| im By DEAN SIEMON The Shelton Timbers 17U Ameri- can Legion baseball team suffered a tough loss on the road to the Foss Tugs, 6-5, on Tuesday at Foss High School in Tacoma. Shelton (3-4) had a strong fourth inning with four runs that were all scored with two outs. Brady Jones and Gunnar Larson had back to back RBIs, followed by a single from Levi Goodburn to load the bases. Brad Bearden, who was three out of four from the plato, had two of his three RBIs in a bases loaded double to give Shelton the 4-1 lead. But the Timbers gave up four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning on four hits, three walks and a balk. While a RBI single from Bearden tied the game at 5-5 at the top of the sixth, Foss' Mike McCoy's RBI single gave the Tugs the go-ahead 6-5 lead. "I think they're good, but we should have beat them," Shelton Timber's Gil Ramos said. The Timbers left six runners on base, including in both the first and final inning, as well as two runners in the second inning. Bearden pitched six inning, giving up six earned runs on seven hits. He struck out five batters while walking five more. "I think he did a real solid job pitching," Ramos said. Patrick Fabrizio went four out of four at the plate, while Shelton had two hits from Curtis Wuestner, Goodburn and Larson. Colton Twiddy, Joe Strand and Jones each had one hit in the game.

But this is a sad column to write to you, the readers. After next week's issue, I will no longer be the sports editor at the Shelton-Mason County Journal. I have received a job of- fer at another publication that is located much closer to the new family that I'm starting with my fiance. This chapter that is just shy of two years has been an interesting one in my life, but it will always be a memorable one. I remember the three- day cross country drive from Illinois to the Pacific Northwest. I was excited with a little bit of nervous and a dash of pessimism. My first night in town, I was at the Shelton High School football home open- er against Mount Tahoma High School, where the Highclimbers won 40-16. I also remember sleeping on an air mattress that I didn't realize was not going to be too small until it was in- flated. In the year and nine months that followed, I went from a straight-out- of-college sports writer to writer and photographer and page designer. I met my future wile while on a day off from a late summer week of work. I have seen two publish- ers, three editors, nine re- porters land a partridge in a pear tree] at what was a revolving door, with some veterans leaving the .]our nal, new blood coming in and a fe.w that lasted less *,han a f~w months. My goal at this pubh- cation was to give Mason County the best sports coverage, like any sports- loving community deserves. Being a perfectionist, I would have weeks where I was really proud of my work and others where I wanted to throw my section in the trash. But no matter how 1 viewed the section, the feed- back from parents, coaches and athletes has been pos~. tive. I want to thank the coaches and athletic direc- tors at Shelton, North Ma- son and Mary M. Knight high schools for making it possible to produce the number of stories seen each week. Thank you to all of the readers who have continued to pick up the Journal and read the hard work that the entire staff puts in. Thank you to the news- room, advertisers, press room (for making the sec- tion look good off the press every week), graphic design and management for the opportunity, As this chapter is within the last few pages, I hope to keep in touch with as many people in Mason County as the rest of the book is writ- ten.
