RENEGADES SWEEP WEEKEND SERIES
The North Coast Renegades are truly living up to their name this summer. With no league affiliation, they are just showing up to play baseball wherever they can against whomever will challenge them.
After two aborted attempts to play a local game this summer, the Renegades finally got to show off for the home fans by sweeping four games against visiting Ryder Showtime Blue, winning a pair of games Saturday at Warrenton and taking two more Sunday in Seaside.
Saturday's doubleheader sweep was highlighted by a pair of solid complete game pitching performances and a productive day in the middle of the order for Astoria native Henry Brause. Brause drove in five runs in the second game, an 8-3 victory, going 2-for-4 with a 2-run single in the fourth inning, a two-run home run in the fifth and an RBI fielder's choice later in the game.
The Renegades scored seven runs in the fourth and fifth innings after falling behind 3-0 early. Nick Miller went the distance on the mound, allowing five hits, two earned runs wihth seven strikeouts and three walks. Daniel Terranova was 2-for-4 at the plate with a double and two runs scored.
In the first game of the doubleheader, Brause doubled and scored, Derek Jacobson went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI and John Knutsen walked three times, scoring twice while Bret Birman also scored a pair of runs. The game was tied at three until the sixth inning, when the Renegades batted around, scoring four runs. The key hit was a 2-run double with the bases loaded by Mooch Smith, who went 2-for-4. Patrick Latham picked up the complete game victory, allowing five hits with four strikeouts and a walk.
On Sunday, Derek Jacobson had the highlight of the weekend--a 7-inning no-hitter with 14 strikeouts and seven bases on balls as the Renegades won game one of the doubleheader at Broadway Field 9-1. This time the Renegades grabbed the lead early and held it, scoring three 1st-inning runs on a double by Eric Gantenbein followed by singles by Latham and Jordan Shear. Birman and Terranova had back-to-back doubles in the third inning and Brause added an RBI triple in the fourth, scoring on an error.
In game two, Terranova became the fourth pitcher of the weekend to go the distance on the mound as the Renegades won 11-4. John Knutsen reached base four times on three walks and a 2-run single in the fifth inning. Sean Ferguson followed with a 2-run double in the 5-run fifth when the Renegades opened up an 8-2 lead. Andrew Maclean went 2-for-5 with a double, and RBI and two runs scored and Nick Miller went 3-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored.
The Renegades are looking to pick up another game or two before heading back to Clackamas Community College in two weeks for another tournament.
