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.
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…

Today (3/20): play ball?
One day after the first passable day of the spring, the weather is once again wreaking havoc with the schedule. Today and Wednesday’s scheduled doubleheaders between Saint Martin’s and Northwest Nazarene’s softball teams have already been cancelled and I’d describe these high school baseball and fastpitch games as questionable to doubtful…
