Montesano had a long league winning streak snapped with a pair of losses to Tenino on Tuesday in Tenino.

Montesano is now faced with a must-win game if the Bulldogs are to repeat as league champions after being swept in a doubleheader by scores of 9-8 and 5-4.

Monte (14-5, 9-2 1A Evergreen) scored three runs on singles by Denali Harris and Christian Olsen sandwiched around John Kling getting hit by a pitch with the sacks full to tie the game at 8-8 heading into the final inning and a half.

But Tenino’s Mickey Vasser stepped to the plate with two outs and took Monte reliever Cam Taylor’s 2-2 pitch over the left-field fence for a game-winning, walk-off home run.

The loss was the first in league for Montesano since 2016.

In the nightcap, a Montesano rally fell short in a 5-4 loss.

Montesano got off to a good start when Bode Poler led off the game with a home run.

The Bulldogs trailed 5-1 at the end of five innings, but rallied to score two in the sixth on a two-run home run by Isaac Pierce.

Down 5-3 in the seventh, Montesano loaded the bases and got a run closer on a sacrifice fly by Isaiah Pierce.

Isaac Pierce stepped to the plate with the tying run at third base and go-ahead run on first, but Pierce grounded back to Tenino reliever Easton Snider, ending the game as Montesano suffered a rare doubleheader loss to a league opponent.

More importantly, the Tenino sweep puts the Beavers (13-6, 8-3) just one game behind the Bulldogs for first place in the league.

The two teams are scheduled to meet in a winner-take-all league championship game set for 4 p.m. Thursday at Vessey Field in Montesano.
