He pulled out a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Aberdeen's Peter Means before hitting the meat of the upper divi- sion and bowing out shy of place- ment. SIMILARLY triumphant was the Climbers' number-one dou- bles duo of junior Josh Remmen and freshman Bryan Woods, who knocked off Aberdeen's Pete Day and Mike err 7-5 and 6-4 before bowing out against two of the top- seeded tandems. And, last but not least, the Climbers' second doubles team of freshman Brandon Bennett and junior Mike Currier - both first- year players - gave Tumwater's Rick Gadd & Eliot Stevenson a tussle before bowing out in their  i,i  .:: ': ii ::.i?: '  ii i::.

BREWER, SEEDED sixth in the singles division, followed up a first-round bye with a 4-6, 6-4, 6- 4 win over third-seeded Tony Cole of Tumwater. Ironically, Cole went on to sur- vive the losers' bracket and finish fourth overall - ahead of his Climber vanquisher. Anyway, Brewer then ran into defending (and eventually repeat) champion Ben Handy of Olympia and lost 2-6, 0-6, and then he bowed out by way of a 4-6, 2-6 loss to Olympia's Eric Leicht - the eventual third-place finisher. CRABTREE, meanwhile, fol- lowed his pigtail win with an oh- and-oh loss to eventual runner-up Scott Nguy of Capital and a 1-6, 0-6 loss to ely's aforementioned Leicht. A fine performance it was nonetheless, says Climber head coach John Perry, noting was Ryan's first time at trict. Remmen and Woods followed their opening victory with a 2-6, 1-6 loss to second-seeded (and eventual fourth-place-finishing) Jason Higbee and Jesse Allan of Tumwater and a 2-6, 2-6 loss to Kiley Floor and Kyle Newman of Capital. ALL IN ALL, says Coach Per- ry, the season was a success. With four regular-season wins as a team, after all, his boys met their preseason goal - namely, to double last year's victory count. More impressive, he notes, they did it despite fielding the youngest team in the league, with no fewer than three freshmen in varsity roles. The only school even close was Aberdeen, with a pair.

The 1996 Shelton High School graduate clubbed her 13th home run (she's already the school's all- time recordholder in that depart- ment, with 43) in Minnesota's 3-2 championship-game win over perennial titleist Michigan last weekend, when the Gophers went 3-0 to win their first-ever Big Ten tournament championship. Awaiting them at this week's regional tourney, incidentally, is UCLA - the number-one-ranked team in the nation. Beeler goes into the tourney batting a team-high .361, with 57 rbi (one shy of the lead) and 12 doubles (again tops on the team). And all this with a busted-up hand she can hardly grip the bat with but still refuses to turn over to the surgeon's knife till after her Olympic team tryout, which fol- lows closely on the heels of her collegiate season. Incidentally, with 238 career runs batted in, Beeler stands fifth on the all-time NCAA Division I list, just two runs behind #4. Her Gophers' first regional out- ing, against Creighton, is set for this afternoon in Los Angeles. Win or lose, they'll play tomorrow as well. Local racers score in Elma More than one Shelton driver finished in the top ten last week- end in dirt-track action at Grays Harbor Raceway Park in Elms. Sprint-car defending champ Jay Cole, for instance, took third in his 25-lap main event. Fellow townsman Joe Lambert wound up #10 in the hobby-stock field, while Shelton's Tom Wil- liams and Dan West Jr. were six- seven among moliifieds. SEVENTH-INNING stretch?

Anyway, Brewer then ran into defending (and eventually repeat) champion Ben Handy of Olympia and lost 2-6, 0-6, and then he bowed out by way of a 4-6, 2-6 loss to Olympia's Eric Leicht - the eventual third-place finisher. CRABTREE, meanwhile, fol- lowed his pigtail win with an oh- and-oh loss to eventual runner-up Scott Nguy of Capital and a 1-6, 0-6 loss to ely's aforementioned Leicht. A fine performance it was nonetheless, says Climber head coach John Perry, noting was Ryan's first time at trict. Remmen and Woods followed their opening victory with a 2-6, 1-6 loss to second-seeded (and eventual fourth-place-finishing) Jason Higbee and Jesse Allan of Tumwater and a 2-6, 2-6 loss to Kiley Floor and Kyle Newman of Capital. ALL IN ALL, says Coach Per- ry, the season was a success. With four regular-season wins as a team, after all, his boys met their preseason goal - namely, to double last year's victory count. More impressive, he notes, they did it despite fielding the youngest team in the league, with no fewer than three freshmen in varsity roles. The only school even close was Aberdeen, with a pair.

The 1996 Shelton High School graduate clubbed her 13th home run (she's already the school's all- time recordholder in that depart- ment, with 43) in Minnesota's 3-2 championship-game win over perennial titleist Michigan last weekend, when the Gophers went 3-0 to win their first-ever Big Ten tournament championship. Awaiting them at this week's regional tourney, incidentally, is UCLA - the number-one-ranked team in the nation. Beeler goes into the tourney batting a team-high .361, with 57 rbi (one shy of the lead) and 12 doubles (again tops on the team). And all this with a busted-up hand she can hardly grip the bat with but still refuses to turn over to the surgeon's knife till after her Olympic team tryout, which fol- lows closely on the heels of her collegiate season. Incidentally, with 238 career runs batted in, Beeler stands fifth on the all-time NCAA Division I list, just two runs behind #4. Her Gophers' first regional out- ing, against Creighton, is set for this afternoon in Los Angeles. Win or lose, they'll play tomorrow as well. Local racers score in Elma More than one Shelton driver finished in the top ten last week- end in dirt-track action at Grays Harbor Raceway Park in Elms. Sprint-car defending champ Jay Cole, for instance, took third in his 25-lap main event. Fellow townsman Joe Lambert wound up #10 in the hobby-stock field, while Shelton's Tom Wil- liams and Dan West Jr. were six- seven among moliifieds. SEVENTH-INNING stretch?
