The Brookings-Harbor varsity boys baseball team came into the week with a goal of playing themselves into the post-season and possibly post-season at home.
Since the team first met in early spring, coach Keith Wallin has been instilling the definition of goals to his young men… ‘an idea of the future or desired result that a person or a group of people envisions, plans and commits to achieve’.
As the regular season comes to a close, the Brookings-Harbor varsity boys baseball team has imposed itself not only into the post-season but has also possibly propelled itself into a home playoff situation.
On Monday the Bruins played Marshfield at Marshfield and handed them a 14-4 loss with both team play and outstanding individual effort.
On Thursday the two teams met again, and again, junior Roman Worthey picked up where he left off on Monday. In Monday’s game, Worthey led the team with four hits singling in the first, the third, the sixth, and then followed it up with a grand slam in the seventh. In Thursday’s game, Worthey drove in 5 runs off a double scoring one and then smashed yet another grand slam over the left field wall in the second inning.
Make no mistake, not only is individual play peaking at the right time, as a team coach Wallin’s Bruins are hitting on all cylinders. The Bruins in their last three games this week have combined for 37 runs off of 33 hits while defensively committing only 4 errors as a team.
The Bruin pitching and defensive games have been equally as impressive. Again in the same three-game period, the pitching staff has allowed only 8 hits and the Bruin defense has only allowed 8 runs in those same three games.
Anticipating a gap in gameplay before the playoff schedule is put together, coach Wallin has scheduled a non-league game against a powerful Cascade Christian team sitting at 11-7 in the 3A-6 Southern Cascade League.
The two teams will meet 4:00 pm next Wednesday, May 16th, at Cascade Christian.
