Estacada 10U team takes first place in North Marion tournament

Even without one of its best hitters, the Estacada 10U tournament team won the championship at the North Marion tournament the weekend of July 22.

In order to fill in holes, the team added three players to their roster, including one girl from Keizer.

The tournament began on Saturday with a 12-7 win over Yamhill-Carlton and a 10-0 win over Newberg. On Sunday, the Rangers faced Yamhill-Carlton again and won 14-0 the second time around.

In the championship, the girls played a team from Salem that had beaten them in the championship the week before. This time, however, the Rangers came out to win and defeated Salem 13-12.
