Little League bans many composite baseball bats
The first test result has been received at Little League International regarding composite-barreled bats for use in the Little League (Majors) Division and below. Little League has created a list for those bats that receive waivers of the moratorium that was enacted on Dec. 30, 2010.

Little League International’s moratorium on the use of composite bats extends to all of its baseball divisions, including the Little League (Majors) division.

Information on the composite baseball bats that have received waivers of the moratorium for the Little League (Majors) Baseball Division and below can be found here:
http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbatssmall.htm The list will be updated as more information comes into Little League.

Information on the composite baseball bats that have received waivers of the moratorium for the Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little League can be found here:
http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbats.htm

By definition, a moratorium is: An authorized delay or stopping of some specified activity. As applied by Little League International, the moratorium disallows the use of all baseball bats constructed with composite material in its barrel unless a specific model shows in laboratory testing that it will not exceed the standard that is printed on the bat, after the bat is broken in.

There is a process through which manufacturers can submit individual models for a possible waiver if they wish to seek it. Individual bat models are tested at an independent laboratory, and the results are conveyed to the manufacturer. If the manufacturer provides the results to Little League, and the bat passes the test, it will be noted on one of the two lists noted above.

Wooden and aluminum metal/alloy bats are not subject to the moratorium. Bats that have only a metal or alloy barrel (and no other material, unless it is in the end cap of the bat), and if it meets the other standards (length, diameter, etc. for the respective division in which it is used) are not subject to the moratorium, regardless of the composition of the handle or the transition to the barrel.

A listing of licensed, non-wood/non-composite baseball bats for use in the Little League (Majors) Division and below can be found here: http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/2011ApprovedNonWoodBatList.pdf This list also may be updated frequently.

Because of the moratorium, several common questions have arisen. We have addressed the most common questions in a Frequently-Asked Questions page here: http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/Sep-Dec/LLBBCompositeBatMoratoriumFAQ.htm

If you have further questions, we encourage you to sign on to Little League’s Facebook page. At that page, over the past few days, Little League International staff has answered hundreds of questions regarding the moratorium. The Little League Facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/LittleLeagueBaseballAndSoftball

Little League International first placed the moratorium on composite bats in the Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little League. Subsequent to that moratorium, scientific research that began on October 18, 2010, showed the need for the same moratorium on composite-barreled bats with 2 1/4 inch barrels as well. Starting in September, and throughout the following weeks, this information was conveyed multiple times to every local Little League, every district, to the media, on Facebook, on the Little League web site, and to more than 250,000 parents who had signed up to receive updates from Little League International.

The original announcement regarding the moratorium, enacted on September 1, 2010, is here: http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/Sep-Dec/CompositeBatMoratium.htm

The moratorium on composite bats, which now applies to all baseball divisions of Little League, does not apply to any softball divisions of Little League.

Girls finish just short of World Series berth

The Pendleton 11-12 yr. old girls played in the championship game of the Western Region Little League game in Vancouver, WA today, and lost to Southern California 11 to 3.  Southern California scored 11 runs on 9 hits, and committed 0 errors.  Pendleton scored 3 runs on 5 hits and committed 4 errors. 

Although Pendleton threated in the top of the first when lead-off hitter Darian Lindsey hit an infield single, S. Cal was able to get a ground-out and strike-out for the first two outs of the inning.  The third out came on an attempted steal of 2nd base.  S. Cal struck for 4 runs in the bottom of the first inning on five hits off Pendleton starting pitcher Ellie Richards.

Pendleton threatened again in the 2nd inning when Tiah Grass lead-off the inning with a double to center field.  A subsequent walk and single by Kelsee Cody loaded the bases.  S. Cal got out of the jam with a strike-out, and two ground-outs.  S. Cal added to its lead with 6 runs in the bottom of the second.  An error, dropped third strike, and a fielders choice loaded the bases with zero outs.  Pendleton didn't record the first out of the inning until two runs had scored from a walk and an error.  The next batter, Michelle Santiago, then cleared the bases with a double to left field.  S. Cal struck again after a one-out pitching change, as the next two batters singled to right and left center.  

Pendleton finally scored in the top of the 3rd inning.  After a lead-off walk to Lindsey, Richards singled to center.  Lindsey eventually scored Pendleton's first run on a wild pitch.  Tiah Grass then hit a deep fly ball to center field allowing Richards to tag up and score from 3rd base.  After striking out the first batter in the bottom of the 3rd inning, Cody issued 2 walks.  Pendleton got out of the jam after catcher Mykal Weissenfluh threw the lead runner out while attempting to steal 3rd base.  Cody then struck out S. Cal's clean-up hitter to end the threat. 

Pendleton added its third and final run in the top of the fourth on a Payton Hergert single and three consecutive walks by S. Cal. pitcher Davina Del Castillo.  S. Cal got out of the jam after the next hitter flew out to shallow right field, and the runner on third got caught between home and third on the throw to the plate, resulting in the 2nd out of the inning.  The next batter popped out to short to end the threat.  S. Cal added a run in the bottom of the 4th inning after Santiago lead-off the inning with her 3rd extra base hit of the game.  She eventually scored on a Pendleton miscue, despite getting caught in a run down between 3rd and home. 

