Willamette came out smokin' in the first,

proceeded to add 5 in the 3rd, 4 in the 4th and 1 in the 5th.

North Eugene 10 Marshfield 0 6 innings It's the 4th inning of a game I was dreaming about - lefties Keller vs Carpenter - North up 1-0, neither team giving an inch. Suddenly, with Carpenter at the helm, his Pirate shipmates take a shore leave and make 6 errors in the next two innings. Keller tosses a complete game 3 hitter with 11 k's, 2 walks, Carpenter went 5 1/3 with I think 1 legit hit, 7 K's and a walk. Oh, it could have been a dream game.... No dingers and 1 misplayed trip South Eugene 4 Lebanon 2 Sheldon 8 Thurston 0
Sheldon grabbed a four run lead in the top
of the first, and never looked back. Alex Besaw improved to 4-1 in
league with another strong performance. Besaw only gave up three hits,
while striking out five and walking only two. Grant Willis had a double
for Thurston who left 9 men on base inthe first four innings.
Freshman Tyler Martell was 3-3 on the day
with 4 RBIs, and pushed his MWL batting average to over .430. David
Dember added his 20th MWL RBI in the 1st.
If Sheldon, South, and Marshfield win out
it'll set up a three way tie for third...with all teams having split
their games against each other. Should be a great end to great season.
Churchill 4 Willamette 0 Thompson pitches a 3 hit complete game shutout in a rather uneventful and somewhat bizarre game, and Brown goes yard. Travis Woodke started on the mound for the Wolverines, notching his first innings of the season. He held CHS hitless through four and then the wheels came off a little. Eric Brown gets a solo dinger for the first run of the game. A bases-loaded hit batter (Larsen) with two outs scores the next run for Churchill. Next batter, Matt Irsfeld, gets a two-RBI single on a questionable hit near the 1st base foul line to complete the scoring. Home plate ump calls the ball fair as Irsfeld heads back to the plate thinking it is foul, he makes it back to first in time, Wilhi coaches come out to contest, Wilhi fan is ejected, but the runs count. Springfield had the bye |

Marshfield 5 Willamette 2 Rexine fans 9 in 7 innings Pirates have bye Monday, then play NE and Lebanon Wolverines play Sheldon, Churchill & South Churchill 7 South Eugene 6 North Eugene 12 Springfield 0 North clinches a 1 or 2 seed Thurston 8 Lebanon 5 Thurston beat Lebanon 8-5 in a make-up of a rain-out on Friday. Nate Cornacchia hit 3 doubles in a 3-4 day that included 5 RBI. His two-out 3-run double in the top of the 7th provided the Colts with the final buffer as Lebanon scored 2 in the bottom of the 7th that would have tied the game without Cornacchia's shot. With the tying run at the plate, the game ended with a diving catch made by 2nd baseman, freshman Colin Schauermann. Jesse Sweet pitched 5 2/3 innings for the Win against Lebanon (5 K's, 0 BBs and 1 HP). Dan Straily entered at the bottom of the 6th and got the Save. .

North Eugene 12 Sheldon 10 Aces Keller and Smith get roughed up early in a hitter's game. Franke comes in and gets the win for North despite his share of troubles as well.

Sheldon 3 South Eugene 1
Sheldon wins 3-1 in 8 innings. Alex Besaw
pitched 8 innings of 2 hit ball for the Irish, as well as doubling to
start of the 8th and eventually scoring the game winning run. Greg
Wirtala, whose error in the 6th helped South tie the ballgame at one,
singled in two runs with two outs in the top of the 8th. South knotted
the game at 1 after an attempted pick-off went errant with the bases
loaded. The Irish outhit the Axeman 12-2 but a gutty pitching
performance by Dan O'Brien kept South in it. Both teams played solid
defense and used solid pitching to make for a great Friday night at the
ballpark. Jack Carpenter and Nate Traisman had the hits for the Axeman.
Micah McJunkin had three hits, including a triple for the Irish.
Brandon Hayes also added three hits and a double. Besaw struck out six
and walked two in his 8 innings, giving up no earned runs. O'Brien
threw 5 2/3 before being replaced by Traisman. O'Brien walked 1, did
not record a strike out, but did an excellent job working out of jams.
Traisman threw the last 2 1/3, walking 1 and striking out 1
Marshfield 6 Springfield 3 Rexine k's 9 through five, Rose closes. Schapper baffles Pirates for four innings, giving up just one hit, a 2 run homer by Chad Bunnell in the third. Then errors mixed in with three more Pirate hits, give Marshfield a 6-2 lead going into 7th. Springfield has 7th inning rally stopped when Rose fires one off of the wood backstop, bounces it 30 feet back to McClintock, who fires to third to get the runner. Springfield can't put three doubles and a triple to good use. Churchill 6 North Eugene 4 Willamette 5 Lebanon 0 Thurston Bye |

Lebanon 7 Churchill 6 Lebanon upsets Lancers after scoring one run in three games Marshfield 11 Sheldon 9 McJunkin & McClintock McSmash opposing fielders. The Irish and Pirates lashed out 24 hits between them, no dingers. In the fourth, McJunkin hit a shot off of Ricky Rexine's left forehead, dropping Rexine to the ground. Everyone was ready for the ambulance, but Rexine got up and kept pitching. Rexine had already taken a line drive off of his leg. He would have won the 'Tough Guy' award, but it had already been given out. Earlier in the game, McClintock blasted a two hop cannon blast at 3rd baseman Greg Wirtila. Great sound effects as the ball thudded off of Wirtila's chest as good 3rd basemen are trained to do. The vibrations almost set off a tsunami. He got the award. The game was ugly early, add 8 errors to the 24 hits, but the closers, Besaw and Carpenter looked sharp the last two innings North Eugene 12 South Eugene 2 Six innings. Shawn Peterson pitched a complete game for North.. Springfield 6 Thurston 2 |
