Today (3/16): maybe some baseball and fastpitch?

Thursday scoreboard: rough night for Lacey
Boys soccer
Tumwater 2, North Thurston 1
Black Hills 2, River Ridge 1

It was a good night for Tumwater, but a rough one for Lacey. Black Hills got a goal from Jacob Mager in the eighth minute and the eventual game winning goal from Kyle Benavente in the 69th minute to knock off River Ridge 2-1 in a 2A EvCo matchup. Ivan Mendez had the equalizer in the 29th minute for the Hawks. At South Sound Stadium, North Thurston dropped to 1-1 in the 2A EvCo with their loss to Tumwater. The T-Birds are now 2-0 in conference play. And Timberline couldn’t stop Decatur’s Michael Klavuhn in their non-league game in Federal Way. Klavuhn scored four goals for the Gators in their 5-1 victory over the Blazers.
Today (3/15): soccer plays in the rain
I’m not going to worry about posting the schedules for baseball or fastpitch or any other weather dependent sport unless I hear that they are going to try to play through this mess. But soccer isn’t weather dependent, typically, so here’s what is going on tonight…
Tumwater @ North Thurston – 7:00 PM
Enumclaw @ Capital – 7:00 PM
River Ridge @ Black Hills – 7:00 PM
Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s the most wonderful day of the year. Yes, I have the March Madness.

Tonight (3/13): spring sports are a go
STOP THE PRESSES: The University of Washington plays in the NIT tonight! Just kidding. Move on.
The spring sports season gets going in earnest tonight and it looks like even this snow won’t stop the fun. Here is the schedule in town as far as I can tell. Of course, all softball and baseball games could easily be canceled…

Today (3/10): Saints and Yellowjackets continue, boys soccer kicks off
The Saint Martin’s/Montana State-Billings softball and baseball doubleheader extravaganza continues on Saturday and even includes some extra baseball from a third game. It all starts at 11:00 AM at the SMU baseball field when the Saints and Yellowjackets continue their 2-2 suspended game from Friday afternoon. It then continues with a doubleheader at both the baseball and softball field with first pitch for both games scheduled for 1:00 PM. Weather may move the baseball games to the RAC, which is a good bet since it is currently pouring.
Boys soccer kicks off around town today with a handful of games. At South Sound Stadium are a fun pair of alumni games. The Timberline boys play Blazer alumni at 3:00 PM and North Thurston plays their alumni at 7:00 PM and there will be a 21-and-0ver alumni after party at O’Blarney’s following the games.
Black Hills and Capital also kick off their seasons on Saturday with a 2:00 PM game at Black Hills High School.
