Puget Sound Collegiate League baseball
Lacey Saints 6, Nisqually Silvers 3
Olympia Athletics 3, West Olympia Linx 2
Hawks Prairie Cardinals 6, Tumwater Brewers 4
The Nisqually Silvers took a three run lead in the third inning but gave up six unanswered runs and dropped the game 6-3 to the Lacey Saints. After a Brandon Evans (Colorado State-Pueblo) single drove in two runs and Chase Lacomb (Colorado State-Pueblo) drove in another in the third for the Silvers, the Saints quickly tied the game in the top of the fourth after a bases loaded walk by Colby Fitzgerald (Centralia College) and a two run error on a ball hit by Jesus Acosta (Centralia College).
The Saints took the lead for good when Kyle Pegram (Pierce College) scored on a Tyler Zwosta (Centralia College) fielder’s choice in the sixth inning. Alexander Lee (Skagit Valley CC) and Pegram each drove in a run in the eighth inning when the Saints tacked on a pair for good measure.
Colin Nilson (PLU) went seven innings for the Saints giving up just the three runs in the third inning to pick up the win. Chase Wasson (Centralia College, Timberline HS) pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up the save.
—————————————————
Following a walk, Brian Clayton (Green River CC) scored the winning run in extra innings for the Olympia Athletics from first base on an error filled play giving the A’s the 3-2 win that snapped the West Olympia Linx’s seven game winning streak.
The Linx opened the scoring in the fourth inning on a Kyle Leady (Lower Columbia) double that scored Jordan Johansen (Corban College). The A’s Kyle Thomson (Yakima Valley CC) led off the sixth inning for the with a triple and was driven in two batters later on a sacrifice fly by Brett Gray (Central Washington) to tie the score at one. Thomson scored the go ahead run in the eighth but the A’s were unable to close the game and Mac Gridley (Lower Columbia) scored the tying run in the top of the ninth for the Linx before the A’s finally pushed across the winning run in the 10th.
The Linx’s Dan Eck (Yakima Valley CC) and the A’s Roderick Fields (Green River CC) each gave up just one run over six and seven innings respectively but neither figured in the decision. Despite blowing the save, Ryan Smith (Chemeketa CC, Black Hills HS) got the win for the A’s.
—————————————————
Chandler Tracy (Saint Martin’s) went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored and Daniel Flahie (Grays Harbor CC) went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in the Hawks Prairie Cardinal’s 6-3 win over the Tumwater Brewers.
Both teams scored runs in the first inning and were deadlocked going into the sixth inning. But in the sixth, the Cardinals broke the game open behind Flahie’s two run double that scored Conor Cook and Kohei Yamaguchi (Riseisha-Osaka). Flahie scored two batters later on an Adam Yunker (Seattle U) single to give the Cards a 4-1 lead. The Brewers committed four errors in the game and it cost them when Jacob Oster (Chemeketa CC) scored what proved to be the winning run in the seventh inning for the Cardinals.
Sam Shadle (Graham-Kapowsin HS) got the win and Eli Fulton (Clark CC, Capital HS) got the save for Hawks Prairie. Naoki Imoto (Olympic College) and Kyle Holtman (St. Clair County CC) each had two hits for Tumwater in the loss.

International Basketball League
Olympia Reign 132, Nippon Tornadoes 109 – Box score
Nate Menefee hit seven three pointers and scored 28 points, dished out eight assists and pulled down seven rebounds to lead the Olympia Reign to their fourth win of the season by beating the Nippon Tornadoes 132-109. Marcus Whitaker and Mike Ward scored 21 and 20 points respectively for the Reign and Giovanne Woods added another 13 points, 12 assists and seven boards. Brandon Adams, in his second game with the Reign, scored 16 points and had a team high 11 rebounds.
The Nippon Tornadoes were without the services of Jordan Mast and his 29.4 points and 13.2 points per game so Joe Wolfinger made up the difference by scoring 41 points and grabbing a ridiculous 35 rebounds, 26 of which were offensive.

Today (6/14): Saints, Brewers, A’s and Cardinals open PSCL league schedule
The league portion of the Puget Sound Collegiate League schedule starts tonight with a doubleheader at the RAC. Now that most, if not all, players are with their teams after their school year ended, from here on out the games count in the standings toward the ultimate goal of winning the league championship.
Tonight, the Lacey Saints host the Tumwater Brewers in game one of the doubleheader starting at 5:00 PM. The Brewers went 4-2 in the opening portion of the season despite hitting just .159 as a team in those six games. Kegan Duz-Aguilar (Centralia College) has two saves for the Brew Crew to start the season. Meanwhile, the Saints were one game behind the Brewers in the standings despite hitting .318 as a team. Christian Perez (De Anza CC) is 7-for-14 (.500) in five games played and Devin Ferguson (Centralia College, North Thurston) is 7-for-15 (.466) with five RBI in four games played. Colin Nilson (PLU) got the win in two of the Saints three victories and has given up just one earned run in nine innings pitched. On opening day, the Brewers beat the Saints 4-3.
In game two, the Olympia Athletics face the Hawks Prairie Cardinals. The A’s went 4-2 to begin the season behind two outstanding pitching performances from Ryan Smith (Chemeketa CC, Black Hills). In the first game of the season, Smith gave up just one earned and struck out ten batters in seven innings in a 4-1 win over the West Olympia Linx. On June 6th, Smith went eight innings and gave up two earned with eight K’s in a 3-2 win over the Tumwater Brewers.

And the tournaments keep on rolling along with Budd Bay Rugby’s 20th annual Tatunka 7’s Tournament at The Evergreen State College.

Golf, soccer, rugby, baseball. What else could you want? How about some championship roller derby action?

The Rolling Regulators, Fembots, Oly Outlaws and South Bay Bombers will battle it out to see who takes home the hardware. Tickets are $15 at the door, doors open at 6:00 PM and derby action gets underway at 6:30.
