The Snoqualmie Valley Bucks 14-U boys baseball team won the Moses Lake Legends tournament, June 15 to 17, going undefeated 5-0, scoring 49 runs and 10-running every team except one.

The Bucks are boys, mostly from the Upper and Lower Valley, who play at Bucky’s Baseball Academy in North Bend, coached by ex-Mariner Bucky Jacobsen.

“Most of these young men have been with me for two years now, and for those that have put forth the time and effort necessary, their improvement and overall ability is undeniable,” Jacobsen says. “It is truly my pleasure to coach these guys when they take care of business like they did during this tourney.”
