Dalton Hurd is doing everything in his power to get Bend High back to the Class 5A state baseball championship.

The Lava Bear senior standout led Bend to an 8-1 home win over crosstown rival Summit on Monday, going 3 for 4 with a double, a solo home run and three RBIs at the plate in addition to earning the complete game victory. Hurd allowed just four hits — all singles — while striking out three and walking one at Bend High.

“He was a little nervous early but settled down,” Lava Bear coach Bret Bailey said about Hurd.

Hurd broke open a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fourth with a solo home run off Storm starter Nick Mason. The Bears (1-0, 9-3 overall) scored two more runs the fourth to grab a 3-0 lead. Sparked by Creighton Simmons’ two-run double, Bend scored five more runs in the bottom of the sixth and led 8-0. Summit (0-1, 5-4) broke up Hurd’s shutout bid with a run in the seventh to make the final score 8-1.

“I was pleased with the way we came into the game,” said Bailey, whose team continues its three-game series with the Storm on Wednesday, again at Bend High. “We were very businesslike.”
