Astoria baseball beats rival

Seaside hosted the Clatsop Clash part two on May 6. Although game one was close with Astoria winning 4-1, May 6’s game was not as the Fishermen put the hurt on their rivals with a 15-5 thrashing.

The game was competitive in the early part. Astoria opened the scoring with three runs in the top of the second only to see Seaside respond with four in the third.

A 4-3 lead was the last one the Seagulls would have as the Fishermen scored multiple runs from the fourth through the seventh to win by 10.

Astoria had 13 hits and 11 walks on the day. Garrett Hillard and Teague Palmberg had three runs batted in each, Merrick Benesch started on the mound and had two RBI’s, and Jacob Klepp walked four times.

For Seaside, the top of the lineup was very productive. Jake White and Hayden Halsen had two hits, and Tallen Kraushaar had three hits, but they were not able to slow down Astoria’s bats.

The victory means Astoria will win the season series after Seaside took it last year.
