WEEKEND ROUNDUP

BASEBALL
Warrenton 21, Neah-Kah-Nie 0 (5 innings)...The Warriors made very quick work of a young Pirates team as Dan Wolfe and Eric Gantenbein combined on a 5-inning perfect game, striking out all but one batter they faced on the way to the mercy-rule victory. Wolfe also drove in three runs at the plate and Kevin Moore and Brandon Slaughter each had two hits and three RBI's. The Warriors, now 2-0 in Lewis & Clark League and 8-1 overall, host the Clatskanie Tigers on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.
Columbia 12-19, Ilwaco 0-15 (Game One 6 innings, Game Two 9 innings)...A long, long doubleheader finally ended on a Greg Tellez grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Bruins swept a pair of Trico Division games from the Fishermen at White Salmon Friday night. Kyle Reeves hit three home runs on the day for Columbia, including a grand slam in game one. Paul Blaylock homered for Ilwaco in the top of the ninth inning to give the Fishermen a 15-14 lead in game two of the doubleheader. But the senior righthander, forced to the mound for the first time since early last spring, walked two and hit two batters before surrendering the walk-off home run to Tellez. Anthony Wirkkala took the loss in game one for the Fishermen.

BOYS GOLF
Central Coast Classic...The Seaside Seagulls placed eighth out of eight teams against some of the state's top 4A competition at this two-day event, which began at Sandpines Golf Resort Thursday and concluded at Salishan Golf Resort and Spa in Lincoln City on Friday. Phoenix won the event with a team score of 646 and J.T. Compher earned individual medalist for the Pirates with a 2-day total of 153, ten over par. The Pirates trailed the Brookings-Harbor Bruins by three strokes following the first round, but closed with a 316 at Salishan, paced by Compher's 5-over 76 to defeat the Bruins handily 646-674. Siuslaw was third with a 704. Seaside, led by Chris Olson's 186, finished with 807 strokes. Olson edged teammate Devan Flukinger by one stroke. Flukinger suffered through a tough day at Sandpines, shooting a 31-over 103, but recovered with an 84 at Salishan. Evan Jiroudek finished at 195 and Peter Scruggs shot 239 for the Gulls. The tournament featured each of last year's 3A league champion teams, however, the Gulls have an entirely new scoring quartet in 2007 after graduating all of last year's team. The Gulls finished the tournament with just four golfers after Donnie Strite had to withdraw with a wrist injury. The Gulls hit the home course for the first time this season when they host the Seaside Invitational on Monday, April 23.
TRACK AND FIELD
Banks Invitational...A strong showing by Warrenton freshman Jordyn Holt, while Scio's Zach Massari stole the show from Warrenton's top middle distance duo. Holt won the triple jump by an inch over Tillamook's Western Oregon-bound Stephanie Beeler, leaping 33-feet, 11-1/2 inches. The Warriors rookie sensation also took on another young star head on, battling Astoria's Charlene Harber in a pair of events. Holt edged Harber for second place by 1/100th of a second in the 100 meters, finishing in 13.05, but it was another frosh, Tillamook's Robin Smith, who won the event in 12.71. Holt placed third in the long jump, but was outclassed by Harber who jumped 16-8. Astoria's shot and discus duo of sophomore Laura Bobek and junior Jamie Coggins were pretty much battling themselves Saturday. Coggins out-tossed her younger teammate in the shot, with a put of 38-feet, 11-1/4 inches, while Bobek threw the disc 135-11 to win comfortably. In boys competition, Astoria's Steven Wentworth returned from illness to win the 400 meters in 53.74, but couldn't catch up to Tillamook's Blaise Bennett in the 200, finishing two-tenths of a second back at 23.84. In the 800 meters, Warrenton's Michael O'Casey defeated teammate Dallas Moses by nearly two seconds in 2:02.37, but both runners were looking at Scio's Zach Massari's taillights. Twenty teams competed on Saturday. No team scores or Astoria individual places were reported.
