Tyee 0  Sedro-Wooley 0 (Tyee wins shootout 3-1)

Sedro-Wooley couldn’t have asked for a better scenario.  They hadn’t given up a goal in the previous two state tournament games, and they held Tyee scoreless at the 80 minute mark of this game.

But they hadn’t scored either, and overtime was a game changer.

Tyee went into overtime and thought they had punched in the game winning goal 1:30 into the first OT period, but as the fans celebrated, the Sedro-Wooley players applauded, as the offsides flag had been raised but no one seemed to notice it.  Tyee then dominated play in the second OT, with Sedro-Wooley seemingly shaken by that single moment and playing for the shootout.

A substitute goal keeper in OT by Tyee added intrigue to the penalty kick shootout, and it seemed to be the right move, as he blocked 3 of the 4 shots Sedro-Wooley took.  Meanwhile, while Tyee scored 3 of the 4 shots they took and won the game 3-1 in the shootout.  Tyee moves to the Championship Final, while Sedro-Wooley moves to the 3/4 place game on Saturday.  Sedro-Wooley plays in this 3/4 game, while not having allowed a goal against them in the 3 state tournament games.

Ridgefield 0  Cheney 3

Much like Sedro-Wooley, Cheney has excelled this year in not allowing goals to their opponents.  A total of 8 goals have been given up to teams against the Cheney defense.  So Ridgefield knew they had a challenge ahead of them offensively.

The game went scoreless until the 30:22 mark in the first half when Ian Scimandle made a move around 2 Ridgefield defenders and placed one in the upper corner to give Cheney the 1-0 lead over the Spudders as they went to the half.

It took Cheney 40 seconds in the second half to put their second goal in the net.  A long distance shot from Micah Weller from 35 yards out found its way between the cross bar and goalie Dalton Reis’ outstretched fingers extending the lead to 2-0.  Trevan Estrellado added the third goal to the board at the 55:34 mark on an assist from Ian Shirey from the left side.

2A games on Saturday will be webcast on Eli Sports.

Call it a true test of a golfers ability.

It’s easy for a golfer (minus most of us recreational golfers) to play well on a sunny, clear day.

Which is not how you would have described either of the two rounds in the state 2A boys golf tournament at Chambers Bay.

Day 1 brought us moments of sun, and a brief shower or two.  But was highlighted by a steady 20-30mph wind though the day.  Despite the conditions, on top of the leaderboard at the end of the day were the only two golfers who carded below par.  Brady Calkins of WF West (70) and Aaron Whalen of Ephrata (71)

Day 2 featured relief from the steady winds, but threw the added curve of a steady rainfall into the proceedings.  A few adjustments to the course (including a hole placement on the 18th green that could be described as brutal if you played it wrong) sought to make the day more of an adventure.  Yet at the end of the day, the best of the best battled it out all the way to the back 9.

Calkins and Whalen were in the last foursome to tee off at 9:30AM.  41 golfers began the day having survived the cut.  The front 9 continued to be a classic battle for the leaders. At the turn, Calkins scored a 38, while Whalen had a 37, tying things up on the leaderboard out as they headed into the back 9.

It was the final 9 holes that made a difference.  Calkins shot a more then respectable 37, however Whalen put it into another gear, and walked off the 18th green shooting a 32 on the back 9. Whalen tallied up a 69 on his scorecard, the best round of the tournament, and the only player to have a score better then Calkins’ 70 in round 1.

Hockinson took the team title, having placed 4 golfers into the second day of play, and all four golfers finishing 18th or better overall.  (Nick Huff 6th, Diego Delatorre 7th, Jared Gomez 13th, Casey Turner 18th)

Brady Calkins leads the 2A Boys Tournament with a 70.

10 Golf Tournaments teed off this morning for both boys and girls. Eli Sports is covering the 2A Boys tournament live from Chambers Bay Golf Club. The 80 boys that teed off all did amazingly well with only 6 golfer hitting triple digits and 15 others in the 90′s with one golfer who had to withdraw due to an injury. That left 58 golfers who finished in the 80′s or better. The cut was at 86 and 41 golfers advanced to tomorrow’s 2nd round. The top 40 and ties advance to the 2nd day.

