Today (3/30): Rain, rain go away
Wet fields and rain in the forecast have forced most bat and ball games to be canceled today. There is enough of a break that a few games may be played but I’ll be honest, I have no idea who is still planning on playing. Check the @OlySportsBlog Twitter account for updated information.
In all-weather soccer action, Capital hosts Yelm in a 3A Narrows League contest at Ingersoll Stadium. Remember, Ingersoll’s seating area is still closed so if you go to the game, bring a chair and an umbrella. Or better yet, a canopy. First kick is at 7:00 PM.
Or if you’d like to stay nice and dry, head over to Tumwater Stadium and watch Tumwater and Kevin Weyand take on Olympia in non-league action. First kick is at 7:00 PM and you can listen to all the action from home or almost any mobile device by going to the Eli Sports Network.

Tumwater improved to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the 2A EvCo behind two Kevin Weyand goals, his 10th and 11th of the season. Austin Snyder scored the only goal of the first half before the two teams combined for four in the second half including Weyand’s two and one from Kile Lenher.
Centralia jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and without the services of Nick Salazar, other than a Bin Hasan goal in the 25th minute, North Thurston was unable to close the gap.

Tonight (3/29): Soccer plays on
I’m not even going to bother giving you the baseball and fastpitch schedule for today since there is little chance anybody will play and you probably wouldn’t want to go to a game even if they did.
But soccer plays on despite this ridiculous weather, and tonight features a big game in the 2A EvCo when Tumwater plays host to Aberdeen. The Bobcats have won the league title for six consecutive seasons but are 3-2 in conference play this season. Meanwhile, the T-Birds come into the game at 5-0 overall and 4-0 in conference and are led by German exchange student Kevin Weyand’s nine goals. First kick at Tumwater Stadium is scheduled for 7:00 PM
River Ridge is also in action across town tonight when they host W.F. West at South Sound Stadium at 7:00 PM.

Lake Quinault 13, Northwest Christian 8
Black Hills’ Austin Heyland pitched a complete game giving up just one run on six hits to River Ridge in a 5-1 Wolves win. Despite only three hits and behind Leif Hanson’s complete game four hitter, Olympia knocked off South Kitsap 5-1 and remain undefeated on the season.
