Jake Fife's one-out, deep single to right with the
bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh lifted Selah to a 2-1 Class 2A
regional baseball victory over Clarkston on Saturday at Davis High School.
Fife's single, on an 0-2 pitch, was the only hit of the
inning. The Vikings loaded the bases with two hit batsmen and a walk from
Clarkston pitcher Cary Conklin.
The win pushes Selah into today's 4 p.m. game against
East Valley-Yakima. The winner advances to the state semifinals Friday at
Yakima County Stadium.
Clarkston tied the game at 1-1 on a one-out single by
Tyler Gillie. Clarkston later loaded the bases with two outs in that inning,
but Fife notched his 10th strikeout of the game to work out of the jam.
Selah scored its first run in the second, when Cody
Collier, who finished 2-for-2, singled to center with one out and took third
on Trevor Dallman's double to left. Tyler Porter followed with an RBI single
to center.
Fife allowed four hits. Pinch-hitter Eric Speer led off
the fifth inning with a single to right to break up the no-hitter.
Selah's defense struggled with five errors, which
helped lead to Clarkston's unearned run.
