Behind a complete game four hitter from Elijah Hill, Tumwater cruised to an 8-1 win over Centralia in the 2A regional final at WF West High School in Chehalis.

The T-Birds jumped out to a 3-0 lead after one inning and never looked back en route to punching their ticket to the state semifinals in Yakima for the second straight year. Clayton Boze drove in two runs in the first inning for the T-Birds, who had only four hits in the game but were helped by six Tigers errors.

Tumwater moved to 22-4 overall and will face Lake Washington at 1:00 PM on Friday at Yakima County Stadium.

Matt Mercer was fantastic for Timberline but Bainbridge’s Brett Green was just a little bit better on the mound and at the plate. Green gave up just one run on five hits over six innings and drove in a pair of runs in Bainbridge’s 2-1 win in the 3A state regionals at Wheeler Field in Centralia. Mercer went six innings allowing just four hits while striking out seven batters. The Blazers finished the season at 23-3.
