Baker boys, missing top two singles players, fall 5-0
The Baker High School girls tennis team defeated the La Grande squad
4-1 in varsity action Saturday at La Grande while the Baker boys team,
competing without its No. 1 and No. 2 boys singles players lost 5-0.
Coach George Keister said Baker’s No. 1 singles player, Dan Sizer,
was out with a case of mononucleosis. The No. 2 singles player, Jordan
Curtis, also was out because of illness. Keister said he hopes to have
Curtis back early this week and Sizer is expected back in time to play
at the district tournament Thursday at Vale.
Although the weather isn't expected to cooperate early in the week,
Keister said he hopes the teams will be able to get in some practice in
preparation for the district tournament. The top four singles teams and
the top four doubles teams will advance to the state competition at
Eugene.

Baker High School tennis teams have had a busy week of nonleague
matches as they competed in three meets in just four days, with one
more to come on Saturday.
Monday the team was in Weiser, Idaho, and picked up a team win for the girls, and a mixed-doubles match.
Tuesday the Bulldogs were back in Baker City to play a makeup match
with Nyssa. Thursday they met the Burns squad on their home court.
Baker played Nyssa and Burns with reduced squads on each day because of
the small size of their teams, splitting most of the team between the
two matches. Baker’s girls doubles and boys swept their matches against
Nyssa, while in Thursday afternoon’s match against Burns, the team won
every game and every match played.
The next test for the team will be Saturday at noon as they travel to La Grande.

Shepherd, the Bulldogs’ number nine hitter in the lineup, didn’t fail. The little left-handed hitting outfielder lined a two-out, 3-2 pitch to right-center field to drive home Tori Brown with the winning run and complete a Greater Oregon League softball sweep of Mac-Hi.
