Clackamas won the Mt. Hood Conference title and takes a 23-3 record into today's regular-season finale

Odds and ends…

Freshman Tyler Petrasek singled to left center field to score Jeff Tompkins to walk it off in the 8th inning of Amity's 3-2 victory over Horizon Christian on May 3…West Linn senior Spencer Sullivan hit a home run in the 11th inning on Monday to walk off a 2-1 win over Tigard…Hood River Valley defeated Gresham, 7-2, on Monday behind sophomore lefty Jordan Webber, struck out 10 over 4.1 innings, including seven in a row at one point….In the same game, Mason Spellecy  had a single, double and triple and drove in five. Spellecy, a senior, now has 35 driven in despite missing time with a hamstring issue earlier in the year…

Cordell Prevett gave up just three hits and a lone run on the mound while Carter Northrop, Jeff Tompkins and Evan Berkey combined for 8 hits, 6 runs, and 6 RBIs to lead the way for Amity in a 14-1 victory over Westside Christian on May 10…McMinnville clinched the Pacific Conference Title last Friday with an extra inning win over Century (I walked by that game on my way to see the Hillsboro Hops!). McMinnville’s 17-1 league record is one better than Sherwood…Lincoln was down 6-0 to rival Grant in the bottom of the seventh and scored nine times to win, capped by Colton Schmokel’s three-run, walk-off homer. The loss was the only one in the PIL for Grant…

Central Catholic senior SS Thomas Ferroggiaro hit for the cycle against Reynolds on May 5. He went 4-for-5 with four RBIs in the 9-0 win…As of May 8, Ferroggiaro was batting .423 with 11 doubles, three triples two home runs, 28 runs and 28 driven in across 23 games…Central Catholic closed the regular season on a 15-game winning streak…Down 6-1 in the bottom of the 7th on May 13, Amity scored six runs to defeat Harrisburg, 7-6. Miliano Huynh highlighted the come back with a two-run double in the last gasp rally.  

Tualatin beat Sherwood, 3-2, in 8 innings on May 10, on a walk-off single by Aidan Howard, which scored Caleb Kreitzer from second. Ryan Morrison threw seven strong innings, giving up just six hits and a walk while fanning seven…Clackamas senior Jackson Jaha threw a 5-inning perfect game on May 6 in the Cavaliers’ 16-0 win over Nelson. Jaha also went 3-for-4 at the plate with three doubles and two RBIs….Clackamas won the Mt. Hood Conference title with a 15-1 record… Portland Christian  senior Kirk Mazurowski had a dream double header on Monday in two one-run losses to Nestucca. He went 7-for-8 with three doubles, four runs scored and seven RBIs…
