Visiting Springfield scored one run in the first inning on three straight singles by Ryan Helfrich, Alejandro Camarena and Kameron Bates. It looked like the Millers would blow the game open in the first when Dudley walked to fill the bases with one out. But Wolverine starter Jake Hughes got out of the jam. Hughes then got the next nine straight batters.
Willamette answered in the bottom of the first when Jordan Bowman doubled in Scott Kuvass with two outs. Kameron Bates got out of the inning by tossing his second strikeout. Willamette then left runners on with zero or one out in the next four innings.
The game was decided in the top of the fifth. Springfield's Trevor Mathison reached first on an error. Hughes got Oliver Johnson to fly to center for the second out, but Ryan Helfrich singled to keep the inning alive. Camarena then singled in Mathison for a 2-1 lead. Bates was intentionally walked to load the bases with two outs. The strategy looked like it was working when Dudley hit a routine grounder to the infield. But the throw was wide of first and two runs scored to give the Millers a 4-1 lead after four and a half.
Willamette started a potential rally in the bottom of the fifth when frosh Scott Kuvass singled with one out. Taylor Woodke followed with a single. Jordan Bowman hit a grounder to third which was bobbled, but the Miller third baseman had time to get the runner at first, leaving runners on second and third with two outs. Bates got Tony Svensson to fly to center to kill any rally. Bates went to town and K'd two in the bottom of the sixth.
Cole Urioste singled with one out in the bottom of the seventh for Willamette. But Bates got Woodke to ground to short. and Mathison made a diving catch in center to seal the win and give the Millers at least a share of the title. The number one seed is still to be determined. |

VanEngers was nearly as good, allowing 1 run on 8 hits, 0 walks, and 5 strikeouts.
Cody Whitney doubled for Springfield with 2 outs in the 7th to put the tying run in scoring position, but Moore got Brandon Hubbard to fly out to end the game.

Incredible game featuring two macho pitching performances, batters who wouldn't go down swinging, and a half hours worth of ESPN defensive plays
The winning run came in the top of the tenth when Springfield's Austin Haxby, batting 8th in the order, hit a sharp single to center to score Blaine Dudley from second on a close play at the plate.
With Tyler Johnson on crutches and unavailable to pitch for Thurston, freshman Kyle Watson got the call. Two fielding errors in the first opened the door for Ollie Johnson to score Springfield's first run.
Watson started the second by walking Haxby, who later scored on a single by Ryan Helfrich to give Springfield a 2-0 lead. Thurston was fortunate not to be down more as the Milers left five men stranded in the first two innings. But that was the kind of game it was on both sides. Pure guts. Watson then went on to record seven scoreless innings against the Millers. Seven innings is normally a complete game!
Springfield ace Kameron Bates held the Colts scoreless in the first two innings and looked like he was going to dominate the game as he recorded two strike outs and had the Colts hitting shallow fly balls to the outfield. But the Colts toughened up at the plate and Bates only struck out two more through the seventh inning.
The first Colt run came in the third when Dawson Phinney singled, stole second and scored from second on a Kyle Wright sacrifice bunt. The Colts tied the game in the fourth. Anthony Havens singled to right, Jordan Loos moved him to second with a sac bunt. Watson flew out, but Jarren Goddard stroked a single and scored Havens.
Springfield lost it's offensive momentum after the first two innings and only had two more hits through the seventh inning as Watson dialed in from the mound. Now it was Thurston's turn to try and win the game. There had already been several very good defensive plays, but now was the time for spectacular plays.
With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Thurston's Goddard blasts a 390 shot to the base of the fence in dead center for a stand up double. Then he steals third. The noose is tightening around Springfield. With the infield in, Colt Erin Hoover hits a fairly hard hit ball that goes gets past the third baseman, but heads to the shortstop, who has no choice to field and throw to the plate on the run. Goddard dives around the catcher but , Springfield's catcher Austin Haxby applies the sweep tag for the out. Wow.
Thurston's turn to show off defensively. Dudley opens the Miller's eighth with a single to left center. Whitney flies out. Brandon Hubbard hits a long fly ball to left that looks like it's drifting out, but Colt Jordan Loos tracks it down and snags it with his back hitting the fence.
Springfield's Bates tries to make young Miller coach Eric Lansdon go bald by walking the leadoff batter. But Bates bears down and K's two batters.
The top of the ninth was mano -a- mano time. Frosh Watson got two outs while giving up two singles, bringing opposing pitcher junior Kameron Bates to the plate. This is story book stuff. And it is... Mighty Casey strikes out with a full stroke at the ball.
Now it's Springfield's turn. Specifically, Ollie Johnson. Joey Urness opens the Thurston ninth with a single. Jordan Loos comes to the plate for Thurston and hits a soft liner to center. Out of nowhere, Ollie J, comes flying like Superman and snags the ball. But wait, there's more. Urness safely gets back to first. Bates works on making coach Lansdon bald some more and walks Watson to put runners on first and second, making Urness the tieing run with one out. Goddard comes to the plate and loft a soft liner over the third baseman's head, but Superman Ollie J comes out of nowhere again and makes a flying, diving catch for out number two. Nobody in the stadium thought Johnson had a chance, including Urness, who was off to score the tieing run. Ollie J fired the ball to second to end the inning.
Thurston makes a pitching change in the top of the tenth. Dudley singles to open the inning for Springfield. Whitney flies out to right. Brandon Hubbard gets on via an error. Haxby then gets the winning RBI single. The excitement isn't over.
Hoover leads off and gets on first. The next batter lays down a potential sac bunt, but it's straight back to Bates, who fires a strike to second. Kyle Wright came to the plate next and took some mighty cuts, but Bates sat him down for the second out. It was great seeing these football players go at it. Bates got Tyler Dumilieu to fly to right to end the game.
Hats off to the players and coaches. A Thurston win would have put the teams back into a tie. There was a lot of pressure and the kids put on quite a show. We don't get to see both teams leave it all on the field very often. Tonight was the night. The Register Guard

