RENEGADES SHUT DOWN ASTORIA
The Astoria Ford Fishermen were looking for a challenge before districts. They found what they were looking for in Seaside Wednesday night.
Facing the AAU North Coast Renegades, a team comprised primarily of 18-19 year-old local players, some with college experience, the Fishermen mustered just two hits in a 5-0 shutout loss.
On the positive side, Astoria pitchers Jordan Poyer, Mathias Brause and Hans Lund allowed just two hits in the 7-inning game, which took just over 90 minutes to complete.
Future OIT Owl Derek Jacobson pitched a magnificent five innings for the Renegades for the win. Coming off a complete game no-hitter on Sunday against Ryder Showtime Blue, Jacobson allowed just two hits over five shutout innings while striking out 11 and walking none. Dakota Wesleyan righthander and Warrenton grad Nick Miller pitched two perfect innings of relief.
The Renegades scored in the first inning after Clackmas College's Daniel Terranova doubled to the left center field gap, advanced to third base on a wild pitch and scored on former Seaside Seagull teammate Patrick Latham's grounder to second base.
Terranova's double was the only hit allowed by Astoria sophomore Jordan Poyer, who pitched the first three innings of the game. A pair of walks and a couple of errant pitches got Poyer into trouble in the third innning. Ryan Spivey and Andrew MacLean drew back to back walks with two outs with Spivey scoring on a wild pitch and MacLean coming around on an errant throw by catcher Brendan Landwehr, who had a tough time keeping balls from reaching the backstop. With MacLean on second base, John Knutsen struck out on a pitch in the dirt, but reached safely with MacLean scoring when Landwehr's throw to first base was low and skipped past Brause into right field.
Brause took over on the mound for Poyer in the fourth inning and tossed two perfect frames with four strike outs, including a whiff of older brother Henry Brause, which drew howls from both dugouts and electrified the crowd.
Jacobson finished off an impressive performance by showing off his bat, belting a towering home run to right field off Hans Lund in the sixth inning for the final Renegades run. Earlier in the game, Jacobson recorded a rare strikeout of Matt Brause, who had fanned only once during the entire spring championship run for Astoria. On Brause's return to the plate, the reigning state 3A Player of the Year stroked a double to right field, the only hard hit ball by Astoria all day. The other Fishermen hit came on a leadoff bunt single by Thomas Jaworski in the fourth inning. Jaworski was later caught stealing on a Jacobson pickoff.
The Renegades are off until a tournament at Clackamas Community College next week. Astoria takes on either Seaside or Warrenton on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at Knappa in the OJBA District 9 playoffs. The Fishermen need just one win at this weekend's tournament to qualify for the state tournament next week.