Neither team scored in the 5th inning.

Pendleton threatened one last time in the top of the sixth inning.  Santiago issued three consecutive walks with one out, but two ground balls ended the game. 

S. Cal (Burbank, CA) advances to the Little League Softball World Series starting this week in Beaverton, Oregon.  Pendleton ends its season with a state title and a 2nd place Western Region finish.

Girls play for trip to World Series today

The Pendleton Little League girls softball team played its semi-final game Saturday vs. Montanta.  Pendleton won 8 to 4.  Pendleton scored 8 runs on 9 hits, and committed 1 error.  Montana scored 4 runs on 5 hits and committed 2 errors. 

Pendleton starting pitcher Kelsee Cody held Montana scoreless in the first inning, despite a two-out single.  Pendleton opened up the bottom of the 1st inning with 6 runs.  Lead-off hitter Darian Lindsey walked to start the rally, advanced to second base on a single by Mykal Weissenfluh, and scored on a single to right center by Ellie Richards.  Tiah Grass then doubled to deep right center driving in Weissenfluh.  Alli Livesay then singled to right center to drive in Richards and Grass, making the score 4 to 0.  After a Montana error and a sac bunt, Pendleton had runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out.  Korie Campbell then lined a single to center driving in the last two runs of the inning.  

Neither team scored in the 2nd or 3rd inning. 

Montana scored 2 runs in the 4th inning.    Anna Paine got on base from an error, stole second, and advanced to third on a wild pitch. After the next hitter walked, Montana had runners at 1st and 3rd with nobody out.  When the runner on first attempted to steal second, Pendleton threw down to second for the first out of inning, but Paine scored Montana's first run of the game.  After two consecutive walks, Montana hitter Kylee Koch hit a single to drive in Montana's second run.

Pendleton answered with 2 of its own in the bottom of the 4th.  Lindsey and Weissenfluh opened the inning with walks, but Lindsey was was thrown out at 3rd trying to advance on a ball in the dirt.  Ellie Richards hit a one-out single and both girls advanced on a wild pitch.  Alli Livesay then hit her second two-run single of the game, bringing the score to 8 to 2.   

Montana scored 2 more runs in the top of the 5th inning on three singles.  Montana threated to score more, but Payton Hergert made a shoe string running catch in right field to save a run. 

Neither team scored in the 6th. 

Pendleton used 4 different pitchers in the game.  Kelsee Cody and Ellie Richards each pitched 2 innings.  Riley Litzsinger and Alli Livesay combined to pitch the other 2.  The pitchers allowed 4 runs, 5 hits, 4 walks, and combined for 3 strikeouts.

Pendleton now advances to the Championship game Sunday at 2:00 vs. Southern California.  S. Cal advanced to the finals by beating N. Cal 11 to 1 in 4 innings.  The winner will advance to the Little League Softball World Series.

Victory over Alaska propels girls into regional semi-finals
Pendleton finished pool play today at  the Western Region Little League Softball Tournament in Vancouver, Washington by beating Alaska 14 to 7.  By going 3 and 1 in pool play, Pendleton advances to semi-final action on Saturday August 7th as the #2 team out of Pool 1.  Southern California earned the #1 seed out of Pool 1by winning all four of its pool play games, including a 5 to 1 victory over Pendleton in each teams opening game on August 1st.  

Versus Alaska, Pendleton fell behind by 3 runs in the first inning after two of the first three batters reached base on errors, then Jacynne Augafa and Lauren Syrup hit back to back singles.  Although Pendleton started a rally in the bottom of the first inning with its first two batters reaching base, Darian Lindsey singled and Mykal Weissenfluh walked, the threat ended on a fielders choice and two consecutive strike-outs.  

Alaska put up three more runs in the second inning when the lead-off hitter drew a one out walk.  The next two Alaskan batters, Leilani Blair and Morgan Hill, hit back to back singles plating two runs.  The final run of the rally scored on an error.  Pendleton pitcher Ellie Richards ended the threat by striking out two of the final three batters.  Down 6 to 0, Pendleton responded with 10 runs in the bottom of the second.  Amazingly, each of the first nine batters of the inning reached base and scored for Pendleton.  Kelsee Cody started the on-slaught with a single to left field.  The next eight batters reached base on six hits and two walks, including a two run double from Kiersten Murphy, and two hits apiece by Payton Hergert and Darian Lindsey.  

Any hope by Alaska of answering Pendleton's rally in the top of the third were dashed when Richards struck out the first two batters of the inning, then threw out the third batter at first base after fielding a ground ball.  Pendleton tacked on 3 more runs in the bottom of the inning.  Mykal Weissenfluh drew her third of four walks on the day, Richards reached base on an error, and Tiah Grass tripled to left-center driving in both runs.  Grass scored the final run of the inning on a fielders choice.  

Each team tacked on one run in the fourth inning, brining the score to 14 to 7.  Neither team scored the rest of the way.  

Offensively for Pendleton, Lindsey was 4 for 4 on the day.  Weissenfluh walked 4 times and scored 2 runs.  Richards scored twice and drove in 2.  Grass was 2 for 4 with 3 RBI's.  Payton Hergert was 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored.  

Richards pitched a complete game, giving up 6 hits, walking 2, and striking out 7 batters.

