THREE MOVE ON
For the third time in the last four years, Astoria Babe Ruth All-Star teams will represent all three age groups in the postseason.
Although the 15-year-old All-Stars will not compete in a state tournament, they earned the right to by winning the District 1 title with a 14-1, 5-inning blowout victory over S.E. Portland Monday night at Walker Stadium.
Astoria's 14-year-old squad will go for the District title tonight against Tualatin Hills after knocking off S.E. Portland 12-1 in six innings Monday afternoon. Both Astoria and Tualatin Hills will go on to the state tournament at Hermiston.
Astoria's 13-year-old squad clinched a state berth with their only win of the tournament, so the sting of Monday's 18-1 loss won't last long as they prepare to return to Portland next week to vie for a trip to regionals.
Astoria's 15-year-old squad will try to enter one more tournament and many of the players will be in the uniforms of their respective high schools as they try to stay sharp in preparation for the Pacific N.W. Regional Tournament, which will be held at Astoria's Aiken Field. This will be the fourth consecutive year that the 15-year-old group will participate in a regional level tournament, but the first year that they didn't have to earn it with a state championship appearance. The host team for regional tournaments automatically qualifies, although Astoria will look to contend for a World Series berth as they have the last three years with top four finishes.
Here is a closer look at Monday's District 1 Tournament games:
15-year-old Championship: ASTORIA 14, S.E. PORTLAND 1 (5 innings)...After a close call in the semifinals against Tualatin Hills, Astoria put S.E. Portland away early, scoring eight runs in the second inning to open up an 11-0 lead. Ian Dueber pitched all five innings, allowing five hits and one unearned run with five strikeouts and one base on balls. Dane Lund was 2-for-4 with a double and three runs batted in, Ian Erickson went 1-for-2 with a run and two RBI's and Marc Gallegos was 2-for-2 with a double, one run and one RBI. All 15 players on the roster had seen action by the end of the third inning. Astoria finished the tournament with a 3-0 record.
14-year-old Semifinals (winner to state, loser out): ASTORIA 12, S.E. PORTLAND 1 (6 innings)...Astoria got its third consecutive strong pitching performance as Trygve Olsen allowed just three hits an no earned runs, striking out six and walking two in a 6-inning complete game performance. Olsen helped his own cause at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a triple, two runs and two runs batted in. The top four batters in Astoria's order combined for 10 runs scored and six RBI's, but Skylar Olson was mighty productive in the 6-hole, going 3-for-4 with a double and 4 RBI's. Leading 1-0 in the third inning, Astoria took advantage of an error to put three runs on the board, with Olson driving in two with a double. The Astoria shortstop added an RBI sinlge in a 4-run Astoria fourth inning, which also featured RBI singles by leadoff batter Alex Eterno and shortstop Dylan Glover as Astoria opened up an 8-0 lead. Astoria committed just one error on defense until the sixth inning, when S.E. Portland scratched out an unearned run courtesy of three errors in the inning. One run was wiped off the board due to an illegal batter. S.E. Portland was eliminated from the tournament, while Astoria and Tualatin Hills will meet at 4:00 p.m. Tuesday in the District 1 Championship Game. If Astoria wins, the two teams will play a final game on Wednesday to determine first and second place.
13-year-old Championship: S.E. PORTLAND 18, ASTORIA 1...Facing S.E. Portland for the third time in the tournament, little went right for Astoria as a complete defensive breakdown in the second inning led to five errors and seven unearned runs. Astoria committed a total of seven errors in the five inning game, while three Astoria pitchers combined to walk ten batters. S.E. Portland outhit Astoria 10-4. Conor Harber tripled and had two of Astoria's four hits, but struggled on the mound, walking four and hitting one batter in a two inning starting stint. Dillon Smith took over in the third inning, but could not record an out, walking four batters and giving up two hits and five runs. Ryan Tapio got the ball over the plate during the final two innings, but was shelled for six hits and five more runs. Only eight of S.E. Portland's 18 runs were earned. Jake Peterson and Adam Lashbaugh each went 2-for-4 with three runs for S.E. Portland. Joe Prettyman was 1-for-2 with three runs and three runs batted in. Austin Peeples struck out four and walked four in a 5-inning complete game win. Both teams will play in next week's state tournament, which will be held at Glenwood Park on S.E. 89th and Cooper.
