STALE FISH ELUDE SEAGULLS TO STAY UNBEATEN
Perhaps a little burned out after five games in three days, Astoria Ford's OJBA team ground out a 7-4 win at Seaside Thursday, keeping their summer record unblemished.
Hans Lund was the workhorse as Astoria was low on pitching with the heavy schedule and the loss of several players to the Babe Ruth District 1 Tournament this weekend. The senior righthander, limited to short relief stints in the spring, battled through control problems early and went the distance on the mound, throwing 117 pitches to pick up the complete game victory.
It was not a pretty contest, marred by lots of walks and hit batters by both teams. Lund walked four and hit two, pitching out of trouble in just about every inning. Seaside put the leadoff man on each of the first four innings, scoring single runs in the second, third and fourth.
Astoria got on the board first with walks to Tom Jaworski and Lund in the first inning and RBI singles by Mason Brause and Sam Johnson. Two more walks in the second put Astoria up 4-0 when Jaworski drove in Brad Sarpola and Oscar Carriere with a base hit.
Carriere continued a productive week by reaching base four times, twice on walks, once on a hit by pitch and finally a double in the seventh inning. The senior outfielder scored two runs.
Seaside scored on a Ian Dueber RBI single in the second, a bases loaded walk in the third and RBI singles by Dylan Peters and Ryan Sparks in the fourth. Astoria led 5-4 at the end of four after a sacrifice fly by Brause in the top of the inning scored Jared Rummell. Astoria had loaded the bases with one out on a leadoff walk and two hit batters, but scored just the one run as relief pitcher Erik Knutsen was able to work out of the jam.
Hans Lund held Seaside hitless over the final innings, while the Fishermen tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the seventh.
Astoria takes on Knappa in a rare Sunday doubleheader, starting at 4:00 p.m. at Aiken Field.
