L.C. 11'S BREEZE THROUGH FIRST POOL GAMES
The Lower Columbia 11-year-old Cal Ripken All-stars defeated two opponents by ten run margins in the opening round of the North Oregon combined 11/12B State Tournament in Naselle.
Playing at the Lions Club field Friday morning, Lower Columbia rolled up 11 runs in the first two innings on the way to a 20-10 victory over Dallas 12B.
Dallas 12B prolonged the game by scoring six runs on four hits and a pair of errors in the third inning to make it a 12-7 ballgame at that point. But L.C. kept pouring it on offensively, adding two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings and notching four more runs in the sixth.
Kyle Kelly led the way at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI's and three runs scored. Keelin Cuifici also went 3-for-4 with a pair of runs and Josh Biel was 2-for-4 with three runs and an RBI.
In the anticipated matchup of the two 11-year-old teams at the tournament, Lower Columbia completely dominated perennial power West Linn, on the way to a mercy-rule shortened 14-1 shellacking in five innings.
Jeremy Poyer pitched five innings of 1-hit ball for the win and Kyle Kelly continued a productive Friday at the plate with three more runs batted in, going 2-for-3.
