Oregon Class 5-A Baseball Semi-Final
Hood River Valley 1, Churchill 0: Patrick Harvey pitched a two-hitter and drove in the game’s only run to lead the defending 5-A champions to a third straight appearance in the tournament final. Harvey drove in the run in the third inning. After Morgan Williams walked and Dallas Buckley sacrificed him to second, Harvey drilled a double down the left field line to score Williams. Harvey gave up the hits in third and seventh inning, but walked no one and struck out four while receiving some stellar defense behind him. Churchill’s Brock Townsend was as good as advertised on the mound, giving up only three hits and one walk while striking out ten. HRV moves on to meet Summit for the state 5-A baseball title on Saturday at 5 p.m. at Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer.