The cut had been at 87 until the final 3 4-somes reported their scores and there were enough under 86 to drop it one shot. Just that one shot left 7 golfers on the outside looking in with 87′s. Leading the pack from the 1st 4-some to tee off is W F West’s Brady Calkins with a 70. Calkins along with the rest of the golfers battled steady winds of 20mph+ with higher gusts. There was very little rain, but the wind was something they had to contend with the entire day.

Calkins at one point had gone 4 under, but two bogeys on the back 9 including 18 added two to his total at -2. Right behind Calkins is Aaron Whalen of Ephrata who fired a 71. Calkins and Whalen were the only two under par. No one finished at even par 72 but there were 9 others who finished in the 70′s. The final 4-some set to tee off at 9:30am are Calkins and Whalen along with Joe Baldeck of Clarkston and Andrew Raab of East Valley of Yakima.

Here is a quick re-cap of all the tournaments featuring their leaders. Here is the link to the WIAA tee times and results.

The final week of High School Sports get started Tuesday morning on the tee blocks. Each Tournament will feature

Huge greens at Chambers Bay most with several levels will challenge the 2A State Finalists.

unbelievable talent at great courses all over the state but most interesting will be the 2A boys golf tournament. Why? Mostly because of its location at Chambers Bay Golf Course. Chambers Bay will be host to the 2015 U S Open. In fact right on the front page of the Chambers Bay web site is a count down clock and at the time of this writing it read 758 days, 8 hours, 6 minutes and 15 seconds until tee of of the U S Open.

The 2A boys no matter how they finish will also have that lasting memory of knowing they played the same course just 2 years earlier. In the meantime, the 4-somes at Chambers Bay will hit the links at 7:30 am and the first group off have the top contenders for this year’s individual title. Two of those golfers come from District 4, Hockinson’s Nick Huff and W F West’s Brady Calkins. The other two joining them in the opening foursome will be Michael Baldeck from Clarkston and Matt Marrese of Sammamish.

Tumwater 4, Fife 1

Garrett Terrell went the distance to beat Fife.

Tumwater 3, North Kitsap 1

(Yelm, WA) The Tumwater T-Birds rolled into the Yelm 2A Baseball Regional with not much history of success in the post season. The T-Birds have only been to the State Tournament 5 times in school history. In 1974 they lost to Centralia in the first round 1-0, 1983 again Centralia beat the T-Birds 14-5. 1990 would bring their lone State Tournament win with a 3-1 victory over Hazen but then they would lose 1-0 to Mt. Vernon. Then in 2004 and 2007 two more 1st round exits with a 9-0 loss to Selah and 12-6 defeat to Ellensburg. 2013 would be different. With little pressure of living up to past successes this T-Bird squad is set to be the team to emulate.

The T-Birds game plan this year, especially in the 2nd half of the season combined solid pitching, great defense, timely hitting and good decisions. All of those elements came together in Yelm on Saturday afternoon. The T-Birds began the season 6-6 and during this time the up and down Birds looked like another year of qualifying for the District and that would be about it. They were a bit sloppy with issues on base, getting picked off and running themselves out of innings and making poor decisions in the field like missing their cut off allowing the other teams to extend their innings.

ESN talked with Head Coach Jamie Weeks who said they just kept working on those fundamentals trying to pound good, solid basics into the teams psyche. It finally clicked and the T-Birds rolled off 6 straight wins to finish the season 12-6 and grabbing the #2 seed into districts.

Once into post season the T-Birds kept on cruising with a 4-1 win over Hockinson the #3 seed from the GSHL and then beating Mark Morris 12-4. In that game the T-Birds showed they could come back on a team as they trailed 4-0 heading into the bottom of the 6th inning when they erupted 12 runs on 17 hits sending them to the Regional Tournament and District Championship game. Tumwater would fall short in the District Title game against W F West losing 5-1. Now with the two wins at the Regional Tournament the T-Birds are a blistering 10-1 in their last 11 games.

In the first loser out contest, Tumwater a #2 seed from District 4 would face a #1 seed in Fife who came with loads of credentials and were the experts choice to come out of the Yelm Regional.The T-Birds weren’t buying and although pitcher Garrett Terrell would not have his best outing of the year, he was solid and went the distance to get the win.

Justin Graham about to single for the Birds.

