Andrew Moore threw his second no hitter within the week; striking out 15, walking two with one other runner reaching base on an infield error. Amazingly, no South Eugene batter put the ball in the air. The five outs that were not strike outs, were grounders to third (2), second (2) and first (1). That means four Axemen never touched the ball. Moore threw 99 pitches in total.
South was in the game until the Axemen defense fell apart in the sixth. The Axemen were down 2-0, easily within striking distance if they could work a little small ball. But three South errors on routine plays opened the door for North to score four runs. The errors dampened an otherwise stellar performance by sophomore Joe Schindler. Schindler had North off balance most of the game, striking out six and walking only two. Schindler is one of the better pitchers I"ve seen this year.
Shawn Boehm was four for four and an rbi. Garrett Harpole ripped a deep double in the top of the fourth, knocking in Boehm to start North's scoring. Kyle DeHaven then knocked him in.
Notably, Gus Craig did not play for South Eugene. And North almost lost catcher Kyle DeHaven when he lost a battle with the first base bag while trying to beat out a single, stumbled 10 yards and came up holding his knee. The trainer checked him out, North put in a sub runner, and DeHaven returned the following inning.
North Eugene has a bye tomorrow. South takes on the Colts.

South Eugene defeated Churchill in 6 innings on Monday night 16-4. The 1st 2 innings were scoreless as the Lancers squandered a good scoring chance in the bottom of the 2nd when they put two on with nobody out and failed to score. The first base runner was the pitcher Brandon Doerksen who was hit by a pitch in the back of the neck and left the game after pitching the top of the 3rd.
South scored 3 runs in the 3rd on 4 hits a walk and 2 Churchill errors. The key hit was a 2 run 2B by Max Morrison. In the top of the 5th the Axemen scored 4 more runs on 2 hits 2 walks and another costly Churchill error.
The Lancers finally got on the board in the bottom of the 5th when they strung together 3 hits by Murray, Kearney, and Pomeroy and with the help of a wild pitch plated 2 runs.
However, in the top of the 6th the Axemen sent 13 batters to the plate and scored 9 more runs, only 1 of which was earned due to a 2 out throwing error that would have ended the inning after only 1 run was scored. South took advantage of that miscue to pile up 5 more hits and a couple of walks to finish off the inning.
The Lancers did come back to score 2 more runs in the 6th thanks to a solo HR by Bryson Jones and an RBI single by Murray.
Carlos Larson went the distance for South allowing 6 hits 4 runs, all earned, 4 K's 1 BB and 3 Hit batters |

2010 Record:
League 2-13
Overall 8-17
PRE - LEAGUE
South Eugene comes off of a disappointing 2010 season and opens with a non-league game against Churchill. Other earlly games area against Crater and Astoria. A math against the Black Tornado is certain to get the Axemen's attention.
LEAGUE
2011 isn't a year you want to be rebuilding a program, but the Axemen have a schedule where they might do well if they can find one outstanding pitcher. They don't have any game sequences where they face veteran laced clubs one after another.
They might be able to plan around the Big Dogs, steal a few of their bones once in awhile, and end up in the upper half at the end of season.
The Axemen might also benefit from not playing a lot of out of state teams. Their RPI could look good compared to other teams in the league that are headed to warmer weather for spring break.
