Tumwater 3, Franklin Pierce 0 – More from The Olympian
After not registering even one shot on goal in the first half, Bradley Saner opened the scoring in the 44th minute and Tumwater never looked back in their 3:1 win over Franklin Pierce in the quarterfinals of the 2A state tournament. The T-Birds earned their first trip to the semifinals and will play Fife on Friday, May 25th at Sunset Chevy Stadium in Sumner.

Rick Ahlf went 3-for-4 and Matt Mercer got the win in Timberline’s 5-0 win over West Seattle in the opening round of the 3A state playoffs. The win setup a quarterfinals matchup with Eastside Catholic but the Blazers were unable to hold off the Crusaders and were bumped from the tournament with a 5-1 loss.
North Thurston 4, Fife 1
Sumner 5, North Thurston 4
North Thurston’s Tyler Ridgeway pitched a three hit complete game and went 2-for-3 with two runs to knock off Fife in the first round of the 2A state tournament at Bearcat Stadium in Chehalis. The two runs that the Rams scored in the first inning proved to be enough to move them into the next round against Sumner.
In the quarterfinals, the Rams took a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning but Sumner answered right back with four runs in the fifth inning and added another in the seventh. Down 5-3, North Thurston scored a run in the bottom half of the inning but Spencer Dorsey was thrown out at the plate trying to score on a passed ball and the Rams season came to a heartbreaking end.
