Aloha defeats Spokane

The Spokesman-Review

Aloha scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning and the Knights defeated the Spokane RiverHawks 7-3 on Monday night in West Coast Collegiate Baseball League action in Gresham, Ore.

The RiverHawks (22-10), who still have a two-game lead over Wenatchee in the WCCBL, tied the game in the top of the seventh when Nick Froman scored on a fielding error.

Bryan Donohue walked and Brent Morel singled to reach base in the seventh. Jared Prince hit a two-run triple before scoring for the Knights (18-14) on a Matt Hibbitts single. Hibbitts stole second and Ryan Selden singled to drive in the final run of the inning.

Darin Holcomb finished 1 for 3 for Spokane with an RBI and Greg Biagi was 1 for 4. Chris Bozo added the only other hit for the RiverHawks.

Spokane finishes the three-game series against Aloha today at 12:30 p.m. The RiverHawks return home Friday for a three-game series against Wenatchee at 6:30 p.m. at Avista Stadium.

Football

Adding hope and hype to the upcoming 100th year of Whitworth College football, three Pirates players head into the fall as preseason Division III All-Americans.

Michael Allan, Ryan Marshall and Joel Clark have all been named to at least one publication’s preseason All-America First Team.

Allan, a senior tight end from Bellevue, Wash., has been named to the Lindy’s Magazine and Don Hanson’s Football Gazette first teams. He is also a d3football.com second team choice. Allan finished 2005 as an AFCA Division III All-American after catching 36 passes for 693 yards and a school record 15 touchdowns.

Marshall, a junior cornerback from Salem, Ore., has been named to the Football Gazette and d3football.com first teams. He earned All-America honors last season after leading the Northwest Conference in interceptions and total passes defended. He finished with 35 tackles.

Clark, a senior quarterback from Spokane (Mt. Spokane), has been named to the Football Gazette first team. He shared First Team All-NWC honors last season after completing 63.8 percent of his passes for 2,234 yards with 29 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. He also ran for 434 yards and four more scores.

Whitworth returns 16 starters this season from a team that finished 5-3 in 2005. The season opens on Sept. 9 at the University of Redlands.
