I 6U squad
finish season
second in
area
By EMILY HANSON
The Timbers' baseball
seasons for the 10U, 12U,
16U and 18U teams ended
this past week.
The 10U team, managed
by Ben Waylett, made it to
the regional tournament in
Enumclaw last weekend up
but lost out with a 1-2 re-
cord.
"The boys fought really
hard," Waylett said. "We
started off with a tough loss
Friday night to Spokane in
the bottom of the sixth 10-9.
We bounced back Saturday
morning with a win against
the West Seattle All-Stars
14-4. Then that evening we
lost in extra innings to the
Seattle Senators, the team
that went on to win it all."
Waylett said the coaches
from the Seattle Senators
told him and his team they
were the toughest team the
Senators had faced all year.
"The boys were amazing,"
he added. "They kept fight-
ing and never gave up. An
inning or two the other way
and we probably would be in
California. The team has a
lot to be proud of. We went
from a team that had a hard
time finishing to a team that
won two championships, our
end-of-season tournament
and state sectionals tourna-
ment. This team has played
a lot of baseball, we played
roughly 60 games and fin-
ished somewhere around 45 1-2 and Puterbaugh was
