Jacobs Insurance eliminated the Merchants 6-2 on Saturday. Mike Nutt had a solo homer and Samplawski scored on a fielder's choice for the Merchants' only runs. Jacobs Insurance had eliminated two Shelton teams after suffering an opening round loss. They had been shut out by, you guessed it, Shelton's other entry, Jess' Mets. After going scoreless for four innings, the Mets came up with four in the fifth and two more in the sixth for the win. With bases loaded, Bill Nutt singled home two. Steve DeMiero sacrificed home another run. Consecutive hits by Scott Swisher, Jon Armstrong and Willy Hill added the final two runs. Bill Nutt pitched a four-hitter in picking up the win. Oasis Tavern, 1973 runner-up, was the next team sent into the loser's bracket by Jess', 3-0. The Castle Rock team had also won the OK Roofer/Fir Cone Tavern Invitational earlier this year. Jess' scored three runs on eight hits while Bill Nutt threw a one-hitter for his second win. The Mets scored all of their runs in the first inning. In that stanza, Joe Earl, Rob Mills, Lynn Spilseth and Willy Hill had singles, while Scott Swisher ripped a ground rule double for the three runs. Against Smokey's Pizza of Vancouver, the Mets scored nine runs on 16 hits for a 9-2 victory. Nutt gave up just five hits and no earned runs. Swisher hit an inside-the-park homer with one on to start the rout in the first inning. In the second, Mike Clary led off with a homer. Three innings later, the Mets sent 11 batters to the plate as they scored six runs on five hits. Swisher doubled with bases loaded for two runs. A throwing error let in two more runs. Hill doubled and advanced Clary to third. Nutt sacrificed in Clary and Ferd Carniero singled home Hill to finish the scoring. Now Little Joe's of Yakima and the Mets of Shelton were the only undefeated teams left after the 6 p.m. games. They had to play each other at 8 p.m. An unusual event for winner's brackets of any tournament, let alone a state tourney. It didn't seem to bother the Mets, though, as they came up with a 9-3 victory. Jim Richards pitched the first three innings and got credit for the win. With the Mets ahead 2-0 on Hill's two-run double in the third, Nutt came on to pitch four innings of relief. The Mets lead by only 5-3 after six innings, but four runs in the seventh dumped Little Joe's. Hits by Earl, Mills and Fredson had scored one run. Scott Swisher was given an intentional walk to load the bases. Then Jon Armstrong picked up an easy RBI by walking in Mills. Hill got two more RBI's with a single. Oasis Tavern, whose only loss was to the Mets, eliminated Wenatchee Olys 4-0, Smokey's 5-0 and Little Joe's 6-I on Sunday to earn a rematch with Jess'. It didn't do them any good, because Nutt pitched a no-hitter. Two errors ruined his bid for a perfect game. He struck out the side in the fifth to help his own cause. Swisher's triple in the third scored three runs; Nutt doubled home Clary in the fourth; and an RBI single by Armstrong in the fifth accounted for all of Jess' runs. Armstrong went four for six with four RBI's in his substitute role in the tournament. Named to the all-state team were Scott Swisher, Rob Mills, Mike Clary and super pickup from Lemon's, catcher Willy Hill. ~!~!~i~!~ ~ ....... ~.~,~ '~h.~ :.~,,~, ,,.. ,,, "~%:~i~, ~:,~~ , THIS MAN IS AMAZING.
