The Vancouver Canadians took an early five-run lead, but the Eugene Emeralds battled back to cut the deficit to one run in the bottom of the ninth inning last night at PK Park. But that rally was cut short for Eugene, ending in a 5-4 loss. The loss also ended the season for the Emeralds who fell short in their quest to win the West Division of the Northwest League.
Athlete of the Week
Jason Garcia
The Sports Club, the Siuslaw News, and Coast Radio Sports congratulate sophomore soccer standout Jason Garcia as this week’s Athlete of the Week. Jason scored a goal and had 2 assists in Saturday’s standoff against Waldport. Coach Londi Tomaro said Jason’s work in the midfield to win and maintain possession of the ball helped to keep Waldport at bay and kept the game close. His efforts have been instrumental in Siuslaw’s 6-0-1 season.
Honorable mention goes to senior cross country runner Hannah Rannow who exhibited strength and stamina in her strong second place finish at the Paul Mariman Invitational on Saturday.
