North Beach rallied in the second half to down Raymond 56-52 on Monday at Raymond High School.
Marcus Pope and Reagan Harnagy each scored 11 points as the Hyaks (7-9, 6-8 Pacific 2B) earned their third win in the past four games.
North Beach trailed 33-28 at the half but took the lead in the third quarter and held on for the 2B Pacific League victory.
Cole Enslow, Brian Sida and Tre Seydel led Raymond (5-11, 5-9 Pacific 2B) with 14, 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Seagulls head coach Derek Rask said a lack of offensive consistency cost his team a home win.
“We played a solid first half on both ends of the floor. We controlled the pace, and we were hitting open shots.” he said. “In the second half we went cold offensively and they stayed consistent. … They simply made shots down the stretch and we didn’t.”
Raymond got to the free-throw line 19 times, but only converted eight freebies while North Beach finished 4-of-5 from the charity stripe.
Raymond faces one of the league’s top teams in Life Christian Academy at 7 p.m. on Thursday in Tacoma.
