CLATSOP CLASH SOFTBALL
The Astoria Lady Fishermen broke out the bats, collecting 25 hits in a doubleheader sweep of Seaside at Niemi Field Thursday.
The Fishermen overcame a 6-2 deficit with four runs in the fifth and sixth innings to defeat the Gulls 10-8 in game one and led wire-to-wire in an 8-1 victory in game two to notch their first two league wins.
The heart of the Fishermen batting order was responsible for a lot of the production as Bug Coggins (4-for-7), Emily Burrell (5-for-7) and Alex Hillard (5-for-8) each had multiple hits in both games.
"That's why those kids are there," said Astoria head coach Dave Kellmer. "They have to produce for us. Bug and Emily hit the ball hard. It's exciting to see Bug hit the first home run over our new fence. That's pretty cool."
Coggins inaugurated the new Niemi Field fence with a third inning solo home run in game one, putting Astoria up 2-0. Seaside stormed ahead with three runs in the fourth and three more in the fifth inning. Ashley Stinnett had a big double in the fourth and a clutch, 2-out RBI single in the fifth inning as Seaside took the lead, only to see Astoria rally from behind.
In addition to the middle hitters, Astoria's Amy Chaloux went 3-for-3 with a double in game one.
Hillard allowed five hits and five walks, striking out 11 to earn the victory, then added 11 more K's in game two, cuttin ght walks down to one as Astoria outhit Seaside 13-6 and played error-free ball in the field.
Burrell went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored in the second game and Hillard added three hits in four at bats. Seaside scored its lone run in the seventh inning, with McKenzie Bauske plating Nana Pierce with an RBI single. Bauske had two hits in three at bats.
"You always want to play well against Seaside," said Kellmer. "We've got a winning record in conference. I think its been awhile since that happened."
Astoria, now 2-1 in Cowapa League and 6-7 overall, heads to Tillamook on Tuesday. The unbeaten Cheesemakers face third-ranked Yamhill-Carlton Friday in their first Cowapa League action. Seaside dropped to 3-11 overall with the loss and go for their first league win at home against Banks on Tuesday.
