Wilson took a 6-5 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning but North Thurston pushed across two runs in the final frame to knock off Wilson, 7-6, to claim first place in the 3A Narrows League.
After North Thurston tied the score at six all in the seventh, Saralyn Campbell singled to right field. The throw home appeared to beat North Thurston’s Dejah Hickman by a few steps but the ump called her safe and set off a wild celebration on the home side and a furious argument by the visitors.
Once the dust settled, North Thurston found themselves on top of the league standings at 7-1, a half game ahead of Timberline (6-1) and a full game ahead of Wilson, who fell to 6-2 with the loss.

A double-squeeze laid down by Blake Nystrom in the third inning scored Chris Roy and Matt Mercer and that was all Timberline would need in claiming the 3A Narrows League title with a 2-0 win over North Thurston on the Rams’ home field.
Cobi Beal, Zach Owens and Tony Ortiz combined to pitch a two hit shutout for the Blazers, who are now 10-0 in league play and 15-2 overall and have outscored their opponents 101-6 in league play. They face Shelton for two games to finish out the regular season and will then be the #1 seed in the Narrows League tournament beginning next week at The RAC.
Riley Storedahl picked up the hard luck loss going 6 1/3 innings with six strikeouts and the Rams fell to 8-2 in league and 11-5 overall. They next face Mount Tahoma twice to close out the regular season and will likely go into the tournament as the #2 seed.
