Tillamook baseball is flirting with something they haven’t done in years, making the playoffs. But, to get that post-season berth they need to make up for two early league losses to Seaside by making sure they get the easy wins because Astoria and Banks are both leading Tillamook in the league and they’re not showing any signs of slowing down. With that said, when Tillamook went to Yamhill-Carlton on April 22 and then hosted the Tigers on April 24, they needed both wins badly to keep pace. Especially since after the Tigers they had to travel to play a very good Banks team on April 26.

While Matt Strang has been excellent, Dean Klugh has thrown exceptionally well when called on for Tillamook.
Tillamook @ Y.C. If there’s been a constant for the Cheesemakers this season, it’s been Matt Strang’s pitching. He’s been excellent and the Tigers got a front row seat to a show in the two teams’ first meeting. To put it mildly Strang was on. It wasn’t a monster strikeout game like he’s capable of, but the defense played well behind him and he used only four strikeouts to throw a nohitter for the Mooks. Something he seems to be sniffing around every time he takes the hill. “Our defense was outstanding behind Matt,� said Tillamook assistant coach Mike Fossbind. “He’s such a dominant pitcher and that mixed with good defense and a strong wind blowing straight in, it was a great scenario for Matt to pitch in.� Tillamook’s offense hit from the top of the line-up all the way to the bottom, spreading out eight hits in the game and only one strikeout. Besides pitching well, three of the hits came from Strang and another two came from his battery mate, Aj Harmon. The Mooks got the win, 6-1, but Fossbind wasn’t totally happy with the way the team went about business in the games. “We are really dangerous when we put our minds to it, but I think one of our problems as a team is we settle with good enough,� Fossbind explained. “When I played, if we were up by six, I wanted to be up by seven and we don’t always think that way.�

Tillamook vs. Y.C. After an incredible pitching performance from Strang in the first game, Tillamook went with Dean Klugh in the second match up with Y.C., but Klugh wasn’t any less effective. Tillamook’s bats got hot early and they managed to get out of the game with a 5-inning mercy rule win at 11-0, but Klugh was the story. Klugh managed to get through all five innings only throwing 66 pitches, which breaks down to 4.4 pitches per out. “Dean has been a gem for us on the mound this season,� Fossbind said. “He hits his corners so well and he works fast and lets the defense play behind him.� Tillamook did tally up 12 hits in the game with three coming from Sean Rummage and two from Garrett Anderson and Eddie Barajas.

Tillamook @ Banks Tillamook was riding a four game winning streak when they went to the league-leading Braves home field on a very warm afternoon with the mercury rising into the 80’s. Chalk it up to Banks being a very good hitting team, or the heat getting to Tillamook, but they looked flat compared to the Braves as soon as the first pitch was thrown. Banks got one run of Tillamook starter Damien Brown in the first but after an error on a ground ball that should have ended the second inning, the Braves touched up Brown for nine runs in the second inning. “I tried as hard as I could to put it where they couldn’t hit it, but they were a really good hitting team,� said starting pitcher Damien Brown. “There were a few errors but there wasn’t anything I could do about a lot of those hits. We just have to shake this one off and get to the next one.� Tillamook looked like the wind was taken out of their sails on the hot afternoon and though they did manage a few runs, they never threatened and lost the game, 10-2. The Cheeesemakers will host Banks on April 30 followed by a game at Seaside on May 1 and at home against Astoria on May 3.