Pendleton will play the winner of the Friday contest between Northern California and Montana on Saturday at 2:00.  Both teams are undefeated in pool play, with 3 wins apiece.  The winner of the N. California vs. Montana game will earn the #1 seed out of Pool 2.  The loser will earn the #2 seed out of Pool 2.  The winners of the semi-final games will play in the championship on Sunday at 2:00, with the winner of that game advancing to the Little League Softball World Series in Portland, Oregon.  The losers of the semi-final games will play for third place Sunday at 11:00.

Girls playing for more than just title
for remi

 

After cruising through the state playoffs, the Pendleton 11-12 girls have stepped up their game in Western Regionals. Part of their motivation stems from a chance encounter before the tournament.

Remi Robinson is a 2-year-old who is suffering from cancer. Her grandmother, Jan Bothum, came to one of the team's fundraising car washes and talked to the girls about Remi and her battle. As one of the team parents described it, "by the time she left there wasn’t a dry eye in the house." Team member Tiah Grass and her sister Kayla made the sign and as soon as the girls saw it they thought about Remi and all that she has gone through in her short little life. They also thought about her grandmother, obviously filled with worry, love and hope for her granddaughter, yet still taking the time to support the all star team by having her truck washed (which, by the way did not need to be washed).

In the girls' second game on Monday, they had to battle back in the fifth inning from a 5-0 deficit to claim their first tournament victory. Their determination was inspiring in producing what may have been the best inning of any of the games these girls have played together so far. The team played with such spirit not just for themselves, but also for a little girl they've never met whose struggle touched their hearts.

Girls trounce Cascade, face must-win game today
The Pendleton Little League girls (11-12 yr olds) softball team played their third of four pool play games Wed. evening vs. the host team, Cascade of Vancouver, WA at the Western Region Little League Softball Tournament in Vancouver, WA.  Pendleton beat Cascade 17 to 1 in 4 innings. Pendleton scored 17 runs on 9 hits and did not commit an error.  The host team, Cascade, scored one run on 3 hits and committed 6 errors.

Starting pitcher Riley Litzsinger held Cascade scoreless in the top half of the first inning.  Pendleton responded with 12 runs in the bottom of the inning on three Cascade errors, six walks, and singles from Alli Livesay, Riley Litzsinger, Darian Lindsey, Kelsee Cody, and Kiersten Murphy.  Pendleton added five more runs in the second inning to finish out the scoring.   Kelsee Cody was the only Pendleton hitter to record two hits.  All but one spot in the batting order for Pendleton produced a hit.       

Cascades only run came in the third inning after a lead-off single by Dabrielle Lowman, two subsequent walks, and a wild pitch.  Cascade is now 0 and 3 in pool play, after previous losses to Alaska and Southern California.             

Riley Litzsinger pitched three innings, allowing only two hits, walking four, and striking out three.  Alli Livesay pitched the fourth inning, striking out three Cascade batters, allowing only one hit,  and walking one.  

Pendleton is now 2-1, and will finish out pool play in a 1:00 Thursday game vs. the defending Western Region Champion Alaska.  Like Pendleton, the Alaskan team (Nunaka Valley from Anchorage) is 2-1 in pool play.  The winner of the Thursday contest will advance to the semi-finals as the number two team from Pool One in a 2:00 game Saturday.  The loser of the Pendleton vs. Alaska game will be eliminated from the tournament.

Boys stumble in semi-finals

The Pendleton 11-12 all stars were three outs away from a ticket to the state championship game when a dramatic Hood River rally turned a 3-run deficit into a 4-3 advantage. Quinn Cockburn led off the bottom of the first for Pendleton with a home run and for 4 and a 1/2 innings, it looked like that might be only numbers on the board. Pendleton's Quinn Cockburn and Hood River's Ryan Ward stifled their opponents with a mixture of pitches that kept the batters consistently off balance. For the game, Ward scattered five hits while striking out 6. Cockburn yielded 7 hits, but only 3 before the last inning, and struck out 8. Pendleton strung together hits by Jon Gonzalez and Kyler Lunny along with an intentional walk to Quinn Cockburn in the bottom of the fifth to set the table for Jack Peterson's 2-RBI double. Hood River went to work quickly in the top of the sixth, however, following a leadoff double with an infield single and then a home run by Frank Jackson to even the score at 3. After another single, two Pendleton miscues on a Hood River bunt allowed the eventual winning run to score. Jake Engelson came in to pitch for Pendleton, retiring the next three batters and then Pendleton went down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning to end the game.

 

Hood River will play the winner of tonight's Murrayhill/Cascade game for the state championship and a trip to the Little League World Series Western Regionals.

Quinn Cockburn pitched 3 & 1/3 innings, striking out 9, allowing 1 walk and no hits. James Bradt completed the final 2/3. The hitting barrage by Pendleton included homers by Quinn Cockburn, Jack Peterson and Devon Roe. Pendleton's next pool play game is Monday, 5:30 p.m. against Medford, who lost their opening game to Murrayhill.

Pendleton scored 20 runs on 19 hits and committed 3 errors.  Hood River scored 3 runs on 3 hits and committed 2 errors.  
 
