Two days after a 4-2 loss at Seaside, Astoria bounced back with a thrilling 9-8 win over the Gulls, last Wednesday at Ernie Aiken Field.
Trailing 8-6 entering the bottom of the seventh, Astoria scored three runs, capped by a walk-off, run-scoring single by Connelly Fromwiller.
Garrett Hillard walked to open the inning, stole second, took third on an error, and scored on a passed ball. Dylan Carlson also drew a walk, moved to second on a passed ball, and eventually scored the tying run on a passed ball.
With one out, Fromwiller singled to center to score Patrick Perdue-Anderson with the winning run.
Merrick Benesch was 3-for-4 with a double for Astoria.
Seaside defeats Astoria, 4-2
Most of the action took place in the sixth inning in the second Clatsop Clash of the baseball season, as Seaside hosted Astoria last Monday at Broadway Field.
The Gulls held a slim 1-0 lead through five innings, and the sixth inning saw two lead changes, resulting in an eventual 4-2 win for Seaside.
The Fishermen scored two runs in the top of the sixth, when Teague Palmberg reached on a one-out error. Niko Boudreau followed with a triple to right field, scoring Palmberg.
Moments later, Boudreau scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice bunt by Karson Hawkins.
Seaside rallied in the bottom of the sixth, starting with a one-out error.
Tallen Kraushaar’s single scored Jake White and tied the game at 2-2, and the Gulls tacked on two runs when Tanner Kraushaar reached on an error in the Astoria outfield, scoring Tallen Kraushaar and Lawson Talamantez.
Talamantez retired the side in order in the top of the seventh, finishing his complete game three-hitter with seven strikeouts and no walks.
Hawkins took the loss, scattering four hits (two by Talamantez) with six strikeouts and a walk.
