WINNERS – The Mound Time 13-year-old all-stars were all smiles after winning the Babe Ruth state championship at Hood River last week.

ADVERTISEMENTS

HOOD RIVER — To say the least, the Mound Time 13-year-old Babe Ruth baseball all-star team got its money’s worth at state.

Mound Time, after finishing just third in its district tournament — placing behind both Tualatin Hills and the Salem Steelheads — finished first at state, beating the Steelheads 5-4 in eight innings in the championship game on Saturday at Trainer Field.

They joined the Mound Time 14-year-old team as state champions.

“The kids were pretty happy. All that hard work paid off,” said Mound Time manager JJ Berg. The championship is “a real testament to the kids and the work they put in.”

Besides what had gone on at the district level, there were challenges for Mound Time at state too. The team went 3-1 in pool play — losing again to the Steelheads — and finished second in the National Division.

The team beat Snake River Valley 11-3, lost to the Steelheads 12-6, then beat The Dalles 16-5 in pool play action.

That set up a Friday afternoon quarterfinal contest against Hood River, the third seed from the American Division, but Mound Time stepped up, broke through to win 13-7 and earned a spot in the semifinals.

Mound Time got it done again there, taking out Snake River — which upset American Division winner Tualatin Hills in its quarterfinal — 6-2 on Saturday morning.

That set up yet another battle with Salem, but this time, it was Mound Time’s time.
