What an interesting collection of games tonight in the South Sound.
Some of the scenarios are a little confusing, but two of tonight’s games feature teams that have to win to make the playoffs: Olympia at Yelm and River Ridge at Capital. Yelm and River Ridge have to win to keep their seasons alive and while the Yelm situation is complicated, if River Ridge wins they will force a three way tie for two playoff spots and the three teams will play a Kansas tiebreaker on Tuesday.
But the big game in town tonight is at South Sound Stadium where Timberline at 5-0 in 3A Narrows League play hosts Shelton, who are 4-1. With a win, Timberline takes the league title outright. But if the Highclimbers win, there will be a three way tie atop the Narrows League and a tiebreaker will be used to determine seeding. According to The Olympian, Shelton has to win by at least 14 to secure the #1 seed. You can hear me an John McGlamery call all the action on 1030 AM or KMAS.com
And even struggling Rainier plays an interesting game tonight when Seton Catholic comes to town. The Mountaineers are 0-8 this season while the Cougars are 1-7. The two teams have been outscored by a combined 859-170. Something has to give. Can Rainier actually pull one out and go out of this horrendous season on a high note?

River Ridge grad is back in baseball…in Croatia
Sam Mirkovich, a 1998 River Ridge graduate who went on to play baseball at Centralia College and Central Washington, recently moved with his wife and dog to teach at an American school in Zagreb, Croatia. And not only does Sam get to enjoy an absolutely beautiful city and country, but he is once again playing baseball, now for Baseball klub Zagreb.
And in his first start for the klub, Mirkovich pitched a complete, nine inning shutout striking out ten batters while giving up just five hits and walking just one.
Mirkovich remarked on his Facebook page, “Somebody pinch me. If you asked me after college if I ever pitch a complete game again I tell you “no way”, on top of that in Croatia. Unbelievable experience. I’m having the time of my life here.”
Sam has agreed to write a diary of his experiences as the only American on a Croatian baseball team for Oly Sports, at least when he has time. Teaching, playing ball and enjoying his beautiful new home with his wife and dog are first and foremost and I’d hate to take him away from that, but it is truly a unique experience and I look forward to his dispatches soon.
You can watch a video of highlights from his first start here…
