PORTLAND – The La Grande 9-and 10-year-old Little League baseball team finished third in the state Saturday with a victory in the state consolation game. La Grande fell to North Bend Friday 11-0, which kept La Grande out of Saturday’s state championship game. “North Bend hit the ball well,” La Grande manager Kraig Jacobs said. “We just couldn’t get a hit. Elias (Siltanen) did well on the mound for us. We didn’t make the plays.” La Grande met Murrayhill Saturday and avenged its opening game loss with a 9-2 rout to claim third-place.Little League powerhouse Murrayhill was held to two hits and La Grande had 11 hits. “Third place in the state is not bad,” Jacobs said. “It was nice revenge to beat them. Jake Workinger was a master of deception on the mound for us. He had eight strikeouts in four and two thirds inning. “We were strong at the plate and everyone did their job. Our bats heated up the second time each one of our guys saw their pitcher.” Ryan Adams went three for four with a home run and a double. He had five RBI for La Grande.
