WEEKEND ROUNDUP

BASEBALL
Knappa at Country Christian...no scores reported
Kalama 4-7, Ilwaco 1-0... Nick Peacock outduelled Ilwaco's Anthony Wirkkala, limiting the Fishermen to one hit in a complete game performance in game one of Friday's doubleheader. Sophomore standout Robby Sanders gave the Chinooks the lead with a sixth inning RBI double, the first hit of the game off Wirkkala. The Fishermen went down meekly in game two as they dropped their 12th game in 13 decisions

SOFTBALL
Yamhill-Carlton 12-4, Astoria 4-3...After a rocky game one, Astoria led the Cowapa League leading Tigers 3-2 going into the seventh inning before Yamhill fashioned the game winning runs out of two walks, a hit batter, two passed balls, a wild pitch and finally the game winning hit by Bree Larson. The Tigers improved to 9-0 in Cowapa League play and 15-4 overall, escaping an Astoria upset bid for the second time this season. The teams combined for 14 errors in the first game. Freshman Shelby Haskell continues to produce at the plate as she went 2-for-4 with a run scored in game one and drove in one of Astoria's three runs in game two with an RBI single. The Tigers outhit the Fishermen 8-to-4 in the second game. Astoria travels to Seaside on Tuesday.
Vernonia 5-11, Warrenton 0-8...details not reported.
Knappa 14-28, Country Christian 2-5... The Loggers racked up 32 hits on the way to a pair of 5-inning victories over the Cougars at Molalla Friday. The road game was played despite the closure of school at Knappa Thursday and Friday due to bomb threats. Freshman Cassie West had a huge day at the plate for Knappa with eight hits in ten at bats and six runs batted in. Kate Shear drove in eight runs on the day, going 5-for-8 at the plate with a double. The surprising Loggers improved to 10-7 on the season and 5-5 in league. Next game is at Gaston Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.

TRACK AND FIELD
Meet of Champions at Willamette University in Salem...Astoria's Laura Bobek won both the shot and the discus at this annual event, featuring many of the top small school track athletes in the Willamette Valley and coastal regions. Bobek, who already had the season's longest 4A discus throw, added a season-best shot put as well with a throw of 40-11-1/2. Bobek's discus mark of 136-8 was a couple feet short of her best, but still good enough to beat second place finisher Kayla Burrus of Scappoose by 16 feet. Astoria's Jamie Coggins place fourth in the shot (38-2) and sixth in the disc (107-2). Alex Whittaker took second place in the boys shot put (49-2). Dufur's Kasey McCullough was the only boy to clear 50-feet (50-5). There were several fine marks by local athletes this weekend as Astoria's Kyle McMullen finished second to Nick West of Imbler in the 300 hurdles (41.72) and third in the high hurdles (15.89). McMullen also took seventh in the long jump, clearing the 20-foot mark by 2-and-a-quarter inches. Seaside's Dennis Olstedt, the Cowapa League's top hurlder, did not compete at this event. On the girls side, Astoria's Charlene Harber finished second in the long jump (17-2-1/2) and third in the triple jump (34-11). Just two inches behind Harber in the triple jump was Warrenton freshman Jordyn Holt, who finished fourth, adding a second place finish in the high jump (5-1). Toledo junior Beth Stam, also a basketball standout, took first place in all three jumps, beating Holt by an inch in the high jump, while sailing 18-feet in the long jump to dominate the field. Warrenton's Dallas Moses finished second to Zach Massari for the second time this month, running the 800 meters in 2:00.09, just a quarter second behind the Scio senior. Michael O'Casey placed sixth. Moses added a seventh place finish in the intermediate hurdles and placed sixth in the long jump. Astoria hosts Seaside for a dual meet Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. and Warrenton heads to Rainier on Thursday.
Shelton Invitational...Ilwaco senior Bonnie Perez placed fourth in the javelin with a throw of 111-4 and participated in Ilwaco's school-record setting distance medley relay team Saturday at a meet featuring more than 800 athletes. The team of Perez, Kelly Freese, Cameo Ulbricht and Annika Wolters ran a combined 4000 meters in 13:58.19 to place fifth. Matt Kaino's 400 meter time of 51.13 was good enough for a third place finish for the Fisherman junior. The star of the meet was Hockinson sophomore Colton Dunn, who won the 100, 200, 400 and 4-by-100 relay. Ilwaco heads to Forks on Thursday.
