Today (3/23): Saints baseball, Cougars versus Rams
It seems like it’s been forever since Saint Martin’s played a baseball game in town, but they are back today at SMU Field with great weather for today’s doubleheader against Northwest Nazarene.
The Saints come into the game at 7-19 overall and 3-5 in the GNAC. After a 3-1 start in conference they dropped a pair of doubleheaders at Central Washington and are now in third place. The Crusaders are 13-9 overall and 2-4 in the GNAC and are fourth in the conference. River Ridge alum Jon Matos is hitting .203 with one homerun for NNU. First pitch is at 1:00 PM today.
The North Thurston and Capital boys soccer teams each notched league victories on Thursday night and will square off tonight in a non-league tilt at South Sound Stadium. Nick Salazar has scored two straight game winning goals for the Rams and Matteo Nartempi has scored three goals in his past two games. First kick is at 7:00 PM.
In high school baseball action, Tumwater hosts W.F. West at 4:30 PM and there are probably other makeup games scheduled that I have not seen on schedules yet.
Slideshow: Capital vs. Lincoln
This is my first go around with a brand new lens for my camera, so some of these pictures aren’t great since I was just trying to figure it out, but here’s the first slideshow in Oly Sports history – hopefully a regular feature. Capital beat Lincoln, 3-1.
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…

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.
