Tonight (3/24): Fight night in Olympia
If you’ve parked your car in just about any lot in Olympia over the last couple weeks, you’ve either pulled a flyer off your windshield or seen a discarded one on the ground for tonight’s Northwest Fight Challenge XIII -Annihilation! Brought to you by the Academy of Brian Johnson, there will be 10+ MMA fights on the card at the former Apex Carting facility in Tumwater. Tickets are $25 or $50 for VIP, doors open at 6:00 PM and fighting starts at 7:00.
The Saint Martin’s baseball team continues it’s series with Northwest Nazarene today at The SMU baseball field. The two teams split yesterday’s doubleheader and will play another two today starting at noon. Capital grad Tommy Deboer will get the start in game one for the Saints.
Olympia hosts Shelton in a 4A Narrows League game at Ingersoll Stadium at 7:00 PM. Bring yourself a chair and a blanket and enjoy front row seating on the track.
Across town at South Sound Stadium, Timberline hosts Tumwater in a non-league game at 1:00 PM. The feel of tin on your bottom will make you long for dry rot and a closed grandstand and your own camp chair on the track.
