Sheldon beat Springfield 4-2 tonight in a league game running their record to 4-0. As visitors in their own park, Sheldon defeated the Millers at Sheldon as Springfield's field was ruled unplayable.
Ryan Land kept up his torrid hitting pace leading of the game with a triple to right field and scoring the games first run on a wild pitch. Springfield answered in the bottom half when TR Ralston hit a double and scored on Blaine Dudley's fielders choice.
In the second inning the Millers took the lead when Taylor Travis singled in Garrett Helfrich. The game stayed at 2-1 until the top of five.
Dylan Lewis singled to start the inning. Andrew Leung sacrificed Lewis to second. Cody Walker singled to put runners on the corners. Mitch Lewis grounded to first with Dylan Lewis thrown out at the plate. With two outs, Land hit his second triple of the game driving home both Walker and Mitch Lewis. Daniel Herr followed with a single driving home Land to give the Irish a 4-2 lead.
Sheldon replaced starter Taylor Alie in the bottom of the fifth inning with Brett Nielsen, and Nielsen was dominant. Nielsen faced nine batters in his three innings of work, striking out six.
Alie gave up just two runs in getting his first win as a Varsity pitcher. Land was 2-4 with two triples to pace Sheldon.
The Irish host South Eugene on Monday at 5:00. Sheldon is 4-0 in League play and 8-4 overall.
End of Irish recap
Additional comments by GH
Springfield's center fielder made it worth the fans admission (okay, it was free), by making two stellar plays in the fourth. The first was a diving catch of a Nielsen liner. And the next was a sprint to deep center to snag a certain double or triple by Cason Cunningham. Travess was a gold glove today.

Springfield jumped on the Wolverines out of the gates scoring three runs in the top of the first, the big hit coming from Ryan Helfrich's bat scoring Kameron Bates on a double down the right field line.
The Wolverines cut the score to 3-1 when Zach Selby doubled and eventually scored on a pass ed ball in the second.
The Millers scored two in the fourth and one more in the fifth to take a 6-1 lead.
Willamette's bats came alive and scored five runs on 3 hits, 2 walks and a hit batter before Blaine Dudley came in to close the door. Cole Hathaway had a RBI double, Jalen Drath had a 2-run single and Trent Waggoner hit a 2-run double to tie the score for Willamette in the fifth.
Both teams were held scoreless in the sixth and Springfield scratched a run across in the seventh which proved to be the winning run.
Dudley picked up the win for the Millers holding the Wolverines scoreless during his 2 2/3 innings of relief. Bates hit a one out double to center over the outstretched arms of Hathaway and then he advanced to third on a deep fly ball to right. Helfrich then hit a double to right-center to score Bates.

PRE - LEAGUE
Springfield worked in four pre league games, two against the powerful Ashland Grizzlies. Kameron Bates looks llike he has fully recovered from his knee operation last fall. .
The Millers are still looking for a solid number two, with the early thinking being that soph Makil Evans or senior Blaine Dudley will be the number two.
Ryan Helfrich popped a homer against Ashland, showing the power expected of him this year.
LEAGUE
We'll quickly find out what Springfield has this year when they face defending state champion North Eugene in the second game of league play.
A lot of people are counting the Millers out, even if Bates can play at 100% by the end of league. But I think they have a good core group, and an up and comer on hte mound in Evans. But if Bates can't make it, it will be a long haul.
