Mount Hood blanks RiverDogs
GRESHAM — Shannon Wirth fired a five-hit shutout to lead the Mount Hood Cardinals to a 3-0 victory over the Southern Oregon RiverDogs in an amateur
baseball game Friday.
Wirth, a right-hander who played for Mount Hood Community College in the spring, struck out seven in handcuffing the RiverDogs and halting their 12-game
win streak.
Southern Oregon’s Mike McInerney pitched well in defeat, limiting Mount Hood to eight hits and yielding no earned runs.
Mount Hood scored the only run it would need in the bottom of the third inning when Mike Hall led off with a single, moved to second and third on an
error and scored on Derek Engleke’s RBI groundout.
The Cardinals added a run in the fourth inning on Kasey Ferris’ RBI single and made it 3-0 in the seventh when Hall again singled and eventually
scored on an error.
The RiverDogs (18-9) left eight runners on base, including seven in scoring position.
Phil Ouellette went 2-for-4 at the plate for the RiverDogs, who meet the Cardinals in a doubleheader today beginning at 1 p.m.
