ASTORIA TEAMS 2-0 AT BABE RUTH STATE
The Astoria 13-year-olds breezed past their first opponent, while the Astoria 14's escaped with a narrow victory at their respective state tournaments this week.
The Astoria 13-year-olds got a combined shutout from Conor Harber (3 innings) and Ryan Tapio (2 innings) and offensive contributions from everyone in the dugout in a 20-0, 5-inning mercy rule victory over Clackamas at the North Oregon State Tournament at Glenwood Park in Portland.
Harber went 3-for-5 at the plate with a double and Dalton Kelly drove in five runs for Astoria, which plays two games today, weather permitting. Astoria is due to face Pendleton at 3:00 p.m. and then will play the postponed game against Tri-County that was scheduled for Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. Three parks are now being utilized by the tournament committee to try to get the schedule back on track after the first day was completely rained out.
The Astoria 14-year-olds pushed across a run in the fourth inning against Tri-County and somehow made it stand up in a 1-0 victory today at Hermiston.
Chance Banta walked to leadoff the fourth, moved to second base on a Matt Noklevui sacrifice bunt, advanced to third base on a fielder’s choice andcame home on a passed ball for only run of the game.
Trygve Olsen allowed eight walks and five hits in a complete game performance, but consistently got outs from his defense when he needed them, as Astoria committed just one error in the field. In addition to scoring the winning run, Banta's play at third base was critical in maintaining the shutout
"He made some really good plays going to his left and throwing runners out at first in key spots," said Astoria head coach Rob Eterno. "He was also the first player to turn double plays off of line drives. I think he had at least two of those."
Astoria collected seven hits from seven different players, but received only three walks and one error from Tri-County
"We had opportunities, said Eterno. "We just couldn't push runners across the plate."
Tri-County threatened in the sixth, loading the bases on two walks and an error, but a ground ball to Alex Eterno at shortstop ended the threat.
A pair of 2-out walks in the seventh inning put the tying and winning runs on base before a ground out to second base ended the game.
The two teams combined to strand more than 20 baserunners.
Astoria returns to the field tomorrow morning to face Tualatin Hills, the team that beat them 9-2 in last week's District 1 championship game.
