The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

RICHLAND, Wash.-The DW baseball team came very close to their third win of the season

in game one against Liberty Christian on Sat., May 4. After giving up three runs in the first inning they would take the lead 4-3 with back-to-back two-run innings, thanks to an Ashton Loper double in the 4th and a two-run RBI single by Tayven Seney in the 5th.

The score would remain 4-3 DW until the bottom of the 7th when Liberty Christian would draw three walks and a ground out would score the tying run. DW would go ahead in extras in the top of the eighth when a single by C. Norris would score D. Johnson to go up 5-4. Unfortunately, the first two batters for LC would get on and score on a single to close out the game 6-5.

In game two, the boys would bang out 14 hits, but only an Ashton Loper double would go for extra bases. They would score one in the 2nd, two in the 4th and two more in the 6th but that would not be enough, falling 11-5.
