Dominique Greeno’s grand slam in the third inning opened up the scoring for North Thurston and a seven run seventh inning gave the Rams the regular season sweep of Timberline with a 12-6 win on the Blazers’ home field. Both teams sit at 9-2 in the 3A Narrows League with one game to play and North Thurston holding the tiebreaker.
After Greeno’s slam gave North Thurston a 4-0 lead, Timberline quickly put two runs on the board in the bottom of the third. Each team added a run in the fourth inning, including Molly Emmons’ solo shot for the Blazers, and held each other scoreless in the fifth and sixth innings.
But in the seventh, the Blazers’ defense let them down and the Rams capitalized stringing together seven runs to take a commanding 12-3 lead. Timberline was able to put three runs on the board in the final frame but it was too little too late and they will now need to knock off Shelton and hope Mount Tahoma can upset North Thurston to take the regular season title.
Greeno added two more doubles and went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI and Dejah Hickman had three hits including a home run and two RBI for the Rams. Ciera Davis went the distance on the mound and picked up the win.
Ellie Jones had three hits, drove in a pair of runs and scored twice for the Blazers and Makenzie Sylvester also added three hits and two runs scored in the loss.

PHOTO GALLERY: North Thurston claims first place with contentious 7-6 win over Wilson

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.