Tumwater would strike first in the first inning with lead off hitter Justin Graham singling then moving to 2nd on a ground out by Anthony Correia. Terrell would get on when he grounded to short and Derek Stephen chose to try and get Graham at 3rd and both were safe. Luke Hare would then single to knock in Graham while Terrell went to 3rd. In a rare misstep, Hare then tried to steal 2nd or drawing the throw and then got caught up in a run-down hoping Terrell could score from 3rd. Hare got tagged before Terrell could score to end the inning but Tumwater had a 1-0 lead.

The Trojans would come right back in the half of the 1st. Hayden Fagundes would walk to lead off, one of 5 walks in the game for Terrell. Stephen would then line one right down the 1st base line into right field scoring Fagundes to tie the score at 1. Fife starting pitcher Brock Carpenter would then walk to put runners on 1st and 2nd with no out. Terrell would buckle down and get the next two batters to fly out and then a ground out to get out of the inning allowing the 1 run. Little did they know then but for the next 13 innings the T-Bird pitching and defense would give no more.

In the 3rd inning, the T-Birds would get all the offense they would need when Tyler Oberg reached 1st on an error on the 3rd baseman Andrew Waltner. Graham would walk followed by a grounder from Correia which would get Graham on the force at 2nd but left runners on the corners with 1 out. Terrell helped his own cause with an RBI single which moved Correia to 3rd and then Clayton Boze knocked in Correia with an RBI sacrifice fly to center. Luke Hare then pulled one right at the 3rd baseman Waltner who again erred scoring Terrell for the 3rd run of the inning giving Tumwater a 4-1 lead.

Terrell backed by stellar defensive play would then roll over the Trojans facing the minimum 3 batters in the 3rd, 4th and 6th innings and only 4 batters in the 5th and 7th. Tumwater surprised the Fife with the 4-1 win and then had to face North Kitsap who beat Sedro Woolley in the first game of the day 4-3.

On to Yakima…

The format of the Regional play-offs is simple, 4 teams begin and 1 advances to the final four, you must win 2 games so the season was on the line for both North Kitsap and Tumwater. Talking with some if the Vikings fans prior to the Tumwater game you got the feeling they were relieved to get the T-Birds as they had already lost to Fife in their District Tournament. There was a confidence from the North Kitsap crowd and belief that the Tumwater win over the Trojans was a bit of a fluke.

They would learn quickly they would be in the fight of the season as Tumwater’s pitching and defense again would bend a

Elijah Hill also went 7 innings to win against North Kitsap sending the T-Birds to Yakima.

little but never break. Sophomore Elijah Hill would get the start for Tumwater and Hill would again not only keep his team in the game, but shut out the Vikings frustrating them time and again. Hill would only get 1 strike-out but coaxed the Vikings into grounders and easy fly balls.

Hill would get all the offense he would need in the 3rd inning when Riley Owen led off with an infield base hit. Owen hit an infield grounder and as he approached 1st base dove for the bag and beat the throw. Oberg then reached base on an error and with 2 on and no one out Graham hit an RBI single. That would be followed by Garrett Terrell Sacrifice fly to knock in a 2nd run and Tumwater held a 2-0 lead. The T-Birds would add another run in the top of the 7th when Graham would knock in Colton Turner giving Tumwater a 3-0 lead.

It wasn’t like the Vikings didn’t have their chances. All season, Hill has had a penchant for getting out of tough situations relying on his teammates to make plays. One of those key plays came in the 5th inning when North Kitsap’s Will Ekin led off with a base hit. Apparently trying to catch the T-Birds by surprise Ekin took off for 2nd on the 1st pitch to the next batter Andrew Hecker and catcher Ian Sugrue gunned him down. Hill then struck out Hecker, again the only K in the game for either side and then got Kyler Gracey to ground out to get out of the inning.

The 6th inning appeared to be the best chance to finally get to Hill when he walked Matt Fisher and AJ Milyard to put runners on 1st and 2nd. Coach Weeks told ESN at that time he was about to pull Hill but decided to give him another batter and Hill then got pinch hitter Max Teising to ground out, Ben Tamm flew out and Adam Lemmon grounded out to end the inning.

Tumwater advances to the Final Four at County Stadium in Yakima next Friday where they will play at 4pm. They do not know who they will play yet as the Bellinghan Region was rained out and they will play either on Sunday or Monday. The four teams competing in that region are Lynden, Lindbergh, White River and Archbishop Murphy.

