Publisher Note: Hunter Gates, who played left field, finished the game with a base hit in his only at bat. The game ended in the eighth inning (scheduled 9 innings) due to weather with the game tied at 4-4.
Guthrie senior Hunter Gates will be among elite company Thursday evening when his North all-star squares up against the South all-stars from the Oklahoma City area.
Hunter Gates was 4-2 on the mound and added 32 strike-outs.
Gates and the senior all-stars were selected by the Oklahoma City Area Baseball Coaches Association and will play at 6:00 on Palmer Field inside Dolese Park.
The North will be loaded with Deer Creek’s Michael Fulmer and Brian Anderson, Edmond Santa Fe’s Connor Costello and Clayton Blackburn, and Putnam City North’s Jace James just to name a few.
Gates, who was the lone BlueJay senior, finished his senior campaign with a 4-2 record on the mound and a respectable 5.65 ERA in nearly 40 innings of work.
