Thursday scoreboard: Mets spins a gem
Sadly, this is going to be a more incomplete list than usual because I’m unable to find quite a few soccer scores from tonight. If you are a coach or have a score to report, please email me at olysportsblog@gmail.com. Anyway, here it goes…
Boys soccer
Capital 3, Lincoln 1
North Thurston 2, W.F. West 1 – OT
Foss @ Timberline – no report
Aberdeen @ Black Hills – no report
Centralia @ River Ridge – no report
Matteo Nartempi scored his third goal in his last two games to put Capital up 2-0 at the 22 minute mark and it was enough for the Cougars to knock off the Abes, 3-1. Ling Hnair had North Thurston’s lone goal in regulation before Nick Salazar ended it with an overtime goal to give the Rams the 2-1 victory over W.F. West. Capital and North Thurston face each other in a non-league game at South Sound Stadium on Friday night.

Ryan Mets pitched a gem for North Thurston going seven shutout innings giving up just three hits, striking out 11 and walking just two batters in the Rams 4-0 win over Tumwater.

High school baseball

Today (3/20): play ball?
One day after the first passable day of the spring, the weather is once again wreaking havoc with the schedule. Today and Wednesday’s scheduled doubleheaders between Saint Martin’s and Northwest Nazarene’s softball teams have already been cancelled and I’d describe these high school baseball and fastpitch games as questionable to doubtful…

Nick Salazar’s breakaway goal in the 33rd minute was enough for North Thurston as Taylor Kirkland saved eight shots and posted his first shutout of the season in their 1-0 victory over Yelm.
Today (3/19): Play ball!
Looks like we should finally have decent weather for today’s slate of high school baseball games. Accuweather is predicting showers around noon but hopefully the tarps are on the fields and it won’t be enough to wipe any of these games out…
Mark Morris @ Tumwater – 4:00 PM
Timberline @ Olympia – 4:00 PM
Ocosta @ Northwest Christian – 4:00 PM
Shelton @ Capital – 4:00 PM
There is also one fastpitch game scheduled to be played in town today when Capital hosts Olympia at 4:00 PM.
And two boys soccer games round out today’s sports schedule. South Kitsap visits Olympia in a 4A Narrows League matchup. Game time is at 7:00 PM. And Yelm visits North Thurston in a non-league match at 7:00 PM at South Sound Stadium.
