PILOT ROCK — The march to remain at the top of the 2A/1A Special District 7 standings continued for the Union/Cove baseball team as the Bobcats took two wins on the road over Pilot Rock on Saturday, April 27.

The bats were moving for the Bobcats as Union/Cove cruised to a 16-3 victory in game one of the day. Micah Jayne led the way, going 4-for-5 batting with two doubles and three RBIs. Morgan Johnson also was 4-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs.

Although the Rockets were able to place a few runs on the board in game two, Union/Cove made the day perfect with an 18-7 victory. Jayne’s hot hitting continued as he again went 4-for-5 with two doubles, three RBIs and added four stolen bases. Tee Ledbetter was perfect in the game, batting 4-for-4 with four RBIs and six stolen bases.

“The team played well and did what they needed to stay undefeated in league play,” Union/Cove head coach Greg Poor said.

Due to problems obtaining officials, the game originally scheduled for April 30 has been rescheduled to May 1. Union/Cove (10-7 overall, 9-0 2A/1A Special District 7) will travel to John Day to meet Grant Union/Prairie City/Monument (13-6 overall, 9-0 2A/1A Special District 7). The game marks the first of three games the two teams will play as the Bobcats close out the regular season at home on May 4 with a doubleheader.
