HR 14U JBO keeps rolling

The Hood River 14U Senior American team beat Sandy Monday night 7-5 to improve its record to 8-4.

Pitchers Nick Weekly and Brandon Dominguez kept Sandy's bats mostly silent through five innings, allowing only one run. Hood River used a four-run outburst in the third inning on four consecutive extra base hits by Brandon Dominguez, Nick Weekly, Oscar Anaya and Billy Edwards to take control of the game.

Hood River added its final run in the fifth on a solo home run by Ryan Wheat. Sandy mounted a comeback in the sixth by scoring four runs.

Ty Bofferding came in with the bases loaded in the seventh and got the next Sandy hitter to fly out to center fielder Billy Edwards, who caught the sinking fly ball on the run and kept the runner on third from advancing.

The next hitter grounded back to the mound and Bofferding threw home, where catcher Oscar Anaya made the force-out and threw to first baseman Wheat to complete the game-ending double play.

The team’s next home game is June 16.