Hood River took the lead in the top of the first with a one out double to right field by Jessica DeHart.  Although the next batter grounded out to the pitcher, DeHart advanced to third on the out, and scored on the return throw to third that bounced in the dirt and got by the fielders.  
 
Pendleton responded in the bottom of the first inning with four consecutive base hits by Darian Lindsey, Mykal Weissenfluh, Ellie Richards and Tiah Grass.  Lindsey and Weissenfluh opened with bunt singles, Richards lined a shot into right field for an RBI, and Grass hit a bomb down the left field line that bounced off the fence driving in 2 more runs.  A walk and consecutive RBI singles by Payton Hergert, Kiersten Murphy and Alexis Morrison brought the score to 6 to 0, and Pendleton was back to the top of the line-up.  Lindsey scored again to Load the bases once more.  Weissenfluh hit a single up the middle to drive in two more.  By the time Hood River made a pitching change with only one out in the first inning, Pendleton had scored eight runs.                         
 
After the change, a walk, followed by RBI singles from Alli Livesay and Kelsee Cody, brought the score to 12 to 1 before Hood River retired the side.  Pendleton added 2 more runs in the 2nd inning, and 6 in the bottom of the 3rd. 
 
Hood River tacked on their final 2 runs in the 3rd inning.  With 2 outs Jessica DeHart hit a grounder down the first base line that hit the bag and bounced into right field.  The next batter hit a grounder that got by the 2nd basemen and rolled into right field.  The runners advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a subsequent throwing error.            
 
For the day, Lindsey finished with 3 hits, 4 runs, and 2 RBI's.  Weissenfluh finished with 3 hits, 3 runs and 3 RBI's.  Grass had 3 hits, 2 of which were doubles, 3 runs scored, and 4 RBI's.  Richards, Livesay, Kiersten Murphy and Alexis Morrison each had 2 hits.

Congratulations girls and good luck at regionals!

Kelsee Cody pitched a complete game for Pendleton, allowing only 1run, on 1 hit, while striking out 5 batters and walking 4. Although Cascade managed to get runners on base in all but one inning, Cody recorded at least one strikeout in each inning, and Pendleton's defense continued to make plays behind her. Cascade scored their lone run of the game in the fourth when a batter reached base via a walk, and ended up scoring on an infield single. In addition to giving up only one hit, Cody did not allow one ball to be hit out of the infield in the game.

Like they have done in each of their previous 3 games, Pendleton jumped on top early by scoring 9 runs in the 1st inning. Darian Lindsey had a bunt single to lead-off the bottom half of the 1st. Mykal Weissenfluh followed with a walk, and Ellie Richards doubled to right center to drive in Lindsey. Tiah Grass then drew a walk to load the bases. After a wild pitch allowed the 2nd run to score, Alli Livesay drew the 3rd walk of the inning to re-load the bases. Another wild pitch brought in Richards to make the score 3 to 0. After Cascade recorded their first out of the inning, Payton Hergert drove a ball to the outfield that glanced off the glove of the centerfielder, bringing in 2 more runs. Pendleton added on more runs after RBI singles by Korie Campbell and Darian Lindsey. Weissenfluh drew her 2nd walk of the inning, Richards followed with her 2nd double of the inning, and Tiah Grass closed out the inning with a single.

Pendleton scored its final 3 runs in the 2nd inning on a walk, 3 singles by Hergert, Korie Campbell, and Kiersten Murphy, a fielders choice, and a sacrifice fly.

Offensively for Pendleton, Lindsey was 2 for 2 on the day while scoring 2 runs. Weissenfluh walked twice and scored 2 runs. Richards had 2 doubles and drove in 3 runs. Korie Campbell was 2 for 2 with 3 RBI's. Kelsee Cody had the only other extra base hit of the game, a double to center field.

Pendleton started its scoring in the first inning on back to back singles by Darian Lindsey and Payton Hergert. A sacrifice fly by Tiah Grass to center field drove in the first run of the game. The second run scored on a throwing error at the plate. Pendleton continued the first inning rally on an Alli Livesay double and an RBI single by Kelsee Cody. Pendleton added eight more runs in the second inning on six hits and two errors. The final two runs came in the 3rd inning.

Payton Hergert finished the game with three hits. Alexis Morrison was 2 for 3 with 2 doubles and 3 RBI's. Kiersten Murphy was 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored. The only other extra base hit of the game was a double by Alli Livesay in the first inning.

Friday, July 16: Pendleton 10, Hood River 0 (4 innings)

Pendleton scored 10 runs on 9 hits and did not commit an error. Hood River scored 0 runs on 1 hit, and did not commit an error. After holding Hood River in the top of the first (three up three down), Pendleton scored two runs in the bottom of the first. Lead-off hitter Darian Lindsey hit a ground ball to the 2nd baseman, but Lindsey beat the throw to first for a single. After Mykal Weissenfluh drew a walk, both runners advanced on a fielders choice. The clean-up hitter, Tiah Grass, then hit a deep ball to dead center that was caught by the center fielder, but which was deep enough to allow both runners to tag up and score. Pendleton scored one more run in the 2nd inning. Kelsee Cody singled to lead-off the inning, and advanced to second on a passed ball. Payton Hergert then singled to score Cody. Pendleton scored another run in the 3rd after a couple walks and a passed ball. Pendleton put the game away in the bottom of the 4th with two walks, six hits, and a hit batter.

