It’s a hole in one
Bill Adams, of Bellevue, shot his first-ever hole in one at the Mount
Si Golf Course in Snoqualmie. He used a 7-iron on the 116-yard hole
fourth hole.
Legion notches first win
The Snoqualmie Valley American Legion team took on Lakeside
Green, playing 12 innings of ball only to have the game called on account of
darkness with the score 1-1. The game will continue the next time the teams meet.
“We had great pitching from our starter Matt Poth who went 4-2/3
innings and then Mike Dahm gave us 6 2/3 innings of great relief
pitching,” said coach Ken LaBelle. Brent
Clarke finished the final inning of the game combining with Dahm and Poth to
allow only four hits and giving up only five walks over the 12 innings of work.
The only run for the Valley boys came in the sixth inning.
With Lakeside Green leading 1-0, Joey Adams singled to start the inning
then advanced to second on a passed ball. Aaron Svarthulme then singled
to drive Adams in to score. The team could only produce six hits
against some tough Lakeside Green pitching.
For their next game, the team traveled to Bannerwood Park in
Bellevue to face off against the Lakeside Grey team. They came home with a 9-1
victory and the first league win of the new season. You could say that this
game was the Brent Clarke show. Clarke drew the starting honors for the
Valley A-L team and went all seven innings, racking up 12 strike outs
and allowing only one hit and giving up one walk. Clarke also provided the
offense for the team going 3-for-4 at the plate, including an RBI double in
the fifth inning to score both David LaBelle and Mike Dahm.
Other key plays included a double by Poth in the second to score
Clarke and a two-run dinger by Adams to score Poth. In the fourth, Poth led
the inning off with a single and Scott Johnson singled scoring Poth.
Again in the fifth inning, Tyler Osborne came up with a well-placed hit to
score Clarke. Then Johnson again doubled to score Osborne. Johnson then
came around to score on a double by Adams.
These two games were big ones for the Valley A-L team. They showed
that the team has the talent to compete with the more established teams in
the league. The coaching staff and players are all looking forward to good
ball and a few more wins for the home team.
Rainier Colt team takes third in Bothell tournament
Over the Memorial Day weekend the Sno-Valley Colt team traveled
to Bothell to chase trophies and in the end collected third place in the
14-team tourney. On the road to the medal round the Rainiers beat the
Bothell Blaze 9-1 on Saturday afternoon and then stepped up to beat
the Woodinville team 9-4 on Sunday morning. In Sunday’s
afternoon match-up, the Rainiers faced the Carnation Riverview team and came
away with a 9-3 win.
Through these first three games the team hit very well. Several players
had multiple hits including Jeremy Bess, Bruce Opsal, Steve Mauter, Kyle
Doty, Jeff Shriver and Dan Baldwin. The Rainiers had good pitching from
Brandon Bumpus, Tyler Roy, Baldwin and Brandon Choate over the three games.
Roy proved to be the workhorse, going a total of ten innings.
In the semi-finals the Rainiers spoke with their bats early in the
contest, scoring three runs in the first inning and four in the second, to go
up early 7-0. However it was not enough as the Sox came back and slowly
ate away at the lead until they evened the score in the fifth inning on a
two-run double. The Rainiers scored again in the top of the sixth but couldn’t
hold off the Sox who scored again to put the game out of reach.
Coach Frank Faoro and Keith Schwope both commented that
they just didn’t have enough pitching given the timing of the games and
compressed schedule due to rain Saturday morning.
In the playoff game against Riverview, the Rainiers again
jumped out to a big lead, off of a single by Bess and a double by Opsal. This
time they held on and came away with an 8-6 win over the Carnation boys.
It was a great weekend of baseball.
