Dufur drubs Weston-McEwen in five

By ALEX BOSWORTH

     Dufur drubbed visiting Weston-McEwen Tuesday night by 13 runs, ending the game in the fifth inning, 19-6, at Dufur City Park.
     “We hit the ball really well,” coach Hollie Darden said. “The difference in the game was that [pitcher] C.J. Forrest shut them down [for most of the game].”
Forrest also provided the Rangers with some offense, connecting on two home runs and a single to bat in a whopping eight RBIs.
     Dufur spread the wealth though: Don Arthur had three RBIs, Mike Highfield had a triple and two singles, and Cody Frischman had a double.
     Dufur had 16 hits; seven Rangers had at least one RBI.
     Weston-McEwen’s Ryan Webb started on the mound and took the loss.
     Dufur put the game away early, taking advantage of seven walks.
Dufur hosts league-leading Heppner in a doubleheader this Saturday (11 a.m., Dufur City Park). Heppner edged out Dufur earlier in the season by the score of 10-9, surviving an early 7-0 deficit.
     “We’re going to have to hit and field if we want a chance,” Darden said. “They’re going to put the ball in [play].”

     The Dalles Wahtonka girls track and field team won 12 events and rolled past host Crook County in Tuesday’s Intermountain Conference dual meet, 96-44.
The squad was led by senior Elizabeth Alaimo, freshman Lindsey Rose and junior Andrea Bailey.
     Those three combined for one-third of TDW’s points, scoring a combined 33 points.
     Senior Gloria Alvarez and juniors Desirae Niko and Shaina Pasi also had standout days, while freshman Nicole Goodman and senior Micki McClain claimed event wins.
     Alaimo won the 100-meter high hurdles (16.28) and the high jump (5 feet), while taking second in the 300 hurdles (52.61).
     Rose won the long jump (14-5½) and triple jump (31-8), while Bailey won the 200 (26.02) and 400 (64.71), while helping both relays to victory.
The 4x100 (Laura North, Bailey, Sarah Anthony, LaNeisha Tilton) won in 52.135, while the 4x400 relay (Marie Miller, North, Nicole Westhafer, Bailey) won in 4:19.35.
     Alvarez won the 100 (13.51) and took second in the 200 (28.49); Niko placed second twice (100, 13.71; shot put, 32-4) and third once (100 hurdles, 18.30); Pasi won the shot (32-10) and took second in the discus (100-9).
     Goodman won the 800 (2:37.96), while McClain took the 3000 (13:57.82).
TDW swept the 100 hurdles with Tilton taking second (17.22), and placed 1-2 in the six other events (100, 200, 400, 800, shot put, and triple jump).
      The Dalles Wahtonka freshman Robert Tilton earned the high point status for the boys in Tuesday’s dual meet in Prineville.
     Tilton won three events and scored 15 points — but Crook County won the team race, edging TDW 74-71.
     Tilton won the 100-meter sprint (11.31), the 200 (23.61) and the long jump (19-0).
