Sherman splits two

In the opener, Jacob Justesen threw a complete-game five-hitter with three strikeouts and five walks to get the win.

He also added a double, a run scored and an RBI, as the Huskies scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to win it, as an error on a ball hit by Justesen allowed Wyatt Stutzman to score the game-winner.

Kyle Fields added a hit, a run and an RBI, and Stutzman went 1 for 3 with two runs and an RBI.

Heppner got off to a fast start in the second game, scoring four runs in the second inning and three more in the third to go ahead 8-2.

Sherman chipped away and crept to within a 10-9 deficit with three runs in the fifth frame.

Still down one run in the seventh, Brett Troutman led off with a single, but then Sherman hit three consecutive flyouts to end the rally.

Bradley Moe had three hits, scored twice and drove in two runs to lead Sherman’s 10-hit attack.

Maverick Winslow added a hit, three walks and three runs.

Sherman (16-5 overall, 7-2 league) hosts Irrigon at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
