Titans sweep Tigers

NAPAVINE — Pe Ell-Willapa Valley secured the Central 2B League title with 19-1 and 21-3 wins over Napavine on Wednesday.

The Titans (16-0) continued their undefeated campaign with an offensive showcase that featured five home runs over the two games.

In the first game, Sidney Pollard blasted a 3-run home run in the first inning to put the Titans in the lead for good. Abby Hodel crushed a grand slam in what would be a 10-run fourth inning to help PWV shut the door on the Tigers.

In the nightcap, Brittany Patrick connected on a 3-run home run to jump start the Titans, who would get home runs from Katelynn McGough and Dakota Brooks later in the game.

“It is a credit to the kids,” PWV head coach Ken Olson said of the league title. “We have just had a phenomenal year. The kids are just having fun. From day one, we made a commitment to make the game fun for them. All three phases of our game are on the money right now and we are just playing great softball.”

PWV is hitting over .500 as a team and has allowed just 12 runs all season.

PWV travels to Onalaska for a doubleheader Tuesday.

BASEBALL

Indians sweep Warriors

PUYALLUP — South Bend’s Drew Rose threw a five-inning no-hitter in the nightcap, his second of the season, to secure a Pacific 2B League doubleheader sweep of Chief Leschi on Tuesday night.

Rose struck out 14, walked five and wasn’t threatened in a 3-0 win that was called due to darkness following a three-hour first game.

In the opener, South Bend used two 10-run innings to outdistance Chief Leschi, 23-11.

Michael Oropeza had five hits, including a double, and three RBI in the opener for the Indians. Chase Flynn added three hits, including two doubles and three RBI, and Rose and Barret Houk added two hits, including a double and four RBI, each.

Flynn took over in relief of starter Luke King, who was hit with four runs in the second by the hosts, and picked up the win, striking out seven and walking five in 3 2/3 innings of work.

Rose didn’t give Chief Leschi much of a chance in the nightcap, leaving his defens with just one out to record for the no-hitter.

“Drew pitched a dominating performance,” South Bend head coach Jim Bleeker said. “(In the first game), situated around numerous walks and hit batters, we came through with some timely big hits to seal the deal. Oropeza and Flynn had a big night at the plate.”

On Saturday, South Bend (5-3, 5-3) travels to Life Christian Academy for a league doubleheader.

Aberdeen defeated Rochester 80-52 on the boys side, while falling just short 68-67 in the girls team competition of an Evergreen 2A Conference dual meet at Miller Junior High on Wednesday.

The Aberdeen boys were led by Braden Castleberry-Taylor and Jeshua Manwell, who each won two individual titles, as well as Jose Salas who won the 100 and ran the victorious anchor leg of the 4×400 relay. Castleberry-Taylor posted a distance of 130-7 to win the javelin and won the shot put with 41-2. Manwell leaped his way to titles in the long jump and triple jump.

Gordon Shaw, who teamed up with Salas, Eric Galeana and Derrell Shale to win the 4×400, won the 3,200 in 11:01.4.

Aberdeen swept the top three spots in the boys discus with Michael Ray, Reassa Yon and Skyler Murray going 1, 2, 3 respectively, each throwing a distance over 100 feet. Benton Butcher won the 300 hurdles, while Kai Kawashima won the 110 hurdles to round out the boys titles for the Bobcats.

Faith Cardenas made plenty of noise on the girls side of the meet working to help win four titles. The junior topped the field in the 100 and 200 as well as running legs of victorious relays in the 4×200 and 4×400.

Aberdeen swept all three of the girls relays with Lise Briscadieu, Emmy Walsh and Kennedy Pruett teaming up with Cardenas on the 4×200 and Melissa May, Madi Niemi and Pruett teaming up with Cardenas in the 4×400 to run a season best time. Briscadieu, Pruett, Walsh and Megan Auld ran the 4×100.

The Bobcats (1-2, 1-3) were able to enjoy a brief break in the weather to play a rare match at home, but the Tigers came out on top in all six matches.

“We haven’t had much of a season, so at this point we are just doing our best to prep for subdistricts,” Aberdeen head coach Ashley Kohlmeier said. “The girls are jumping to the occasion and doing everything they can. Today, it was just really nice to play some tennis. We needed it.”

Kohlmeier cited Kylie Knodel for her hard work over the past week.
