SOFTBALL Journal photo by Dean Siemon Despite early struggles, Shelton High School's Forest Puterbaugh pitched a complete game at 3A Timberline High School in Lacey on Friday. First two innings doom Shelton on road By DEAN SIEMON While Shelton High School baseball played well defensively in five of the in- nings at 3A Timberline High School, it was not enough in Friday's 6-1 loss. The Highclimbers (2-13, 1-11 4A Narrows League) were outscored by the Blaz- ers (13-2, 7-0 3A Narrows League) 6-0 in the first two innings. "We just lose it in one or two innings," said Shelton outfielder Danny Higuchi. "We should be a .500 or bet- ter club right now." Shelton's Forest Puter- At the top of the inning, Puterbaugh hit Timberline's Colin McCusker before an RBI double from Ben Smith and an RBI from Colin Pat- terson. Timberline's David Padil- la hit an RBI double for the fourth run of the first. In the second inning, Timberline's Ro]ert Ortiz and Ryan Tydingco each had RBI singles. "They were just hitting where we weren't," Higu- chi said. "But when [Puter- baugh] was getting control, they were hitting it right to our players." runners on base. "There was a lot of pres- sure put on by the other team," Higuchi said. "And when you're playing intese like when we were battling back, sometimes you could be a little overanxious." James Dickson went three out of four in the game. But Joe Strand had the single run batted in on a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the fifth inning.

The Lady Bulldogs scored six runs in the bottom of the fifth inning en route to a 8-3 1A/2A/3A Olympic League win. North Mason (6-9, 6-7 Olympic League) began the inning trailing the Eagles (3-7, 3-6 Olympic League) 3-1 with J.ordyn and Tristan Stromberg each getting on base and advaning on a hit from Amanda Johnson. After a wild pitch allowed Jordyn Stromberg to steal home, Abbey Mar- shall hit a two-run double with one out. During the at-bat, Marshall hit two pitches down the left field line, both go- ing foul by a small margin. "My legs were shaking," Marshall said about after hitting two foul balls. "I always get nervous when I have two strikes." Marshall said her double, which helped start the scoring rally, came off a pitch inside the strikezone. "When they're inside, it definitley helps," she said. North Mason head coach Molleigh Fusare said Marshall, like some of those that have struggled in the Lady Bulldogs' lineup, has been hitting the ball hard all season. "We're making adjustments at bat to get hits," Fusare said. The next North Mason batter, Kori Frohlich, hit an RBI double as well and after a double from Julie Johnson, Em- ily Younkin hit a two-run double of her own. • All six runs were scored while the Lady Bulldogs had only one out. North Mason combined for 11 hits as a team, led by Younkin, Julie Johnson and Marshall, each went two for three. "We're really coming around at the right time," Fusare said. "We're putting the ball in play from one through nine [in the lineup]." And with the league win on April 20 against Port Townsend High School at home by a score of 16-0, 10 runs in the sixth inning, Fusare said the recent of- fensive eruption is a turning point in the season. "Playoff spots are up for grabs and we have to be hungry to get one," she said. April 21 at North Mason High School in Belfair Klahowya 0030000-350 N. Mason 000161x-8112 North Mason pitching: A.
