Rochester doomed by late goal in loss to Aberdeen
ROCHESTER — It felt like a matter of when, not if. As the second half of Rochester and Aberdeen’s matchup rolled on, the Bobcats seemed destined to take the lead. They had, after all, tied the game at one 15 minutes into the second half, and the pressure on the Rochester back line continued to build. That pressure led to a critical crack in the final moments, as Rochester gave up the game-winning goal with three minutes remaining. The Warriors couldn’t muster an equalizer, and they were left with a bitterly disappointing 2-1 defeat. “I think we got a little disorganized on our back line,” Ashton said. “Our two center backs got split … It’s frustrating.” Like their last two games, losses to Centralia and Kelso, Rochester started the game off on the right foot. The Warriors were putting pressure on the Aberdeen defense, and they took advantage of a mistake in the 8th minute. The Aberdeen goalkeeper misplayed and juggled the ball in the box. Christian Acahua pounced on the loose ball, and he promptly placed it in the back of the net to score his first goal of the season. “He didn’t give up,” Ashton said. “That’s the important part. He was able to take it and get the goal. It’s good for him.” The Bobcats began to ramp up the pressure late in the first half, but their only true chance rang off the post, and Rochester held the lead at the break. It was the second half where Aberdeen really began to take momentum, dominating possession and advancing the ball deep into the Rochester half several times in the half’s first 10 minutes. The equalizer came in the 56th minute, and the winner came 21 minutes later. In between Aberdeen goals, the Warriors never generated a true scoring chance, and they rarely possessed the ball deep into the offensive half. “I think Aberdeen just came out stronger than us in the second half, and it showed,” Ashton said. “I wish it went the other way.” It’s the second-straight game that the Warriors (5-8, 4-5 2A EvCo) have let a second-half lead slip away. In their matchup at Kelso, they led 2-0 with 15 minutes to play, but lost 3-2. The loss puts Rochester out of the top four in the EvCo standings. A win would have left them tied with Centralia for third and just one game back of second. With three league games left in the regular season, Ashton’s message to the team emphasized that the Warriors are still very much alive in the hunt for a postseason berth. But after four losses in their last five league games, the margin for error is now razor-thin. “Every game is a must-win for us,” Ashton said. “We can’t say that our season is over yet, because it’s not … We have to finish strong.” Rochester’s first chance to bounce back will come on Tuesday at Shelton. |

Beavers continue slide in league setback
Tenino dropped its ninth consecutive game on Thursday night as defensive blunders proved costly in a 12-2, five-inning setback at the hands of Montesano on the road. Of the runs given up by Beavers starter Chloe Grayless, just two of them were earned. They succumbed to seven errors as the Bulldogs jumped out in front with three runs in the bottom of the first inning and five more in the second. Tenino (2-13, 0-6 Evergreen) got two of those runs back in the third on a Sophia Hussey RBI single and Tamara Snodderly stealing home. Hussey finished 3-for-3 at the plate with a double and a stolen base for the Beavers. Tenino will return to Montesano to play a weekend tournament on Saturday before a league contest at home against Hoquiam on Monday. |

Mossyrock manhandles Wishkah Valley in run-rule win
Behind most of the Vikings roster getting a plate appearance and executing 12 stolen bases, they were on cruise control in a 20-4 win over the Loggers on Thursday night in Mossyrock. All the Vikings (6-4) needed were six hits as they capitalized on nine Wishkah Valley errors and drew nine walks. They didn’t get the ball out of the infield in their first 10 at-bats and went up 6-0, then Wylde Greisen roped a two-run single in the midst of an 11-run opening inning. Mossyrock added two more in the third and put the finishing touches on a victory with a seven-run fourth. Greisen drove in three runs while Easton Kolb had two RBIs, three runs scored and four stolen bases. Three Vikings pitchers combined to allow four hits and strikeout 11 Loggers at the plate. Mossyrock is scheduled to play Napavine on Tuesday afternoon at home. |

Mountaineers' bats erupt to run-rule Cardinals
A six-run lead quickly ballooned to double digits as Rainier pounded out 12 hits and took advantage of six errors in a 19-2 rout of Winlock on Thursday in a C2BL matchup at home. Since losing seven in a row, the Mountaineers (7-8, 7-7 C2BL) have responded with five wins in their last six games. Their offense has come alive, scoring double figures in all but two contests. The bats woke up in the bottom of the fourth versus the Cardinals. What started with an RBI double by Dayton Gardner torpedoed into an outburst that featured four RBI singles, a two-run double and a two-run infield error. Kaymen Larman finished with four runs batted in while three Rainier batters all crossed home four times. Its lineup combined for five extra-base hits. Winlock (2-12, 2-12) scored one run each in the third and fourth innings, both on errors. Carter Svenson and Emilio Martinez each had a hit for the Cardinals, who will face Napavine on Monday in a league twinbill. Rainier will battle Toutle Lake on Monday for two league games. |
