Local baseball and softball teams have been busy on the diamond as both sports enter their league seasons. For softball, Astoria’s sluggers have seen their bats come alive, in Seaside, they are building momentum and Warrenton is off to a fantastic start.
Astoria’s bats come alive
In softball play, Astoria dropped the hammer last Friday against Pendleton in a battle of top five teams. The Fishermen beat Pendleton 12-0 in five innings at Estacada High School.
Hailey Svensen and Lyla Carlson led the Fishermen with three hits apiece. Svensen went 3-4 with one RBI, while Carlson had a 3-3 day that included two home runs and five total runs batted in. In total, the Fishermen had 12 hits and pitcher Taryen Wray struck out nine in five shutout innings.
Astoria returned to CMH Field for a Tuesday game against Tillamook.
This game was over quickly as the Fishermen scored three runs in the first and cruised to an 11-0, five inning victory. Finley Cameron, Aryana Adams and Wray each had two hits. Wray led the team with three RBIs while Carlson and Adams had two apiece.
On the bump, Wray and Kate Barendse combined to throw a no hitter. Wray pitched the first three innings striking out eight and Barendse pitched the last two.
Astoria now sits at 8-1 and is ranked No. 1 in 4A, ahead of Cowapa league rival Scappoose. Next up for the Fishermen is a Thursday game at Banks.
Seaside softball flys up the rankings
Seaside softball is off to a good start as the team sits at 4-4 after eight non-league games.
The Seagulls currently are ranked No. 11 in 4A and have a 3-1 record against teams from the state of Oregon. After challenging themselves in Arizona once again, the youthful Seagulls have won back-to-back games to put themselves in playoff position.
A 6-1 victory over North Marion last Friday, April 3 and a 7-2 victory over Junction City on Monday, puts the team on a winning streak. The girls have two more non-league games before they host Astoria on April 14. A Wednesday home game against Estacada and a rematch against North Marion on Thursday will serve as final tuneups.
Friday’s game against North Marion was a balanced performance for Seaside as they accumulated eight hits, made just one error and saw Allie Corder shove on the mound for seven innings.
In the game, Corder gave up just four hits, walked three batters and struck out 10. At the plate, freshman Jahzara Marshall led the Seagulls with two hits from the leadoff spot. Number two hitter Grace Walker smacked a home run for the standout play. Other Seagulls to get hits were Carly Corder, Allie Corder, Mackenzie Haag, Tiera Spivey and Lilly Morris.
In addition to eight hits at the plate, the Seagulls swiped three bases with Carly Corder, Olyvia Morse and Spivey.
Monday against Junction City saw the Seagulls score four runs in the sixth inning to pull away. Also, the Corder sisters combined to throw a no hitter as older sister Carly started things off by going four innings, then younger sister Allie finished the last three. Seaside has seen really good pitching so far this season and in addition to improved fielding, the results have started to show for the team.
At the plate, Allie Corder led the way with three hits and two RBIs. Walker and Carly Corder followed with two hits a piece.
Warrenton’s in a groove
Warrenton softball pushed its record to 8-2 after three wins last week.
The Warriors returned from La Grande and swept Portland Adventist Academy to start off league play. Warrenton defeated the Cougars by a total score of 29-0 in the two games played. The Warriors then had an impressive 7-1 win over 2A Clatskanie on Friday.
In the Warriors 15-0 victory over Portland Adventist Academy, Lucy Smith led the way with five runs batted in. Smith went 3-4 to lead the offense, while senior catcher Natalie Pike knocked in three runs as well.
On the mound, Warrenton saw a familiar face return after a long absence.
Junior Kiki Olson returned to athletic competition after more than a year off due to a knee injury. Olson played first base and went 1-1 and also pitched one inning, striking out the side and walking just one in the Warriors five inning victory. Olson now joins Gracelyn Brown and Scarlet Anderson on the mound for Warrenton this season.
Game two saw the Warriors win 14-0 and throw a combined no hitter. Olson and Anderson only allowed one total base runner in their five innings of work.
At the plate, Hannah Leavitt had three RBIs, Smith had four and Emma Stevens had three as a pinch hitter.
Against Clatskanie, Anderson led the way on the mound with seven strong innings. Anderson struck out eight in the game. At the plate, Pike and Olson led the way with two runs batted in and Pike, Leavitt and Natalie Davis had two hits each.
Warrenton baseball continues a streak
It’s been a tale of two divisions for Warrenton baseball.
Against 4A opponents, they are 0-3 and against 3A teams the Warriors are 4-0 after defeating Westside Christian on Monday in the team’s home opener.
The 6-2 victory improved Warrenton’s record to 4-3 and league record to 1-0.
Ryan Palmer, RJ Thornton and Dylan Ballard combined to throw a five hitter. Palmer struck out five in 2.1 innings, Thornton came in to relieve him and threw four innings before giving way to the closer, Ballard, who got the final two outs.
At the dish, Warrenton combined for five hits and seven walks. A Duke Anderson double was the big hit that broke the game open.
