FISHERMEN POUND PANTHERS
So much for finding quality competition before the district tournament!
Hoping to get a good challenge, the Astoria Ford Fishermen traveled to Polk County to play the Central Panthers Junior State team in a doubleheader on Saturday. Astoria ended up winning a pair of laughers, 13-3 and 21-1, both games limited to five innings by the 10-run mercy rule.
Jordan Poyer picked up the win in game one and Nick Bredleau was victorious in mound duty in game two, adding a home run to the onslaught.
Head coach Dave Gasser did not accompany the team on the trip and Ralph Steinback did not make it to the end of the doubleheader after being ejected for questioning a call on the field.
Tonight, Astoria was initially scheduled to play Banks in a non-league game at 7:00 p.m. That was changed to a make-up game with Rainier some while back, but that may not happen either in light of Rainier's no-show at Warrenton Thursday and subsequent expulsion from district tournament qualification.
Maybe Astoria can play the Renegades tonight as some were suggesting at the ballpark yesterday?
Astoria has a first round bye at districts and will play the winner of a first round matchup between Seaside and Warrenton on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. One win will qualify the Fishermen for the state tournament in Eugene the following week.