Darian Lindsey finished the day with two hits and two runs scored. Mykal Weissenfluh singled and scored three times. Ellie Richards had the only extra base hit of the game, a double. Tiah Grass finished with 2 RBI's. Kelsee Cody single and scored twice.

Ellie Richards pitched a complete game, facing one batter over the minimum, giving up one hit, striking out six, and not allowing a walk. The only Hood River girl to reach base lined a single up the middle that glanced off the mitt of Richards to lead-off the 2nd inning. Richards struck out the next two batters and was able to get the final batter to ground out to third.

10-11 girls finish 3rd at state
The 10-11 girls all star team lost on July 12  to the Sprague (District 7) all star team. The score was 13-12. The girls fought hard to come back and go ahead. Unfortunately, some tough calls and fatigue came into play.  The loss put the girls into the losers bracket to face Hermiston. On Tuesday Bailey Hillmick went to the mound to face Hermiston and pitched a great game. The girls ended up losing the tough game to the district 5 champs, 11-10. It went right up until the last out. Both teams fought very hard and wanted to win this game to go on to the championship on Wed. It just wasn't Pendleton's turn. Katlyn Spencer hit a home run in the game and we saw some great play from Haley Bradley and Tatum Fell. Sprague defeated Hermiston 11-7 to claim the state title.

Tuesday, July 20
9-10, 10-11 boys complete state tournament
The 9-10 and 10-11 boys' completed play at the state tournament, never finding the rhythm that led them to the district championship.  The 9-10 boys fell to Scappoose 11-1 on July 12. The 10-11 boys lost to West Salem 11-1 on July 12 and came up short against Wilshire Riverside, 6-2, on July 13.

Sunday, July 11
10-11 girls open with victory
Winning district by default is a mixed blessing. On the plus side, you advance to the state tournament but on the negative side, you don't have the benefit of fine-tuning your team through the competitive district games. The 10-11 girls proved there wasn't need for concern, however, opening state play Saturday with a 19-9 victory over Mt. Tabor/Montavilla. The team had a slow start but really got the bats going in the  bottom of the 4th. Bailey Hillmick was on the mound for the game and struck out 10. Deshon Dick went 3-3 with a triple, double and a walk. Frances James also contributed a triple. The girls take on Sprague/South Salem Monday at noon in Hood River.

9-10's Daniel Naughton works from the mound.

The 10-11 boys' team opened with losses to Reynolds Saturday (13-3) and Bend North Sunday (3-0).  Their next game is Monday evening against West Salem who is currently 2-0 in the tournament.

The 9-10 boys jumped to an early lead, scoring 5 runs in the first inning, but eventually succumbed to Ashland in 8 innings, 8-7. Bryson Pierce pitched first throwing 35 pitches in 2 innings.  Daniel Naughton took the mound with a score of 6-2 and held them through 2.5 innings.  Nick Bower pitched next throwing all 75 pitches and giving up 4 runs.  Kaden Clark finished out the 8th inning when Bower ran out of pitches.  Pendleton added one more run in the 7th and Ashland tied it up in the bottom of the 7th.  Pendleton did not get any runs in the top of the 8th and Ashland was able to add a run with 2 outs on a short bobbled hit to Kaden Clark to win the game. 

The Pendleton 9-10 boys will play Monday evening, taking on the winner of today's Scappoose/Grants Pass American game.

Saturday, July 3
11-12 boys move on to state
2010 11-12 champs

After breezing through five tournament games, some began to wonder how the Pendleton 11-12 All Star team would respond if faced with a tight contest for the championship. That question was answered Friday night as Pendleton eked out a 10-9 victory over La Grande when Caden Smith scored from third base on a wild pitch with two outs in the bottom of the sixth and a full count on the batter. La Grande had broken an 8-8 tie in the top of the inning on a solo homer by Kurt Boyd. It was a seesaw battle throughout the game as Pendleton jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second, only to see La Grande even things up in the next innning. A Jake Engelson home run helped Pendleton regain the advatage at 7-3 but a fifth inning La Grande rally, including a home run by JC Rogers, put La Grande back on top 8-7. Quinn Cockburn and Jack Peterson shared pitching duties for Pendleton while Kurt Boyd and Jake Workinger worked the mound for La Grande.

 

Pendleton will play in the state tournament in the Salem area beginning July 24.

11-12 boys to battle La Grande for title

The weather in La Grande cooled off but the Pendleton 11-12 All Stars' bats did not as Pendleton defeated Harney County 17-3 to earn a spot in Friday's 6:00 p.m. District 3 championship game against La Grande. While Pendleton recorded hits throughout the lineup, the top of the order was especially damaging to the opposition as leadoff hitter Quinn Cockburn smashed two homeruns and the number two and three hitters, Kai Quinn and Caden Smith, hit one each. Wes Persinger threw all four innings for Pendleton.



