SH finishes 2nd in
league baseball race
The Huskies bounced back
from an early deficit Friday at home
in baseball against Junction City to
finish second in the Sky-Em, and
they will host Central in the state
playoffs play-in game Friday at
4:30 p.m.
Sweet Home defeated Cottage
Grove 7-3 on the road May 8.
The .Huskies finished the regu-
lar season 12-13 overall and 10-5
in league. Elmira tied the Huskies
in league play, but the Huskies won
two of three games against Elmira
to secure second.
Sweet Home coaches have
scouted Central a couple of times,
but they haven't played against
the Panthers, said Coach Matt
Matuszak. Central is young, but the
team has a lot of talent.
• Like the Huskies, the Panthers
started the season with a weak re-
cord, Matuszak said, but after set-
fling into their new coach's system,
they bounced back and picked up a
few more wins later in the season.
Central is 7-8 in the Oregon
West Conference, which includes
tough teams like Philomath, 15-0,
and Newport, 9-6. Central finished
ahead of Cascade, 7-8, by winning
two of three games against the Cou-
gars during regular season.
Central did a good job down
the stretch, Matuszak said. "It's go-
ing to be a great test. It's going to
be a great baseball game."
It'll come down to who ex-
ecutes the most and makes the least
number of mistakes, he said.
The Huskies haven't hosted
playoff games too often in recent
years, Matuszak said, so he is urg-
ing the community to come out and
support the team.
Sweet Home 11, Junction City 6
The Huskies scored the first
run in the first inning, but Junction
City had a big inning against the
Huskies in the top of the second,
taking a 6-1 lead.
"They did a great job and hit
the ball really well," Matuszak-
Said. Cory Hanks was pitching the
ball high up in "the zone, and the Ti-
gers took advantage of it.
Junction City had a couple
of shots blown out into no-man's
land, and then the Huskies gave up
a couple of errors to give up the ad-
vantage in the game.
"I was very, very happy the way
the kids bounced back," Matuszak
said. They put their heads down
