Four Owls Named Cascade Conference Players of the Week

La Grande, Ore. – Four Oregon Tech Athletes, Chase Wago (Baseball Pitcher), Kelly Scott (Softball Pitcher), Dre Sotelo (Softball Player) and Seth Gretz (Indoor Track) received Cascade Conference Player of the Week honors for their efforts this past week the Conference office announced today. 

Wago, a freshman from Ewa Beach, Hawaii, improved to 4-1 on the year with his gutsy effort over C of I.  Wago pitched the first 10 innings, allowing just one-earned run with six strikeouts and no walks as Oregon tech took three of four games from College of Idaho over the weekend. 

Scott, a senior from Klamath Falls, Ore., improved to 7-2 on the year with two great complete game victories, leading the Owls to a 3-1 weekend over Eastern Oregon University. Scott lowered her season ERA to just 1.23.

Sotelo, a junior right fielder from Centro, Calif., introduced herself to the Cascade Conference with a 7-for-11 effort at the plate, including five-RBI, two-doubles, and big two-run homer helping the Owls pass Eastern Oregon this past weekend. 

Gretz, a senior from Rogue River, Ore., finished 3rd overall in the school record score of 5057 points, including a 1st place finish in the Pole Vault of 4.80 m (15' 9.57"). He also hit a lifetime best in the High Jump at 1.93 m (6' 4") while also breaking the school record. Adding to the list, he hit a PR in the shot put by 10" with his throw of 10.49 m (34" 3'). On the third day of competition, he finished 12th, his highest ever finish in the open Pole Vault.
