Yamhill-Carlton 4, La Pine 2
PLEASANT HILL – Brycen Williams two-run double in the fourth inning lifted the Yamhill-Carlton baseball team to a 4-2 playoff victory over La Pine during Tuesday’s 3A Culminating Tournament matchup.
Trailing 1-0 entering the bottom of the fourth, the Tigers tied the game when Jacob Preston raced home on a passed ball. Tiger Reimann then walked to load the bases for Williams, who promptly smacked a first-pitch offering to leftfield.
Mikel Rivas added an insurance run in the sixth with an RBI single to right.
Wyatt Hurley pitched a one-hitter through the first four-and-a-third innings, striking out four and allowing three baserunners. Carson Robarts relieved Hurley in the fifth, securing the final eight outs for the save.
Rivas (3-4, stolen base) and Reimann (2-2) both had multiple hits for the Tigers.
Y-C plays Rainier in the tournament semifinals Saturday at noon; the playoff is held at Crescent Valley High School.
