FISHERMEN DEFEAT WASHINGTON'S BEST

Brent Culver led off the game with a home run and Adam Koehnke hit a 3-run homer to left as Astoria scored all of its runs in the first inning in a 4-3 victory over previously unbeaten Mark Morris of Longview, Washington. The Fishermen extended their winning streak to 14 heading into a pair of key Cowapa League games against Yamhill Carlton at home Monday and at Yamhill Wednesday. The Monarchs, who have already clinched the Greater St. Helens 2A League championship, had their 17-game winning streak snapped as Washington State-bound pitcher Matt Argyropoulos absorbed the loss. Sophomore Jordan Poyer picked up the win for Astoria and Matt Brause retired all four batters he faced for his first save of the season.
