but went to the mound to get the final two outs for a save, adding an RBI triple at the plate.
The Fishermen had an 11-4 lead in game two before Corvallis scored seven unanswered runs to tie the game. The Fishermen continued to hack away at the plate, pulling away for the win as they finished with 18 hits in the contest.
Astoria improved to 8-1 for the summer with the wins.
