WARRIORS WHACK LOGGERS
The Warrenton Warriors felt like their 2-1 loss to Clatskanie was one that got away. Their near-perfect execution in every game since indicates they aren't about to let another win slip through their fingertips.
The Warriors played two error-free games on Friday, sweeping a home doubleheader from the Vernonia Loggers 9-1 in game one and 19-0 in a 5-inning game two to improve to 6-1 in the Lewis & Clark League, keeping pace with the first-place Tigers a game back in the standings.
Eric Gantenbein went the distance on the mound in game one and went 4-for-4 with a home run and five runs batted in to hasten the mercy-rule shortended second game. Billy Sturgell launched his second home run of the season, a 3-run shot to key a 6-run Warrior second inning after Vernonia scored the first run of game one.
Nathan Massey went 2-for-3 at the plate in game one and doubled in game two, catching both games of the doubleheader. Dan Wolfe allowed just one hit and no walks, throwing only 63 pitches to notch the win in game two, working on a single day's rest.
"I was very pleased with our hitting and our small ball execution," said head coach Lennie Wolfe. "We did a good job of running the bases. I was very pleased with our pitching and we were rock solid on defense."
"Our infielders did a super job all day."
Dan Wolfe went 2-for-2 at the plate with four runs scored in game two and Kevin Moore was 2-for-4 with a double and four runs batted in.
The Warriors, now 12-2 overall with their only other loss coming to 2A #1-ranked Nestucca, travel to Neah-Kah-Nie for a doubleheader Tuesday, then to Clatskanie for a doubleheader rematch against the first place Tigers on Friday. Clatskanie dominated its doubleheader with Neah-Kah-Nie on Friday, winning game one 38-0 and game two 16-0. Rainier defeated Catlin Gabel 18-0 and 11-0 in a pair of five inning games.
