REDMOND — Trailing by two with only six outs remaining and its season on the line, someone — anyone — had to step into the batter’s box and deliver a big hit for the Ridgeview baseball team.

Not once, but twice, sophomore Aiden Scott came through to lift the Ravens past No. 6 Wilsonville and into the Class 5A semifinals with a 4-3 win in eight innings.

“I’m so happy we did it,” Scott said. “I was just telling myself to breathe. And I was up there breathing. I knew I had to do my job, so I went up and did my job.”

With two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning and a runner on third base, Scott laced a ball into left field to tie the game at three. Then, in the eighth inning, immediately after sophomore Ryden Nakamura tripled to lead off the inning, Scott, with a 1-2 count, again came through with a single to extend the Ravens’ season at least one more game with a matchup in the semifinals with No. 2 Thurston on Tuesday.

Nakamura scored. Scott was chased by his teammates that had poured out of the dugout before finally catching him in left field to celebrate the program’s best season in decade.

“It was a battle,” said Ridgeview coach Shane Nakamura. “We’ve been doing that all year. We start off a little slow, but we never give up. We keep pushing and fighting and clawing and being as relentless as possible.”

The Ravens had to be relentless to get past the Wildcats. Up until Scott’s final at bat, Ridgeview never held a lead. And for most of the game Wilsonville pitcher Wade Hagey had the goods on the mound.

“Yeah we were down and a lot of things didn’t go our way early,” said Ryden Nakamura. “But you just have to trust in your team and compete.”

Ridgeview went with freshman Finn Chambers on the mound in the crucial game, and the youngster delivered. He struck out the first four batters he faced, grinded through 4⅓ innings, worked out of jams when it looked as though the Wilsonville offense was on the edge of breaking the game open.

“Finn struggled a little with some of his pitches today,” Shane Nakamura said. “But, the thing is he competed, fought through all those scenarios and kept us in the game.”

Then senior Mason Scott, Aiden’s older brother, entered the game and all but shut down the Wildcats. In 3⅔ innings, Scott allowed one hit and struck out two. Most importantly, he didn’t give up a run. He did it mainly using a pitch that just last week he didn’t have in his arsenal.

“I developed a sinker about two days ago and that was basically all I was throwing,” Mason Scott said. “I just trusted my stuff and had a lot of confidence that I could fill up the strike zone.”

Wilsonville jumped on Ridgeview in the first inning when Berkley Reents singled home a run. Ridgeview tied the game in the third inning off a sacrifice fly from junior Logan Nakamura. Wilsonville retook the lead on a fielder’s choice in the fourth inning then extended the lead to 3-1 after an RBI triple by Connor Johnston. The game nearly didn’t need extra innings after a one-out triple from freshman Diego Lopez in the seventh. But the Ravens were unable to bring him across to end the game.

What Ridgeview couldn’t get done in the seventh, the team got done in the eighth.

“Those types of moments, I don’t think I’m speaking for myself, but for everyone who plays baseball — you feel like you are on top of the world,” Ryden Nakamura said. “It is just such a great feeling.”

Class 5A quarterfinals

No. 8 Summit 5, No. 1 Canby 2: Last year, as the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, Summit was upset in the first round. This year, the Storm flipped the script by taking down the No. 1 seed in the quarterfinals to keep their season alive.

Summit (15-12) traveled to take on top-seeded Canby, and behind a complete-game gem from junior Alex Via, the Storm rolled past the Cougars 5-2 Friday evening.

Via went the distance striking out nine Cougar batters while allowing just six hits and two earned runs. But he also came through at the plate. He gave Summit a 2-0 lead in the third inning with an RBI with one of his three singles in the game. Then, after Canby tied the game at 2 in the fourth inning, Via drove in his second run of the game to give the Storm a 3-2 lead.

Junior Slater de Brun drew three walks and singled in his four plate appearances, all four times he got on base, he came around to score. Senior Finn Edwards drove in two runs and junior Preston Sexson drove in another for the Storm. The Storm will face No. 4 West Albany Tuesday with a spot in the state title game on the line.

No. 2 Thurston 11, No. 7 Mountain View 0: Thurston proved why it was the defending state champion in a 11-0, five-inning win over Mountain View Friday evening in Springfield.

The Colts finished with 13 hits — three for extra bases — while pitchers Grady Saunders and Collin Hernandez combined to allow just three hits to help Thurston win its 23rd straight game.

Mountain View freshman Ryder Carpenter, senior Connor Crum and senior Gavin Derr were the lone Cougars to collect hits in game. Thurston will host No. 3 Ridgeview Tuesday in the semifinals.

Class 3A quarterfinals

No. 5 Pleasant Hill 4, No. 5 Sisters 1: The Outlaws might have taken the Mountain Valley Conference title over Pleasant Hill, but it is the Billies moving on to semifinals with a 4-1 win at home Friday evening. Senior Brody Fischer scored Sisters’ (21-8) only run of the game off a Pleasant Hill error. The three Billies pitchers that took the mound — Hunter Allen, DJ Holman and Cody Rusche — combined to allow just two Outlaw hits while striking out 10.

No. 2 Banks 15, No. 7 La Pine 0: The Braves scored nine runs in the first inning, added five more in the second to stop the Hawks from advancing to the semifinals with a 15-0 win in five innings.

La Pine (17-10) managed just three hits against the Braves. Sophomore David Taylor, senior Chase Campbell and senior Gaedon Broxson all collected singles for the Hawks.
