The Yakima Valley baseball team will have one chance to get things right on Thursday when it faces Clark in the NWAC Super Regional in Roseburg, Ore. YVC, the NWAC East's No. 4 seed, will take on the No. 3 seed from the West Division in a single-elimination game at 1 p.m. The winner will take on the South's No. 2 seed Umpqua in the next round, which is a best two out of three series. The winners of the four Super Regionals will advance to the NWAC Championships against the four top seeds.

The Yaks (24-24 overall) dropped three of four games last week against first-place Spokane to finish the conference season at 15-13. After losing both home games to the Sasquatch on Wednesday, YVC lost game one of Saturday's doubleheader before winning game two.

In the regular-season finale, the Yaks put up 12 hits to hand Spokane just its seventh league loss by a score of 6-4. Jackson Walker went 3-for-5, Jay O'Neill finished 3-for-3 with two RBI and Gage Reeser hit a solo home run to lead the offense. The Yaks scored two runs in the second and three in the fourth to take a 5-0 lead and added an insurance run in the seventh on Reeser's round-tripper.

Starter Roanan Cason struck out five and allowed two earned runs and eight hits over five innings before giving way to Barrett Froehler, who gave up two earned runs and three hits. Marcus Olson pitched a near-perfect final two innings, surrendering no hits and a walk while striking out two. The game-one defeat saw the Yaks produce five singles as Austin Dillon and Oliver Wilday split the pitching duties. Wilday was solid in his four innings, giving up just two hits and no walks, while Dillon allowed two earned runs and six hits, striking out five.

Last Wednesday's home doubleheader could have gone either way as the Yaks lost game one 4-2 in 11 innings and game two by the same score. In the opener, YVC scored two runs in the third to tie things up at 2-2, but a late rally by the Sasquatch spelled defeat. Garren Gooler went 3-for-5, Reeser was 2-for-5 and Jackson Upton was 2-for-4 as the Yaks put up 12 hits. Walker had a solid outing, allowing two earned runs and 11 hits over nine innings while striking out five. Relievers Gus Musial and Marcus Olson closed out the game, giving up just one earned run between them.

The Yaks fell behind 3-0 in game two before scoring two in the bottom of the eighth on an error and a sac fly by Trayson Kostial. But Spokane put up an insurance run in the top of the ninth and escaped with another two-run victory. The Yaks tallied just three singles in support of starter Diego Carrillo, who didn't allow an earned run over seven innings of work. Froehler pitched a scoreless eighth and Tyler Bono allowed a hit, a run and two walks in the ninth.
