ONALASKA — The Loggers picked up a bit of playoff momentum here Tuesday, beating Toutle Lake 4-3 in a Central 2B League softball game.
With the game tied at 3-3 in the bottom of the seventh inning Onalaska put two runners on base with a pair of bunts, then moved the runners over on a passed ball. Alicia Vint walked to load the bases, and Adalee Sabin hit a line-drive single to center field to score the walk-off run.
“Adalee Sabin came up clutch, getting the run in,” Logger coach Ken Ulery said.
Vint went 2 for 2 with a triple. Haylie Howard was 2 for 3 with a pair of doubles, and Sandra Leal and Ashley Pannkuk were both 2 for 3.
Amy Henderson pitched all seven innings for the Loggers, holding Toutle Lake to six hits. Two errors in the first inning helped the Ducks plate their first run.
“She settled down,” Ulery said. “The first inning wasn’t her fault. … It seemed like she was getting stronger as the game went on.”
The win does nothing for the Loggers’ playoff situation; Onalaska wrapped the season at 11-7 overall and 11-5 in league play for a fifth-place finish. The loss, though, puts Toutle Lake in a tie for third with Adna at 12-4 in league play, though as Adna beat the Ducks in their one matchup this season Adna will be the No. 3 seed from the C2BL into the District 4 2B Softball Tournament, which begins Monday at Fort Borst Park.
Onalaska will play the Pacific 2B League No. 4 seed at 6 p.m., and Adna plays Kalama, the Central No. 8, at 6 p.m. on Monday in Centralia.
Pirates Win Wild Nonleaguer With Hoquiam
HOQUIAM — Adna tallied 19 hits and got a home run from Kooper Mohney here Tuesday to win a 19-17 non-league softball slugfest with Hoquiam.
The Pirates scored six in the fifth inning and led 17-10 after six frames, only to see Hoquiam tie things with seven in the sixth. Adna, though, got an RBI single from Jenikka Poppe to regain the lead and an insurance run on an error in the top of the seventh, and Kiyah Kennedy retired the Grizzlies on three straight fly balls in the bottom of the seventh to end the game.
Poppe went 4 for 6 at the plate and Emma Eko was 3 for 6 with a double and an RBI for Adna.
Mohney hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning, Olivia Rodriguez went 3 for 4 with an RBI, and Kennedy was 1 for 3 and drove in two runs.
Haley Rainey went 2 for 5 with an RBI and Skye Snow was 2 for 2 with an RBI. Ten different Pirates recorded hits in the win.
ReyLynn Dunn hit a three-run homer for Hoquiam.
Rainey started on the mound and worked into the fourth inning, striking out three and giving up 10 runs — just two of which were earned. Adna committed seven of the game’s 13 errors.
Adna (15-4) closes out the regular season on Saturday with a road game at defending State 1A champion Montesano.