Thursday, July 1
10-11 boys take on Baker for district title tonight
The 10-11 boys put themselves in the driver's seat by opening the four-team, double-elimination tournament with back-to-back wins.  Pendleton came out firing on all cylinders Sunday against Union County, scoring 30 runs while pitchers Johnny Malcom and Jesse Coles yielded zero runs on zero hits. Pendleton's game with La Grande was much tighter as Pendleton held a slim 5-4 advantage heading into the last inning. But the bats started working again and Pendleton exploded for twelve runs, finishing with a 17-4 victory. Mekhi Foreman, Johnny Malcom and Joe Bogdan pitched for Pendleton. Pendleton will square off against Baker tonight at 7:00 p.m. with a win garnering them the title and a loss setting up a rematch Friday night.

9-10 boys claim district championship
2010 D3 9-10 champs
The Pendleton 9-10 boys defeated La Grande 4-3 Wednesday for the Oregon Little League District 3 championship and a berth in the state tournament beginning July 10, 2010 in Gresham. La Grande jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, scoring on a pitch that got away from the catcher. But starting pitcher Bryson Pierce settled down and escaped without any further damage. Pierce helped get that run back quickly, leading off with a double for Pendleton and later scored on a 3-run blast to dead center field by Nick Bower. The eventual winning run came in the bottom of the fifth inning, courtesy of an Easton Phelan ground ball to shortstop that scored Parker Smith from third base. Daniel Naughton worked out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the sixth to preserve the victory.

Boys' 11-12 complete pool play undefeated

Sunday, June 27: Pendleton 10, Milton-Freewater 0

The Pendleton and Milton-Freewater 11-12 All Stars engaged in a classic pitchers' duel Sunday before Pendleton broke open the game with eight runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to seal the 10-0 victory. Despite fielding a team comprised entirely of players with previous post season experience, Pendleton Manager Scott Roe felt his team came out "a little uptight." He attributed that to the fact that "they know they have to win to move on." He said the combination of Jon Gonzalez's solo homer in the fourth and Milton-Freewater starting pitcher Hunter Yensen's departure in the fifth provided the spark his team needed. "Yensen was hittting his spots. He threw primarily fastballs but mixed in some off speed." Pendleton starting pitcher Quinn Cockburn was also dialed in, allowing only one hit over five innings while recording thirteen of the fifteen outs by strikeout. "Cockburn was dominant and exactly what we expected" Roe explained. "He mixes up his pitches really well and keeps the hitters off balance." Cockburn also helped himself at the plate by going two for three with a walk and three runs scored.

Monday, June 28: Pendleton 22, Pilot Rock 2

The Pendleton 11-12 All Stars continued their torrid hitting Monday, defeating Pilot Rock 22-2 in four innings. "We looked dominating the whole game, both on the mound and at the plate" Pendleton Manager Scott Roe commented. After Sunday's slow start, Roe was relieved to see a different look to his team today. "They played relaxed today and appeared to be having a lot more fun on the field." Wes Persinger, James Bradt, Jack Peterson and Jon Gonzalez each worked an inning on the mound in holding Pilot Rock to just two hits. Pendleton's hitting barrage included home runs by Quinn Cockburn and Jake Engelson (grand slam). Devin Hasher and Riley Lankford shared pitching duties for Pilot Rock. Roe summed up his team's play in this way: "They went and did what they were asked to do. They performed."

Tuesday, June 29: Pendleton 13, Baker 0

After a scoreless first inning, the Pendleton 11-12 All Star team led off the second frame with back to back homers by Devon Roe and Wes Persinger to ignite an offense that would go on to score thirteen runs on fourteen hits over the next three innings. Zack Myers added two home runs and Marc Rasmussen one. In the field, Caden Smith, Jake Engelson and Wes Persinger combined for the no-hit shutout. Pendleton manager Scott Roe wasn't happy that "we walked a few too many guys today but outside of that, everything was positive. I think everybody is seeing the ball very well."

Wednesday, June 30: Pendleton 16, Wallowa Valley 1

The Pendleton 11-12 All Star team completed pool play Wednesday with a record of four wins and no losses after defeating Wallowa Valley 16-1. Throughout the tournament, Pendleton has paired a potent offense with stingy pitching to end all their games in less than six innings. Wednesday was no exception as the team amassed 16 hits, led by Quinn Cockburn, 4 for 4 with a grand slam, and Kai Quinn, 4 for 4 with four runs scored. Pitchers Marc Rasmussen, Jack Peterson and Kyler Lunny combined to hold Wallowa Valley to just two hits. Pendleton will play Harney County at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the semi-finals with the winner of that game advancing to Friday's district championship game.

Tuesday, July 28
Boys lose a close one
The Pendleton 11-12 boys lost to Parrish Monday night, 4-3, to complete their games in the state tournament.

Sunday, July 26
11-12 boys dig themselves a hole
The Pendleton 11-12 boys lost to Wilshire/Riverside Saturday, 10-4. After falling behind early, 2-0, Pendleton rebounded to take a 4-2 lead into the sixth inning. Brady Smith, T.J. Hancock and Alex O'Rourke divided time on the mound. The boys will need to win their last pool play game Monday night against Parrish and have a little help to advance to the semi-finals.

