Capital 1, River Ridge 0

Narrows League regular season
Mount Tahoma 2, North Thurston 1
Gig Harbor 6, Timberline 0
Bellarmine 5, Olympia 0
North Thurston’s Kenny Heo scored a late goal but Mount Tahoma held on for a 2-1 win at South Sound Stadium. The Rams’ loss, combined with Shelton’s 3-3 tie with Wilson, means that the top four teams in the 3A Narrows League finished with seven wins. Wilson finishes at 7-3-2 while Mount Tahoma, Shelton and North Thurston are all 7-4-1. Mount Tahoma swept North Thurston, while the Rams split with Shelton, and Shelton and Mount Tahoma split. More than likely, this means that the seeds break down like this for districts: #1 Wilson, #2 Mount Tahoma, #3 Shelton, #4 North Thurston. If that is the case, the Rams would play Bonney Lake in Auburn on Saturday night.

GNAC Pitcher of the Year Sam Munger gave up just three hits over six innings and GNAC Player of the Year Lacey McGladrey homered and drove in four runs in Saint Martin’s 8-0 win over Central Washington on the first day of the GNAC tournament in Billings, Montana.

Olympia vs. Yelm – Stevens Field – 4:00 PM
Timberline vs. Shelton – Timberline HS – 4:00 PM
Olympia is tied with South Kitsap in first place of the 4A Narrows League at 9-2 but both of the Bears’ league losses came to the Wolves. To win the Narrows regular season title, they have to win today against 5-6 Yelm and hope that winless Stadium can pull off a major upset on Friday. The Bears won a close game in Yelm on April 15th, 4-2 while South Kitsap beat Stadium 29-0 early in the season.
On the 3A side of the Narrows, Timberline faces the same situation as Olympia. They currently sit at 9-2 in league tied with North Thurston but the Rams swept the season series and hold the tiebreaker. For the Blazers to win the regular season title, they need to beat 7-4 Shelton at home and hope that 1-9 Mount Tahoma can come up with some serious magic and knock off the Rams in Tacoma. The Blazers barely took down the Highclimbers in Shelton in their last meeting, scoring five runs in the final two innings to pull out the win. Meanwhile, North Thurston beat Mount Tahoma 17-7 in their first meeting.