Chehalis Region

In the Chehalis Region, 2 Evergreen 2A teams had a chance to advance to Yakima and in fact both teams ended up winners in the first round and faced each other for the 4th time this season. Centralia surprised Sumner 7-4 while W F West beat Olympic 4-2 in the opening games setting up another Twin City Rivalry with the season on the line. The winner to Yakima the loser had their season come to an end. The Tigers gave the Bearcats all they wanted but Chehalis proved to be too tough and knocked off Centralia for the 4th time this season ending the Tigers season. The final score was 7-4.

W F West now faces Clarkston on Friday night at 7pm. Clarkston advanced to the Final Four with a win over West Valley of Yakima in the Yakima Regional 2-1 and then they knocked off the other West Valley team from Spokane 9-6.

W F West 8, Aberdeen 7

(Centralia, WA) The District 4 2A Fastpitch Tournament wrapped up on Friday at Centralia’s Fort Borst Park and the Evergreen 2A’s #1 seed walked away with the big trophy. However, the W F West Bearcats had to work to claim their prize as the Evco’s 4th seed, Aberdeen who qualified for State and the District Championship game pressed the Cats to the end.

W F West jumped on starting pitcher Mo Donovan scoring 4 runs in the bottom of the first inning, chasing Donovan in the process. The Bearcats strung several hits together and Donovan just couldn’t get out of the inning. 4 Bearcats had RBI’s in the 1st so there was no big hit that cleaned the bases. The Bobcats brought in Grace Utto-Gararneau in relief and she immediately shut down Chehalis.

Utto-Galarneau would continue her mastery of the Bearcats but was not getting any offensive support and the score remained in a rather quick moving game until the top of the 5th. Aberdeen broke through when Shannon Chesterman singled home 2 runs to cut the score to 4-2.

Chehalis answered with 2 more of their own in the bottom half of the 5th on a Marissa Reynolds home run to give back the Bearcats 4 run lead.

Aberdeen then exploded for 5 runs in the top of the 6th, fueled by a 3-run shot from Stephanie Boone. However, even though Aberdeen took a 7-6 lead they left the bases full and a feeling they just might not have scored enough to seal the win.

Chehalis got right to work in the bottom of the 7th and with only 3 outs to work with, they would need none. Reynolds would lead off with a home run to tie the game, Caitlyn Reynolds then punched one into the gap and slid safely into 3rd putting the winning run on the corner with no outs. The Bobcats then decided to load the bases with 2 walks creating the force at home when Tessa Wollan stepped into the box. Wollan had 2 home runs against Centralia the night before but in this case she just needed a fly to the outfield to score the winning run. Wollan connected on a shot to right field and over the head of the pulled outfielders for the game winner.

The Bearcats defended their District Title and now head to Selah with the goal of defending their Station Championship. Aberdeen has also earned a trip to State as the #2 seed. The State Tournament begins next Friday.

R A Long 15, Centralia 8

The R A Long Lumberjills lost a few balls in their winner to state/loser out contest against Centralia. The Lumberjills launched 7 balls over the fence and their offensive outburst was more than the Tigers could keep up with and now are rewarded with a trip to the State Tournament in Selah.

The Jills didn’t waste anytime getting to starting pitcher Erika Brower hitting 2 2-run shots and picking up another run for an early 5-0 lead. Madison Cathcart set off the home run barrage followed by Chelsea Zimmerman. In the 2nd inning, Jenny Hagan led off with a dinger and then hit her 2nd home run in the 3rd a 2-run bomb. In the 4th it was Miranda Cunningham’s turn with a 2-run shot, onto the 5th where Addie Bailey parked another 2-run shot and Zimmerman hit her 2nd of the game in the 6th. The only reason we can see why the Jills did not go deep in the 7th is because they were the home team and did not need to take their turn at the plate. Meantime, the Tigers rolled through 3 pitchers Brower, MacKenzie Wasson, Leticia Ramirez and then Brower for a 2nd time.

The Tigers offense tried to keep up and had two home runs of their own from Brower and Sy Braaten but it was not enough and Centalia had their season come to an end. The Tigers advanced to this game with R A Long after knocking out Tumwater in an earlier loser out game 10-3. So the Tigers for the day plated 18 runs, it just wasn’t enough against the express train called the Lumberjills in the final contest.

