Also today (5/8): District baseball all over the place
The high school baseball post season really gets going this afternoon…
The 17-1, 4A Narrows League champion Olympia Bears faces Tahoma at Curtis High School. Tahoma comes into the game at 13-6 overall. The winner of the game gets a spot in the state regional.
In the 3A west central/bi-district tournament, Capital plays a loser-out game against Decatur at 7:00 PM at Heidelberg Park in Tacoma. Decatur finished the regular season at just 3-16 but won two straight elimination games to make it to districts.
North Thurston gets a home game in the first round of the 2A District IV playoffs when they face RA Long. The Rams were 12-6 this season while RA Long comes into the game at 6-11. First pitch is at 4:30 PM.
Tumwater barely made the district tournament and is rewarded with a first round game at #1 seed W.F. West. The Bearcats are 18-1 this season. First pitch is at 4:30 PM and the game can be heard on the Eli Sports Network.
And after a 12-1 loss to Toutle Lake yesterday, Northwest Christian continues 2B District IV playoffs with a loser-out game against Naselle, who lost 7-1 to Morton-White Pass yesterday. The Navigators and Naselle split their season series. Naselle won 10-2 in Lacey on March 22nd while the Navs won 6-5 in Naselle on April 23rd. Game time is at 5:30 PM.
Today (5/8): 2A district soccer; Narrows League leaders meet
The postseason is in full swing today, let’s start with the 2A District IV soccer playoffs…
The undefeated and #1 seeded Tumwater T-Birds face Washougal today at Tumwater Stadium. The T-Birds scored four goals in the first six minutes of their opening district game and demolished W.F. West 9-0. Washougal is coming off a 2-1 win over Aberdeen. First kick is at 6:00 PM.
The North Thurston soccer team upset #1 seed Hockinson 3-0 on Saturday and now faces the GSHL #2 seed Mark Morris at Longview Memorial Stadium with a spot at state on the line. Kickoff is at 7:00 PM.
In other soccer action, the top two teams from the 3A Narrows League meet today at Ingersoll Stadium at 7:00 PM. Capital currently sits in first place at 7-0-2 with Wilson hot on their heels at 7-1-1. Wilson, though, has scored the most goals of any Narrows League team by 40 goals. They currently have 65 goals on the season but were limited to just one goal in their 2-1 loss to Capital on April 19th.

Today (5/5): District IV soccer playoffs; Saints doubleheader; Rams & Cougars at Cheney
The 2A District IV boys soccer playoffs start today when the EvCo #1 seed and undefeated Tumwater T-Birds host W.F. West. Tumwater got the better of the Bearcats in the regular season winning 2-0 on March 20th and 6-1 on April 17th. First kick at Tumwater Stadium is at 2:30 PM.
In other playoff action, the North Thurston boys soccer team travels to Battle Ground to take on Hockinson, the #1 seed from the Greater St. Helen’s League who are 12-1-2 overall this season. First kick at Battle Ground Stadium is at 6:00 PM.
The Saint Martin’s baseball team returns to action on campus with a doubleheader against GNAC runaway leader Western Oregon. The Wolves are 22-2 in the GNAC and are ten games up on second place Northwest Nazarene and 14 up on the Saints who are 10-18 in conference play. The Saints will honor Ben DeMond, a former Saint Martin’s baseball player that was killed by a drunk driver earlier this spring in Norwich, Connecticut. The memorial will begin at 12:30 PM with first pitch coming at 1:00 PM.
The North Thurston and Capital baseball teams square off in a non-league game at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma. This is the second season the two teams have played at the Triple-A ballpark of the Tacoma Rainiers. Tickets are $15 and includes a ticket to an upcoming Rainiers game, a hot dog and a drink. Game time is at 1:00 PM.
And it wouldn’t surprise me if there are a ton of makeup softball and baseball games around town. Check your local ball yard.
Finally, South Sound Speedway continues their season with a whole host of races tonight including my favorite, bump-to-pass. Qualifying begins at 5:00 PM and racing starts at 6:30.

Vancouver Volcanoes 117, Olympia Reign 116 – Box score will be here eventually
Today (5/3): Reign, rain, rain
The Olympia Reign hope to get back on track when they host the Portland Chinooks tonight at the Skookum Creek Events Center.
On Saturday night, the Reign picked up their first win of the season with a 138-127 win over the Chinooks in Portland but stumbled Tuesday against the Vancouver Volcanoes losing 114-99. In Saturday’s win, Nicholas Moore and Marcus Whitaker both scored over 30 points and Giovanne Woods added 27. The Chinooks’ Jared Cunningham – from Cleveland State, not the NBA bound, early entry from Oregon State – scored 32 points and brought down 14 boards.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM
In boys soccer action, Timberline travels to Ingersoll Stadium to take on 3A Narrows League leader Capital at 7:00 PM. Capital is 6-0-2 on the season and Timberline is 3-3-2, good enough for third in league. The two teams played to a 1:1 tie on April 11th.
Weather has already cancelled the 3A Narrows League title game today between Timberline and Yelm. They will go to Districts as the #1 and #2 seeds respectively.
Weather has also moved the Tumwater/North Thurston baseball game to the RAC at 6:00 PM, if it gets played at all. River Ridge is also scheduled to play Centralia today, but it is highly doubtful they will get that game in.
UPDATE: River Ridge and Centralia have been moved to the RAC with first pitch scheduled for 3:00 PM.
