You're OUTTA there!" After opening debacle: SENIOR JEFF HOLLOWAY pulls off the textbook plate-blocking put- out at home last week while Climber teammate Tristin Richerson looks on approvingly from the mound. Yes, Thurston's would-be scorer is • indeed seen trying to pick the ball out of the Climber catcher's mitt in the nearmost shot - seconds after being called out. Alas, the visiting Rams went on to win 15-4 nonetheless and spoil the Climbers' season opener. Shelton's boys rebounded the next night, though - still losing but not before holding the heavily favored Rams to just one run through five and a half innings. SHS bats get the message By STEVE PATCH The boys of Climber baseball settled for moral victory last week following an opening-day perfor- mance best forgotten. Given a choice between jut- jawed repetition and a fresh start, the Climbers went with the latter in the wake of their March 20 home-field debacle at the hands of North Thurston and wound up with a one-run nailbiter through five and a half innings against the same Rams on Thurston turf the next night. Yes, their hosts eventually pre- vailed - by a 5-0 count - but not before the Climbers satisfied their brand-new head coach that they'd .... indeed gotten his message. "They found out what they're capable of," says Don Daniels, assuring that almost nothing they'd done in the previous night's 4-15 embarrassment qualified as such. THAT GAME'S shortcomings pretty much ran the gamut, as Coach Daniels tells it. Not only did his Climbers lose mental focus and cease to execute the fundamentals, he says, but they resorted to chip- ping away at the officiating and thus further eroding their concen- tration. That they got his postgame mes- sage to the effect that such was not the way to play the game, adds Coach, was apparent all through Wednesday's Game Two, but espe- cially so during the first five and a half frames, when the Climbers held their favored hosts to just the lone first-inning run. The Rams put it away with four in the home half of the sixth, but even so it was a most encouraging performance, says Daniels. ON THE MOUND for the Climbers there in Thurston was sophomore veteran Jacob Dun- nington. He worked five innings before giving way to relief and al- lowed just three hits and two runs. He scattered seven walks and struck out two. Backing him up at the plate that night were junior veter Jordan Linnell (two for three with two stolen bases), sophomore vett eran Alex Okonek (one for three) and upstart ninth-grader Tyle: Dunnington (one for two with I double). Perennial all-leaguer Tristi Richerson was on the mound for the Climbers in their opener. The veteran senior lasted four innin chased by the eight-run damage caused chiefly by wildness (nine walks). He allowed three hits and struck out four. THE HOSTS HAD six hits i that outing. Jacob Dunningto went two for four with a double, He scored once and drove in a run as well. Linnell went one for three with an rbi and stole a base. Richerson helped himself with a rbi double and a stolen base, and Okonek and senior veteran Dea Bearden both went one for two Alex accounting for two runs Dean doing his damage by way of a double. In the wake of subsequent rai" outs the Climbers were slated to play at home today and Friday, Both opponents are nonleague, Action starts at 3:45 on High" climber Field.
