Kamy Dacus had another big two-way game and W.F. West had no trouble with Tumwater on Wednesday.
The 9-1 Evergreen 2A Conference softball victory at Recreation Park improved the Bearcats’ record to 10-0.
Dacus was dominant in the circle, striking out 13 and allowing just three hits and a single earned run with a pair of walks. That run came on Scout Abbott’s solo homer to lead off the seventh inning; Dacus struck out the next three batters, on 11 pitches, to end the game.
At the plate, meanwhile, Dacus went 3-for-4 with three doubles and three RBI.
“Kamy comes in day in and day out,” W.F. West coach Caty Lieseke said. “We played a tight game behind her.”
The Bearcats took a 2-0 lead in the second inning, thanks to an RBI triple from Brielle Etter and an RBI double from Dacus. Breanna Crosby knocked in a huge run with a single in the fourth, and an error and back-to-back-to-back doubles from Dacus, Brindle and Savannah Hawkins helped plate three runs in the fifth frame.
Etter went 2-for-4 with an RBI, Hawkins was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and Brindle drove in two runs.
“It felt like every player in the lineup contributed today,” Lieseke said. “I love seeing the kids be a part of rallies and runs.”
The Bearcats play at Aberdeen on Friday.

“We’re starting to click,” Centralia coach David Orr said. “They’re chipping away. It was good to see. Saw a lot of great things tonight that we can build on.”
Mikayla Chavez tripled and drove in two runs for Centralia, while Lauren Wasson added two RBI. Gracie Shofield doubled and knocked in a run and Liliana Babka was 1 for 2 with an RBI.