R A Long advanced to this game yesterday by ending the Capital Cougars season with a 7-0 win. Below is the link to the District bracket along with links to other stories covering the tournament.

(Centralia, WA) Day 1 of the 2A Fastpitch Tournament featured a couple of surprises and some expected results. It is no surprise the W F West Bearcats earned a trip to State and will play for the District Title this evening at 6pm. But it may surprise some to know that its the Aberdeen Bobcats they will face. There is no surprise that the Evco’s #2 and #3 seeds, Tumwater and Centralia are still alive to fight for the final berth to State, but you may be somewhat stunned that the GSHL #1 and 2 seeds are out of the tournament while the Capital Cougars who only won 4 league games this year is still alive along with the GSHL 3rd seed R A Long. In fact the Lumberjills were 2 outs away from advancing to State and the District Championship game and led Aberdeen 3-2 going into the bottom of the 7th. The Bobcats would scramble for 2 runs and pull out the win.

Here is today’s schedule followed by the results from yesterday:

Today’s Consolation Bracket: (4 teams are alive but only 1 will advance to state, the other 3 will have their seasons come to an end.)

Yesteday’s games and results:

1st Round

R A Long 6, Tumwater 3

In this game Lumberjills pitcher Tori Almos locked down on the T-Birds after giving up those runs early in the game. The T-Birds just could not get any offense going and ended up short in a bit of an upset.

Aberdeen 3, Ridgefield 1

The Spudders came in as the #1 seed from the GSHL but found a feisty Bobcat squad who matched the Spudders frame for frame. Aberdeen took the lead 1-0 but Ridgefield came back to tie it and the two would stalemate until the top of the 7th. Aberdeen knocked in 2 runs and then held Ridgefield to pull off the upset as the #4 seed knocked off a #1.

Centralia 20, Mark Morris 5

The Monarchs ran into a steam roller as the Tiger bats exploded and McKenzie Wasson was solid on the mound. Centralia jumped out to a 7-2 lead after 2 extended it 12-2 but Morris fought back with 3 more to make it 12-5. In the last two innings Centralia added 8 more runs and the game was over in 6 innings due to the 10-run rule.

W F West 14, Capital 1

The Cougars came out strong defensively in the first 2 innings only giving up 2 runs. The Bearcats then found their groove and pulled away in the 3rd and 4th innings. In the top of 5, the Cougs scored their lone run in the top of the 4th but they needed 5 to continue the game because of the 10-run mercy rule.

2nd Round Winner’s Bracket

W F West 7, Centralia 1

The Bearcats never put together a huge inning but continually were in position to score and put up a 2 spot in the 3rd, 4th and 5th innings and added another in the 7th. In this game Tessa Wollan smacked not 1 but 2 over the fence for home runs including a solo shot in the 7th. Bearcat pitcher Mattie Boucher also kept the Tigers in check from the circle along with a strong defense to push the Cats back to the State Tournament and to today’s District Championship game.

Aberdeen 4, R A Long 3

The Bobcats led 2-1 but saw the Lumberjills take a 3-2 lead in the top of the 6th inning when Addie Bailey took one deep with a runner on. They held that lead into the bottom of the 7th when Aberdeen made their comeback on a base hit from Kiana Dixon, a triple from Mo Donovan would tie the game and then a bloop single with 2 out from Stephanie Boone. That bloop single was in the infield as the ball landed in between the pitcher, short stop and 3rd baseman and Boone was able to get to 1st before the Jills could make a play to end the game.

2nd Round Consolation Bracket

Tumwater 5, Ridgefield 3

The T-Birds jumped on the Spudders and led 4-0 going into the 3rd inning. Ridgefield came right back with 3 of their own and pulled within 1 run. The two teams would then exchange several scoring opportunities but came up short each time until a final run from Tumwater to come to the final score. With the win, Tumwater stays alive but Ridgefield had their season come to an end.

Capital 3, Mark Morris 2

The Cougars and Monarchs were all even until the 7th inning. The Cougs lone run was on a solo home run from Rachel Erickson. The Cougs added two runs in the top of 7 on a 2 RBI single from Taylor Kerr. The Monarchs tried to come back but could only get a solo shot from Amber Gilbert, her second home run on the day. The Monarchs season came to an end and Capital will now face R A Long at 4 in a loser out contest.