Saturday, July 25
10-11 boys take 3rd in state
Behind the pitching of Wes Persinger, the 10-11 boys defeated Central Point today, 4-2, to finish third in the state tournament. Kyler Lunny started the game with a leadoff triple and scored on an infield single by Jon Gonzalez to give Pendleton a lead they would never relinquish. Jake Engelson pitched the sixth inning for the save.

Friday, July 24
Boys battle but succumb to Reynolds
If the Pendleton 10-11 boys have proven one thing during the state tournament, it is that their games are going to be exciting. In a back and forth battle today, Pendleton fell to Reynolds, 10-8. Both teams put runs on the board in the sixth inning, Reynolds scoring six to regain the lead and Pendleton coming up with three to make Reynolds nervous about keeping the lead. Marc Rasmussen, James Bradt and Devon Markle worked on the mound for Pendleton. On the offensive side, the top half of the order did most of the damage for Pendleton, with Kyler Lunny, Jon Gonzalez and Wes Persinger recording multiple hits. Coach Scott Roe summed up the game this way: "I was proud of the kids, the way they battled. Unfortunately, our pitching struggled with walks and we had one inning where we fell apart in the field." Reynolds moves on to play for the state championship Saturday. Pendleton will face the loser of tonight's Central Point/Hood River game for third place.

Friday, July 24
Girls take 3rd in state
In the 10-11 girls' softball semi-finals Thursday, Pendleton lost to Klamath Falls, 10-0, to finish in third place.

Friday, July 24
Boys start slow in Eugene
The Pendleton 11-12 boys lost to Klamath Falls, 4-0, in opening day action of the state tournament Thursday. Their next game is Saturday against Wilshire/Riverside.

Thursday, July 23
Girls slug their way into semi-finals
The Pendleton 10-11 girls outlasted Cascade Wednesday morning, 18-17 in eight innings, to advance to today's semi-final game against Klamath Falls. The winner of that game will face Tigard Friday for the championship.

Wednesday, July 22
10-11 girls stay alive in Baker
After an opening-day loss to Tigard (12-0), the Pendleton 10-11 girls rebounded to defeat Centennial Tuesday, 9-3. They'll face District 7 champion Cascade today at 10:00 a.m.  

Wednesday, July 22
Boys advance to "final four"

Kyler Lunny's bases-loaded infield single in the bottom of the seventh inning drove in James Bradt from third base to give the Pendleton 10-11 boys a 1-0 victory over Hollywood Tuesday night. Lunny also continued his stellar play in center field, making a couple of diving plays to keep the opposing base runners in check. Jake Engelson and Wes Persinger combined for shutout. The win earned Pendleton second place in pool "B" and a spot in the state semi-finals Friday at 4:00 p.m. where they will face the winner of pool "A." 



Sunday, July 19
Boys' comeback falls short
In a reversal of Saturday's game, the Pendleton 10-11 boys found themselves at the short end of a close game, losing to Hood River by a score of 4-3. They may need to send someone back to Baker, host of the district tournament, to look for their bats as they came up missing again in today's game. Pendleton's lone hit came on a double to centerfield by Wes Persinger. Despite a lack of offense, Pendleton was still in the game but some sloppy fielding ultimately led to their demise. Marc Rasmussen went the distance on the mound and aided his own cause with an RBI on a sacrifice fly. The boys' next game is Tuesday evening against Hollywood as they fight to finish in one of the top spots in their pool.

Saturday, July 18
10-11 boys open state tourney with a victory
After barreling through the district tournament and defeating each opponent by ten runs or more, the Pendleton 10-11 all-star team was expecting tougher competition at the state level. They weren't disappointed in Saturday's opening-day game as the Medford American team and pitcher Greyson Wolff held the Pendleton offense in check, allowing only a handful of hits. Pendleton proved they were proficient at small ball too, though,  stringing together a pair of doubles by James Bradt with a couple of passed balls and infield singles by Andrew Porter and Kyler Lunny to escape with a 2-1 victory. Assistant Coach Jeff Persinger attributed the victory to "great pitching and defense." Jake Engelson started on the mound before moving to shortstop after three innings. James Bradt  pitched the last three innings, striking out the final Medford batter with the tying and go-ahead runs on second and third.

Saturday, July 18
11-12 boys head to state

After cruising through the tournament games prior to the championship, some might have wondered how the Pendleton 11-12 boys would respond to playing in a tight game. Alex O'Rourke answered that question with a solo homer in the bottom of the sixth inning that propelled Pendleton past La Grande, 4-3, and on to the state tournament. In addition to that hit, tough pitching from Brady Smith and T.J. Hancock and some nice plays by Logan Anderson at third base helped seal the victory.

View the state tournament schedule here.



Thursday, July 16

Monday, July 13

Girls stumble in championship
The Pendleton 9-10 girls lost to Milton-Freewater in Thursday's District 3 championship game, 14-4.

Skills competition added to opening weekend festivities

Opening weekend activities start Friday night, April 10, with the Aquafina Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit & Run Contest. This is a free skills competition that provides boys and girls, ages 7 to 14, the opportunity to showcase their pitching, hitting and running abilities. Winners can advance through four levels of competition, including Team Championship events at the 30 Major League ballparks and the National Finals at the MLB All-Star Game.

Easton Phelan connects during last year's Aquafina Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit & Run Contest.

