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.

Tumwater 15, River Ridge 0

Timberline comes into the district tournament on a two game losing streak. Their 14-2 non-conference loss to South Kitsap snapped a 14 game winning streak and was followed by a 5-3 loss to North Thurston in the Narrows League championship game. That loss dropped them into a loser-out game against Bonney Lake at Heidelberg Park in Tacoma at 7:00 PM.

2A District IV tournament
Tumwater vs. Hockinson – Tumwater HS – 4:30 PM

Trailing 2-0 heading into the top of the seventh inning, North Thurston scored five runs including Noah Murski’s bases loaded three run base hit that put the Rams up for good in their 5-3 win over Timberline. Ryan Mets struck out eight Blazers over six innings and the Rams will head into districts as the #1 seed out of the 3A Narrows, earning themselves a bye in the first round.
4A Narrows League championship game
South Kitsap 2, Olympia 1
South Kitsap opened up the scoring quickly with two runs in the first inning and that was all they would need in their 2-1 win over Olympia. Cameron Frost scored on a wild pitch in the fourth inning but that was all the Bears could muster offensively. Michael Fairchild settled down after a rough first inning and pitched a complete game for the Bears but suffered the loss. Olympia heads into districts as the #2 seed from the Narrows.

North Thurston and Timberline both swept through Narrows League play undefeated until the two teams met on April 19th.

The Rams outscored their league mates 129-10 through 13 games while the Blazers outscored their opponents 113-9 in 12 games. The winner today claims the Narrows League title and the #1 seed to districts while the winner claims the #2 spot.
Olympia suffered just one loss in the 4A Narrows League regular season and that came to South Kitsap in Port Orchard, a 10-0 loss on April 16th. The Bears won the first meeting between the two teams in March, 10-4. The Bears finished 11-1 in league while South Kitsap was second place at 8-4. The Wolves knocked off Bellarmine 5-0 on Wednesday to get to the title game. Again, the winner gets the #1 seed to districts while the loser gets the #2 seed.
