TURNER, Ore.–  Though a forfeit in a 2-2 tie, a win is a win.

For 50/70 Intermediate Head Coach Chris Brown and his Nine, they challenged the short-handed State Champions West Salem 50/70 Intermediate Squad. Dylen Wolf pitching a solid six innings while permitting one earned run as they were on the receiving end of the forfeit.

“They did great,” said Brown on his team.  “(I’m) really proud. Super proud of how they are learning to play as a team. Great group of young men.”

The group of 12 and 13 year-olds turned two double-plays and were down 2-1 at one point in the game before having a steal at home that knotted up at two before darkness ended the game.