Springfield bats started warming up in the third with two back to back singes, but they were still down 2-0 when their fourth inning at bats arrived. Kameron Bates led off the fourth with a single and Blaine Dudley smashed a towering two run homer to left.
In the 5th, singles by Ryan Helfrich and Bates were followed by a walk to Dudley to load the bases. Cody Whitney then hit a one out sac fly to right to score Helfrich. Luke Blackwell singled in Bates.
Springfield's Trevor Mathison worked starting pitcher Dawson Phinney for a walk to start the Miller 6th. Olliver Johnson then launched a two run dinger to left to give the Millers a 6-2 lead after six.
Earlier in the third inning, Thurston jumped to a 1-0 lead when Zach Kopczenski hit a too hot to handle drive to 3rd. Phinney moved Kop to second on a sac bunt. Austin Parrett singled in Kopczenski for the first run of the game. Bates got the next two batters to end the inning.
Thurston's Peanut Havens worked Bates for a walk in the top of the fourth. With one out Tyler Johnson doubled in Peanut for a 2-0 lead. Then Johnson advanced to third on a passed ball. A possible game changing play followed with Johnson at third and one out. Jarren Goddard hit a dart to shallow right center. Springfield's Trevor Mathison seemingly had no chance to get to the ball, but he got close, dove, the ball disappeared, and Mathison rolled over and showed the ball to the ump who called the play an out. The speedy Johnson, seeing no quick call by the ump as the ump waited to see the ball, took off for home. Mathison doubled up Johnson at third to end the inning after a long discussion between coach Dube and the ump. The ump won.
Thurston loaded the bases in the top of the fifth with two outs. Peanut came up with the wind blowing due south, so everyone was thinking grand salami, except Bates. Peanut hit a sharp grounder to Helfrich at third for the third out.
Both Bates and Phinney competed the game. My unofficial stats are
Bates: 7 innings, 2 runs (both earned), 4 hits, 4 K's, 2 walks.
Phinney: 6 innings, 6 runs (all earned), 12 hits, , 4 k's, 2 walks.

He completed a double play by catching a pop up bunt and doubling off the guy at first to end an inning. He later played second when Blaine Dudley came in to pitch in the seventh. That's when Hubbard threw a Fox out at the plate. Then in the bottom of the 8th he came up with runners at 2nd and 3rd and hit the game winning single. All in a day's work. |
