Slu Lrney By EMILY HANSON endl y@ma;~oncounty.corn Last summer, the 10U Timber • team won the Mustang State Sec- tion Tournament. This summer, with no Tim- ber baseball program, the boys from the 10U team last year, now ll-year-olds, would have played in the Mason County Youth Baseball Association All- Star League. When parents dis- covered the original 10U team would be split into different teams, they worked with manag- er Ben Waylett to form the l lU Shelton Sluggers. The Shelton Sluggers are near- ly the same team as last year's 10U Timbers, though there are a couple of new players this sum- mer, Waylett said. With this new team, Waylett managed the boys to a third-place finishat the seventh annual Pete Ross Silverdale Tournament on Sunday. The tournament began on Fri- day when the Shelton Sluggers defeated the Silverdale Sluggers, 13-5. Ty Smotherman started the game on the mound, Austin Ramsfield came in for the second inning, Easton Waylett pitched the next two innings and Miles Davidson finished the game out for the Shelton squad. "They batted excellently in this game," manager Waylett said. Max Johnson was the leading batter, going 3-3 with two singles and one double. The Sluggers played two games on Saturday. In the team's first gan/e, it lost 7-6 to Vashon. "Defense and pitching were good, but we didn't hit at all," Waylett said. Max pitched three innings while Easton pitched two in- nings and Ty pitched the final inning. Caeleb Hitsman went 2-3 with two singles. The Sluggers bounced back from the loss to beat the Rene- gades 8-3. Ty pitched three innings, Aus- tin pitched two and Miles pitched one inning. Max went 2-3 with a double and a single. "They played great," Waylett said. "This was probably our best game. This team won the tourna- ment and we were their only loss." The victory over the Rene- gades sent the Sluggers into the final day of the tournament as the No. 1 seed. On Sunday morning, the Slug- gers lost 6-2 to the Port Angeles Pirates. "(Defensively) and pitching, "Whenever we hit the baI[o we can wmno" we played great but we had one bad inning and didn't hit," Way- lett said. "Whenever we hit the ball, we can win." Miles started on the mound and remained for three innings before Austin came in as relief for the final three innings. Casey Badillo-Brown went 2-2 with two singles and two RBI. The Sluggers won their final game 10-7 against the Silverdale Sluggers, securing their third- place finish. Max pitched for three innings while Casey pitched the final three innings. Eastop was the lead batter with a two-run home run and one single. "I think they played well.by not giving up, even though they could've done better," Way- lett said. "We allowed the least amount of runs the whole tour- nament. That shows the pitching and defense are there, we just have to consistently hit." This was the second tourna- ment for the Shelton Sluggers this summer. The team's final tournament is in Steilacoom. Vermillion Continued from page C-1 is available for purchase. The book is also available through authorhouse.com, amazon.corn, google.com and Barnes & Noble. Vermillion said he did not en- joy the publishing process. "It was difficult and time-con- suming," he said. "The company outsources a lot of what it does and most of the people I dealt with were in the Philippines. It was hard work," Vermillion, who retired from teaching and coaching to Union in the early 2000s, coached in Shelton at Irene S. Reed High School from 1958 to 1962 as his second coaching job after gradu- ating from Gonzaga. In Shel- ton, he was the head basketball coach, an assistant track coach and he taught junior English and American literature, though in his second year with the school, Vermillion stopped teaching ju- nior English. In chapter six, Vermillion writes about his four years in Shelton, during which his three youngest children were born. "Nonetheless, working at Shel- ton was a positive, elevating ex- perience," Vermillion wrote on page 110. "I learned much, and now that I am back here living on Hood Canal fifty years later, it is a pleasure to realize that the people I coached and had in class are still my friends. We live in a real hometown atmosphere with lots of memories." Vermillion said that, though he and his family left Shelton in 1962 for a coaching job at St. Martin's College in Lacey, the city has always been their "home away from home." "We always came back here and we retired here," he said. "We got involved with the oyster business as a part-time job, but it turned out to permanent." In 2010, Vermillion sold Admi- ralty Seafood, which had acquired 165 beaches under lease during a 10-year period. Vermillion said that he is proud of his memoirs. "I think it turned out well be- cause it's getting great reviews," he said. "I belong to the Tacoma Athletic Association where some individuals have received it well and the Basketball Old Timers, where it was also well received." He said that the most difficult part of writing his memoirs was dealing with the publishing com- pany. "The writing just flowed for me," Vermillion said. "I taught literature, so I've always been in 'story mode.' That was the fun part, telling stories."

First published Jan. 10, the book is av0ilable through AuthorHouse, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Google. The fishing adventures in chapter 11 are Vermillion's favor- ite stories to tell, he said. "It was very exciting with a I lot of,close calls on the ocean," he I said. There, were a lot of adrena- line rushes.

Rothrock said there will be a tournament central with at least one vendor and tournament staff on hand to answer questions. From this central location, a few of the holes are visible and it's pos- sible to watch the players in action. Rothrock said the MCD- GA has received donations and sponsorships from many businesses in Shelton and Mason County to not only build the course but to sup- port this tournament. "As an association, we are really grateful and thankful for the support we've gotten," he said. Rothrock said the Disc Golf Course Review has rated the Shelton Springs Disc Golf Course as the No. 1 public course in Washington state.
