L.C. 11'S WIN FINAL POOL GAME
The good news? Lower Columbia's 11-year-old Cal Ripken All-stars won their final pool play game and will not finish last in their pool at Regionals. The bad news? Their opponent in today's knockout round is Western Longview.
Lower Columbia defeated Willamette Valley A 5-4 Thursday to complete pool play 1-2 at the Pacific N.W. Cal Ripken 11-year-old Regional Tournament in Eugene. As a number ten seed, Lower Columbia will play seventh-seeded Western Longview tonight at 6:00 p.m. as both teams try to advance to Saturday's quarterfinal round.
Sixteen teams from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia are vying for the championship of the tournament, which concludes Sunday morning. All sixteen teams play in today's knockout round.
Lower Columbia, struggling defensively all tournament long, gave up three early runs as a result of some miscues in the field, but recovered to come back and defeat Willamette Valley, a team playing on its home field.
Kyle Lucore, son of head coach Melton Lucore, went 2-for-2 with a double. Faaleo Poyer, younger brother of Astoria High School star Jordan, had two hits in three at bats and Andrew Bergeson went 1-for-2 with a double. Bergeson pitched the first three innings, allowing three unearned runs. Nick Freitas finished the final three innings on the mound, allowing a single run.
Should Lower Columbia win tonight, they would advance to a noon quarterfinal game on Saturday. Semifinal games will be at 6:00 p.m. Saturday with the championship game at 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
