Sandblasters Fall to Select
Renton Poole pitched around five Sandblasters’ errors, but the Capital City Select managed a 5-4 win yesterday over Three Rivers in the second day of play at the Papa’s Pizza Tournament in Eugene. Poole went the distance on the mound, striking out eight and allowing only six hits. The ‘Blasters also managed only six hits, but collected six walks… three of those for Sam Johnson.
Three Rivers had a chance to win it in the bottom of the seventh with the bases loaded and one out… but the Select turned two to force the extra inning.
