SUSANVILLE – The amazing Yreka Miners may have not only staked a claim to a share of the Northern Athletic League baseball title, they may have won it outright. An 8-2 win over the Lassen Grizzlies, last Friday, assured the Miners of at least a share of the crown. However, the Central Valley Falcons, who are currently tied with the Miners, may have used an illegal player in their game against Corning.

According to Yreka coach Jason Freitas, the North Section has ruled that CV will have to forfeit the Corning game, which would give Yreka an outright title. It would also mean a three-seed in the playoffs. CV has appealed the decision, and a final determination will be made on Tuesday, May 6.

Against Lassen, Yreka put up a run in the top of the first inning, two in the third, and five in the fourth, to lead 8-0. Lassen scored both of their runs in the bottom of the sixth. (more…)

WEED – The College of the Siskiyous Lady Eagles swept a pesky San Mateo softball squad to advance to round-two of the state playoffs. The Eagles won game-one 7-6, on Saturday, and game-two, 10-2, on Sunday.

Game-two was scoreless through the first two and a half innings, before COS got the offense cranked up in the bottom of the third inning.

Laura Thorp led of with a single. Ali Paz ripped a double and Thorp moved to third base. With Lady Eagles on second and third, and no outs, San Mateo brought in a relief pitcher to face Stephanie Zwetschke. Zwetschke hit a two-RBI single to put COS up 2-0. Zwetschke advanced all the way to third base, on a Katie Zauner base hit. Zwetschke and Zauner scored when Cheyanna Ohlrich singled, making it 4-0. Next up was Courtney Wooden, who launched a two-run big fly, giving the Lady Eagles a 6-0 lead after three innings. (more…)

ETNA – After getting off to a hot start, the Etna Lions Baseball team was having a late season melt down, losing three in a row, and four of their last five games. That may have changed last Friday, when they pounded Modoc (4-8, 5-15) in a double header, 16-1, and 9-2.

The Lions wasted no time in putting away game-one. Etna scored nine runs in the bottom of the first inning and seven more in the second to go up 16-0. Modoc’s lone run came in the top of the third inning, making the final 16-1.

Logan Dysert and Clint Johnson both went yard. Dysert was 3-3, with two runs, three RBI, and a walk. Johnson went 2-3, with two runs, two RBI, and a walk. Beau Branson was 2-3, with a run, a double, and a walk. Greg Monday scored three times, and went 2-3. Trevor Eastlick went 1-4, scored a run, and knocked in three. Jordan Pehle-Munson was 1-4, with 2 runs, two RBI, and a double. (more…)
