Blue skies out my window and the weather report says nothing of rain. Let’s play some ball.
Lots of rescheduled baseball and fastpitch games today including another community college baseball doubleheader at the RAC. And Olympia plays the lone boys soccer game in town tonight. Bring your chair to Ingersoll Stadium and sit right next to the field while the stands are closed.

Tumwater got goals from Jacob Irwin and Kevin Weyand i their 2-0 2A EvCo win. Jacob Maeger scored for Black Hills but Nathaniel Orosco’s two goals were enough for Centralia to pick up the league win. The River Ridge/Aberdeen was reported by someone that left with seven minutes left, which is good enough for a blog.

Timberline 6, Bonney Lake 2
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…

Centralia 6, River Ridge 3
Leo Valenti went 2-for-2 with a homerun and two RBI for Olympia in their 7-4 victory over Timberline on Monday. Timberline was led by a 3-for-4 day from Ty Gartner. Nick Mailhot struck out nine batters and drove in the game winning run in the eighth inning for Northwest Christian in their 2B Pacifiic League opener against Ocosta. North Thurston was led by Charles Vaughn’s 2-for-3 and two RBI day in the Ram’s victory over Tumwater. And Brad Wallace went 2-for-4 and River Ridge only surrendered five hits but it wasn’t enough to beat Centralia.

Boys soccer
North Thurston 1, Yelm 0
South Kitsap 1, Olympia 0
Nick Salazar’s breakaway goal in the 33rd minute was enough for North Thurston as Taylor Kirkland saved eight shots and posted his first shutout of the season in their 1-0 victory over Yelm.
Today (3/19): Play ball!
Looks like we should finally have decent weather for today’s slate of high school baseball games. Accuweather is predicting showers around noon but hopefully the tarps are on the fields and it won’t be enough to wipe any of these games out…
Mark Morris @ Tumwater – 4:00 PM
Timberline @ Olympia – 4:00 PM
Ocosta @ Northwest Christian – 4:00 PM
Shelton @ Capital – 4:00 PM
There is also one fastpitch game scheduled to be played in town today when Capital hosts Olympia at 4:00 PM.
And two boys soccer games round out today’s sports schedule. South Kitsap visits Olympia in a 4A Narrows League matchup. Game time is at 7:00 PM. And Yelm visits North Thurston in a non-league match at 7:00 PM at South Sound Stadium.

Today (3/16): maybe some baseball and fastpitch?
The forecast doesn’t look too bad and we just might get a baseball or fastpitch game in today. So here are some games that could possibly be played today. Timberline secured some turf so at the very least they should get their game in today.

Thursday scoreboard: rough night for Lacey
Boys soccer
Tumwater 2, North Thurston 1
Black Hills 2, River Ridge 1
Decatur 5, Timberline 1
It was a good night for Tumwater, but a rough one for Lacey. Black Hills got a goal from Jacob Mager in the eighth minute and the eventual game winning goal from Kyle Benavente in the 69th minute to knock off River Ridge 2-1 in a 2A EvCo matchup. Ivan Mendez had the equalizer in the 29th minute for the Hawks. At South Sound Stadium, North Thurston dropped to 1-1 in the 2A EvCo with their loss to Tumwater. The T-Birds are now 2-0 in conference play. And Timberline couldn’t stop Decatur’s Michael Klavuhn in their non-league game in Federal Way. Klavuhn scored four goals for the Gators in their 5-1 victory over the Blazers.
