Warriors dispatch Panthers to advance to quarterfinals
The Rochester baseball team had little trouble in the pigtail game of the 2A District 4 Tournament on Saturday, as the Warriors dominated Washougal to the tune of a 14-3 five-inning victory. “I liked our focus and intensity from the get-go,” Rochester coach Brad Quarnstrom said. “They didn’t have that nervous feel at all, and it showed.” The Warriors (12-8) drew five walks in the opening frame and brought home two runs, and they drew two more walks to get two on in the top of the second. Tate Quarnstrom brought home one on an RBI double, Hayden Pietras drove another in on a sac fly, and Kole Smith doubled to make it a 5-0 game. The Panthers were able to score in the next two innings, but Rochester matched with three of their own and broke the game open with six in the fifth. Henry Gramelspacher went the first three innings on the bump, and Mason Ubias sealed the deal by tossing two shutout innings out of the pen. Eight different Warriors recorded a hit, and seven drove in at least one run. Ethan Rodriguez, Quarnstrom, and Smith each collected two hits. The Warriors continued to draw walks throughout the rest of the game as well, reaching first on a free pass 11 times. “We hit the ball extremely well today throughout the lineup,” Quarnstrom said. “Hopefully it gives our guys some confidence going into next week and we can keep things rolling.” The Warriors are through to the double-elimination part of the district tournament, and they’ll head to Ridgefield for a quarterfinal on Tuesday. |

W.F. West settles in, tops Hudson's Bay in district quarterfinal
In many playoff games, regardless of the sport, the first phase of the game serves as a feeling-out process. That was true in Chehalis on Saturday, where W.F. West and Hudson’s Bay exchanged possession in the middle third without generating any scoring chances. About 20 minutes in, the Bearcats started to be more aggressive offensively, and they even put a few shots on target before the halftime whistle. “That first 15 was about getting our feet underneath us,” W.F. West coach Allen Anderson said. “Forgetting about the nerves and that we have a job at hand to take care of.” That aggression carried over into the second half, where a pair of goals lifted the Bearcats to a 2-0 win, one that puts them in the district semifinal and one win away from the state tournament. “It was a lot of fun,” senior Jeremy Thompson said. “We were a bit nervous, but we locked in.” Anderson and Thompson admitted that there were naturally some nerves leading up to the game, which was a factor in the early stages of the game. Anderson was confident that the boys would find their footing, though, noting that though they were coming off a loss, they had also just strung together “three best days of practice they’ve had all season.” Moises Sanchez-Hernandez recorded the first shot on goal in the 25th minute, and from there on out, it was all Bearcats. The breakthrough came in the 50th minute. Israel Lopez Cruz was racing a defender to a loose ball in the box, and he was shoved down from the side. The referee awarded a penalty kick, which Gage Grisham promptly hit in off the left post to open the scoring. “Definitely cut it close, but it went in,” Grisham said. “Putting confidence in myself was the biggest part. If you don’t think you’re gonna make it, you’re probably not gonna make it.” Thompson scored the second W.F. West goal, beating a defender down the left side and slotting it past the keeper to double the Bearcat advantage with less than 10 minutes remaining. It took Thompson’s teammates a few extra seconds to catch up to him to celebrate, as he sprinted towards the W.F. West bench on the other side of the field. “I was just excited,” Thompson said with a smile. “I just kept running.” Those two goals were more than enough for the Bearcats, who didn’t allow much pressure in their defensive half throughout the entirety of the game. It’s the eighth time that the Bearcats have shut out their opponent this season, tying a school record. “I’m really pleased with our defense,” Anderson said. “It’s just another thing that this team has been able to accomplish this year.” W.F. West is now just one win away from another accomplishment, as a win in the district semifinal would put them in the state tournament for the second time in the last three seasons. The Bearcats will host or R.A. Long on Tuesday. “It will be nice not to have to travel,” Anderson said. “I think they’re locked in and motivated. I’m excited to see what they can bring.” |
