Warriors race past Hawks, into district quarterfinals
The Rochester softball team took control early in Hockinson on Tuesday and never looked back, as the Warriors steamrolled the Hawks 18-0 in five innings to advance to the district quarterfinals. Macey Fluetsch gave the Warriors (11-12) a lead just three batters in with an RBI single, and after another run scored on a groundout, back-to-back RBI doubles from Leah Hartley and Sara Haury made it 4-0 before Hockinson stepped up to the plate. “I said to come out swinging and good things are going to happen,” Rochester coach Joni Lancaster said. “They’ve been hungry and aggressive at the plate and believing in themselves and each other. That’s all I can ask for.” That aggressiveness carried over into the second, where the Warriors added a pair, and into the fourth inning, where they blew the game open. Rochester scored 11 runs in that frame, including a two-run triple from McKenna Vassar and a three-run home run from Hartley. Arissa LeBaron also added a two-run home run just two at-bats after Hartley’s, and Layna Demers capped the inning with a two-run double. “They’ve been accomplishing what we’ve been asking and then some,” Lancaster said. “The last two games, with our season on the line and backs against the wall, they’ve dug deep and found it.” Vassar and Hartley finished with four runs batted in each, and Fluetsch finished with three hits and three RBIs. Demers went 4 for 4 at the plate with two doubles and three RBIs, and she also allowed just one hit in five shutout innings in the circle. As a team, the Warriors finished with 21 hits. The Warriors are through to the quarterfinals and the double-elimination portion of the district tournament. They’ll take on Mark Morris in the quarterfinals on Thursday at Recreation Park in Chehalis. |

Mossyrock's offense silenced in season-ending loss
Mossyrock’s offense went quiet at the worst time on Tuesday, as the Vikings lost to Mount Vernon Christian 3-0 in the Opening Round of the 1B State Tournament. Easton Kolb did what he could to keep the Vikings in the game on the mound, allowing just one hit and three unearned runs in the five and two-third innings of work, but Mossyrock couldn’t muster any runs against Mount Vernon Christian’s Joel Votipka. The Vikings had their chances early, but they stranded five runners on base in the first two innings, and the Hurricanes took the lead with three runs in the third. “The bottom part of our lineup hit the ball well today,” Mossyrock coach Darren Kolb said. “We just couldn’t manufacture runs.” Votipka settled in on the mound, and he ended up striking out 10 Mossyrock hitters in six and two-third innings. From the third inning on, only three Vikings made it into scoring position, and none of the three advanced beyond second base. The Hurricanes are through to the state quarterfinals, where they’ll play No. 1 Liberty Christian on Saturday, while the Vikings finish their season 10-9. While Kolb was disappointed with the final result on Tuesday, he noted that after losing seven seniors from last year’s squad, he’s thrilled with how this group grew over the course of the season. “We’ve come a long way,” Kolb said. “We succeeded as a program. Our kids got better … I’m proud of the kids.” |
