ASTORIA CRUISES IN REGIONAL OPENER
Max Johnson and Taylor Landwehr combined on a 5-inning no-hitter and Astoria took advantage of an ugly third inning to score nine runs in a 12-0 blowout win over Torrington, WY in the opening round of pool play at the Pacific Northwest 14-year-old Babe Ruth Regional Tournament in Roseburg.
Astoria plays the second of four pool play games today at 1:00 p.m. against British Columbia champion Fraser Valley.
Johnson struck out four batters and did not allow a baserunner in four innings of work. Landwehr walked a pair, but struck out the side in the fifth inning to complete the mercy rule shortened game.
Astoria had just five hits, but took advantage of four errors and five bases on balls in a nine-run third inning to blow the game open. Trevor Couch drove in two runs with a single and Johnson reached base twice on a hit and an error, scoring twice in the inning.
Astoria played error-free defense against the Wyoming champions, who reached the regional tournament courtesy of a forfeit in their state championship game when the opposing team used an ineligible pitcher.
In other first day tournament action, defending PNW Regional champion Lewiston, Idaho fell to Central Kitsap 9-7 and Calgary topped Skyline of Butte, Montana 7-3.
