Shelton-Mason County Journal TRACK SOFTBALL gs cooled off en route to state? By DEAN SIEMON After the first day of the 2A West Central Dis- trict softball tournament at 8prinker Recreation Com- plex in Tacoma, North Ma- son High School looked like their hot streak would con- tinue. With a 26-3 win over Sum- ner High School on Friday and a 6-1 win over Franklin Pierce only a few hours later, the Lady Bulldogs (13-10) clinched a berth into the 2A state championship tourna- ment for the 12th straight season. But on the second day of districts, North Mason suf- fered two losses to finish with a fourth-seed heading into the state tournament on May 27 and 28 at Carlon Park in Selah. On Saturday, North Ma- son lost 13-3 to White River High School (15-4) in the dis- trict tournament's semifinal round, where the Hornets collected 22 hits to the Lady Bulldogs'eight. North Mason head coach Molleigh Fusare said that the emotion from Friday may have fizzled on Saturday. "They really extended themselves on Friday be- cause they did not have a lot of energy on Saturday," she said. Fusare said another fac- tor in the 13-3 loss was that White River's pitcher threw at a much slower pace, which threw off the offensive rhythm built up in the last two weeks. "We took too long to make the adjustments we needed to," Fusare said. In a match for third and fourth place, North Mason lost to Olympic League rival Port Angeles High School (i9-3), 7-4. Tristan St~omberg pitched the entire game and gave up 11 hits and six of the runs were earned. Fusare said that Amanda Johnson had pitched a lot of innings in recent weeks and Stromborg was a capable starting pitcher. "We have two very capa- ble pitchers," she said. The Lady Bulldogs are scheduled to face Centralia High School in the opening round at noon on May 27 at Carlon Park. Depending on how the first round goes, North Ma- son could have a rematch against White River in their second game. "I would love the oppor- tunity to play White River again," Fusare said. "I feel pretty confident that we can boat them." Fusare said North Ma- son's passion that was seen on Friday should be back as the pressure on the team to win returns. "We just have to play our game and we have to go up TRACK See Softball on page C-5 Shelton High School's Tre Fisher clears six feet during the Tahoma High School in Tacoma.