Registration starts at 4:00 p.m. and they will accomodate as many as possible before the awards at 7:00 pm. Get there early to guarantee participation. Copy of birth certificate and signed waiver required. For more information, contact Pendleton Parks & Recreation at 966-0228.
The traditional Little League BBQ will begin at 6:00 p.m. on field #4. We will have hamburgers, hotdogs, salads, chips, ice cream and Pepsi products so plan to bring the entire family for dinner. The cost will be $4.00 per person.
The announcing of the teams, coaches and sponsors will begin around 7:30 pm. Please have your children line up with their teams on field #3 at approximately 7:15 p.m. When announced, teams will enter onto field #1 through the left field gate. The order in which teams will be announced is as follows: AA Girls, A Boys, AAA Girls, AA Boys, Majors Girls, AAA Boys, Senior Girls and Majors Boys. We'll also include the Pilot Rock teams that will be playing with us this year.
Saturday, April 11, will be our 4th annual Opening Day Parade. We will follow the same route as last year. We will line up on the north side of the Main Street bridge in the public parking lot at 9:30 a.m. Due to traffic and safety concerns, children need to be dropped off in front of the First Christian Church or Pendleton Arts Center and they will be escorted across the street to the parking lot. The order of participants will be the same as Friday night's team introductions so if you would do your best to line up behind the group that is in front of you, it would be greatly appreciated. We will begin our march at 10:00 a.m. and proceed down Main Street to the parking lot across from the Chamber of Commerce. Please encourage your kids and parents to "spice" up your team's presentation. Some possible ideas are helium balloons, signs, streamers on sticks or American flags, just to name a few.
As teams reach the end of the parade route, coaches will escort their teams into the Chamber of Commerce parking lot where parents can then pick up their children. Buses will be waiting to transport the teams playing the first games Saturday to the Little League Park.

Little League to enforce new bat standard this year
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF A NEW COMPOSITE METAL BAT FOR USE IN LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL (Major Division and below), BE SURE THAT THE BAT YOU ARE PURCHASING HAS THIS MARKING:  BPF 1.15 ON THE BARREL OR HANDLE OF THE BAT.  IF NOT, IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FOR PLAY IN LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES.  
 
Little League officials are aware that there are bats for sale in stores, online or that may have already been purchased that are Little League approved, but do not have the required bat performance standard (BPF) markings.  In fact, some of the bats on the Little League approved bat list may not carry the required BPF 1.15 marking on the bat, depending on when they were manufactured and licensed. Currently manufacturers are conducting an inventory and re-testing of all approved bats.  The results of this study / retesting is to be finished by March 31, 2009.  We are building a list of certain bats that are approved, but do not have the BPF marking due to special circumstances.  For these bats, we are extending eligibility for play until December 31, 2009.  As we are made aware of bats that meet our criteria for this extension, we will add them to the list.  Please check this list regularly for updates.  HOWEVER, ONLY BATS WITH THE BPF 1.15 MARKING AND THE BATS ON THIS LIST WILL BE ALLOWED FOR PLAY IN 2009.   

Bats with the special exception include the following:

Adidas Vanquish Blue design   (There is a newer model of this bat, also named the Vanquish and it has copper and black markings.  It contains the proper labeling and therefore is not subject to the one-year rule).
 
DeMarini  -   Black Coyote, Rogue, Distance, Rumble, Tengu, Mach 10, Patriot
 
Easton   -   LZ-810, LZ-800, Stealth Optiflex LST 1, 
 
Louisville Slugger - YB31
 
NIKE -  Areo

Opening weekend message to parents and coaches

Opening weekend activities start Friday night, April 11, with the traditional BBQ at the Little League Park (field #4) beginning at 6:00 p.m. We will have hamburgers, chips and Pepsi products so plan to bring the entire family for dinner. The Main Street Cowboys will be cooking on 4 barbeques so there will be plenty of food for everybody. The cost will be $3.50 per person.
The announcing of the teams, coaches and sponsors will begin around 7:00 pm. Please have your children line up with their teams on field #3 at approximately 6:45 p.m. When announced, teams will enter onto field #1 through the left field gate. The order in which teams will be announced is as follows: AA Girls, A Boys, AAA Girls, AA Boys, Majors Girls, AAA Boys, Senior Girls and Majors Boys. We'll also include the Pilot Rock teams that will be playing with us this year.
Saturday, April 12, will be our 4th annual Opening Day Parade. We will follow the same route as last year. We will line up on the north side of the Main Street bridge in the public parking lot at 9:30 a.m. Due to traffic and safety concerns, children need to be dropped off in front of the First Christian Church or Pendleton Center for the Arts and they will be escorted across the street to the parking lot. The order of participants will be the same as Friday night's team introductions so if you would do your best to line up in the correct group order, it would be greatly appreciated. We will begin our march at 10:00 a.m. and proceed down Main Street to the parking lot across from the Chamber of Commerce. Please encourage your kids and parents to "spice" up your team's presentation. Some possible ideas are helium balloons, signs, streamers on sticks or American flags, just to name a few.
As teams reach the end of the parade route, coaches will escort their teams into the Chamber of Commerce parking lot where parents can then pick up their children. Buses will be waiting to transport the teams playing the first games Saturday to the Little League Park.
