This Day In History

• May 2, 1997: The Wahkiakum Invitational Track Meet saw several impressive performances by locals, including a team victory for the Toutle Lake boys who saw Joe Koenig named male Athlete-of-the-Meet. Koneig won the 100 meter race (11.7 seconds), 200 meter race (24.4), and the long jump (18-3).

  On the girls’ side, Wahkiakum took the team title thanks in large part to the efforts of Gabe Johnston who was named female Athlete-of-the-Meet. Johnston won the 100 meter race (13.5 seconds), 200 meters (28.1), and anchored the Mules in a first-place finish in the 800-meter relay (1:56.8).

  The Mules posted the best combined team scores in order to win the K.R. McNally Memorial Award.

In the second game of the doubleheader, fellow freshman Tanner Brill hit a go-ahead single in the sixth inning, and senior Braydon Poole went the distance in a 143-pitch, 11-strikeout complete game for a 4-3 win.

Dan Mathews allowed three runs on five hits in a complete-game effort, and also kick-started Kelso’ rally with a single. Tom McIver followed with a knock and Dan Hanks legged out a bunt to load the bases, and a batter late, Randolph cleared them.

That Day In History

April 26, 1988: The Mark Morris boys soccer team gives away a 4-1 lead to Camas in a matter of 20 minutes in the second half, before Mark Fletcher puts the Monarchs in front for good on a header with eight minutes left for a 5-4 win. Erik Penner finished with two goals and an assist for MM, which also got goals from Marty Sudar and Mason Evans.

“It was one of the single most dominating pitching performances I’ve seen in 18 years,” Kelso coach Scott Meeker said. “It was an amazing performance. He had three pitches that were just dancing out there.”
Two of the four runs May allowed were earned, but the Hilanders still trailed 4-1 going into the fifth, before Matt Parsons hit a two-run double to close the gap to one. Walks to Jammer Free and Blair Johnson kept the inning going, before Tal Bartell came off the bench to deliver a pinch-hit 2-RBI single that put the Hilanders ahead.

The Hilanders trailed 4-0 after the Plainsmen got to David Hull for a four-spot in the second inning, but Hull bounced back by retiring 17 of the next 18 batters he faced. That gave the offense time to work, and after a three-spot in the fourth, Pickett put Kelso in front with his two-bagger into the gap in right-center field.

• April 21, 1989: Forced into service for the first time all season, Michelle Paull gives the Mark Morris softball team six solid innings in the circle to lead the Monarchs to an 8-7 win over R.A. Long. MM starter Jill Stockdale broke her finger in the first inning — though she did finish the frame, allowing four runs — and Paull took over in the second, holding the Lumberjills to three runs on six hits.
  “We really had to dig down deep tonight, considering Michelle had not pitched at all this season,” MM coach Mike Polis said. “We had to depend on more than one person and get enough help from the defense to pull us through.”

  Jackie Seidl went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead the Monarchs, and drove Paull home with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh to give MM the walk-off win. Sally Street and Marcy Watkins both had a pair of knocks for RAL.

MM’s Tom Chamberlain and RAL’s Jerry Dickinson traded zeroes on the hill for six innings, before the Monarchs finally scratched across a run in the top of the seventh on a Cole Wade double and a Mickey Brusco single. The Jacks came back to tie things in the bottom half of the inning when Jim Carvey scored on a fielder’s choice. In the eighth, MM loaded the bases for Chamberlain, who helped his own cause with a go-ahead sac fly, before Wade added another run with a squeeze.

That Day In History

• April 19, 2006: Robby Sanders tosses the first four frames and Brandon Walker handles the last three in a combined no-hitter, as Kalama takes down Rainier (Wash.) 7-1 in a Southwest Washington 1A League matchup. Sanders struck out six, while Walker punched out a pair. Chase Harkleroad and Mike LaRoy both went 2-for-3 with an RBI, Chris Pierce swiped three bases, and coach Dave Orzel got tossed in the sixth inning for arguing a non-call on what he thought was a balk.

  “I didn’t even freak out,” Orzel said. “I didn’t get fired up or say anything. … It was not your typical Orzel ejection.”

This Day In History

April 18, 1973: Rainier and Mark Morris open up their first — and possibly only — high school bicycle racing season against each other, with the Columbians coming away with the dual meet victory. Thirteen cyclists covered a winding 30-mile course that rode up along Coal Creek nearly to Castle Rock, with each team counting their top five finishers like in cross country. After over two hours of pedaling, the race came down to less than a wheel, with Mark Morris’ Pat Briney taking first place in 2:06.42 — just four-hundreths of a second ahead of Rainier’s Mike Gorthy.

Castle Rock vs Warrenton

— Ron Graham Field, 1 p.m.

Rocket Man: Putting a Name on It

The Castle Rock baseball team will holding a dedication ceremony on Saturday in order to name their home field in honor of former head coach Ron Graham.

Graham was a teacher and coach at The Rock from 1969 to 1997. When he took over as skipper for the Rockets the team still played its games behind the middle school, but with help from the community Graham spearheaded the effort to build the double-diamond complex currently utilized at the high school.

Over his 27 year career Graham put together an overall record of 361-252 (with five ties in the mix). In 1988 he led the Rockets to their first and only State title on the baseball diamond. Graham also led The Rock to a runner-up finish at State, along with a fourth-place finish and 15 playoff appearances.

Graham also helped to coach football at Castle Rock, including a three-year stint as head coach. And after retiring he spent several years as an official for football and basketball games. He was inducted in the Washington State Coaches Hall of Fame in 1994.

During his career, Ron had the support of his wife, Tami, and their daughter, Marnie.

The dedication ceremony will begin on the varsity field at 12:45 p.m. A postgame social reception will be held at the Castle Rock Axe House and Event Center from 3-6 p.m.

Kierra Kallunki tossed a gem of her own for the Tigers with an eight-strikeout shutout, dancing around a good deal of traffic flawlessly. In the sixth inning, Clatskanie finally broke the scoreless deadlock on a two-run single by Hunter Spendlove in the top of the sixth.

• Aprl 16, 2001: The R.A. Long baseball team can only scrounge up three hits, but turns them into plenty of runs for a 6-1 win over Camas in 3A Greater St. Helens League play.
  “All year, we’ve emphasized taking advantage of what’s given to us,” RAL coach Charlie Worley said. “We’re not a big hitting team, we don’t get a lot of hits, but the hits we get are in key spots.”
  The Jacks took the lead in a third without the benefit of a knock, then scored five more runs in the fourth. That was plenty for the combined effort of John Alexander — who allowed an unearned run on three hits in 5 2/3 innings — and Jamie Rivenes, who slammed the door fully shut.

  Cisco Gonzalez led off the big frame with a single before Johnson — who also hit a two-run home run in the first inning — drove him home. Nate Cundiff also hit an RBI double in the inning. With the score on their side, the Hilanders gave the ball to Paul Richie, and the reliever tossed two innings of one-hit ball to secure the win.

Bob Brewer -- who held the Chinooks hitless for the first four innings before allowing two runs in the fifth -- singled Davenport home to make it 5-2, and Jim Ross hit an RBI double in the top of the seventh to make it 6-2. Those extra runs turned out to be important, as Kalam finally got to Brewer in the bottom of the seventh and put three runs on the board before Ross finally slammed the door in relif. Kalama’s Ken Burgoyne went the distance on the hill, striking out 10 but taking the loss.
