Prep Fastpitch: Indians Extend Winning Streak to Three

Posted

Bethany Bowen and Haleigh Holmes combined for a no-hitter as Toledo shellacked Wahkiakum to the tune of 16-0 in three innings at home on Thursday.

“We had a good game tonight,” Toledo coach Chad Williams said. “We’re heading in the right direction.”

Bowen fanned four batters on the mound, while Brynn Williams went 2-for-3 at the plate and Abbie Marcil was 2-for-2 hitting. Candace Clark was praised for a diving catch in right field.

“Defensively, we looked really solid,” Williams said. “We ran the bases really well.”

Toledo improves to 3-0 on the season and travels to take on Adna (3-0), the defending 2B state champions, on Monday.

“We’re excited to see where we match up,” Williams said.

Rainey Fans 18

Haley Rainey mowed down 18 batters and allowed just one hit as Adna held off Toutle Lake for a 6-4 victory at home on Thursday.

“Hailey threw really well today,” Adna coach Bruce Pocklington said. “We did not play catch very well. We made a few errors; mostly throwing errors.”

The Pirates committed eight errors on the day to keep the Ducks in the game, which might be the most Adna has had since Pocklington took over as head coach, he said.

The Pirates scattered seven hits, led by Natalie Loose going 2-for-3 with an RBI, Ava Simms going 1-for-3 with a run scored and Keaton Dowell laying down an excellent drag bunt that extended an inning and led to a couple scores.

“We’ve got to get our bats going,” Pocklington said. “We had nothing hit really hard. Toutle was more aggressive at the plate and took better swings.”

Adna (3-0) hosts Toledo (3-0) on Monday in a battle of unbeatens.

Tigers Top T-Wolves

Napavine used a four-run top of the seventh to pull away from Morton-White Pass for a 9-4 win on the road Thursday.

Kailyn Milton went the distance, striking out five, walking two and allowing 10 hits. MWP’s Jaiden Linder also went all seven innings, striking out four, walking three and surrendering nine hits.

“It was kind of a rubber match,” MWP coach Derek Bowen said. 

Grace Pancake led the Tigers with 3-for-5 hitting, while Chloee Justice was 3-for-4 for the Timberwolves.

“Napavine played good ball tonight,” Bowen said. “They were just making plays. Hats off to Napavine. It was one of our better showings. We fought, it was just that one inning that sunk us.”

MWP (1-3) hosts Kalama on Monday while Napavine improves to 2-2 and travels to Wahkiakum on Thursday.

Loggers Hammer Chinooks

Hannah James struck out four with one walk and two hits as Onalaska drubbed Kalama 27-3 on the road Thursday.

Desi Smith and James led the attack offensively for the Loggers, each going 2-for-2 with three walks as Onalaska won its second straight after starting out 0-2. The Loggers drew 26 walks on the day.

“Give a shoutout to Kalama,” Onalaska coach Rich Teitzel said. “They struggled but kept their heads high.”



Teitzel was able to clear his bench and get everyone playing time, and praised the reserves for their performances. Onalaska is now on a three-game win streak, improves to 3-2 overall and hosts Winlock at 2 p.m. on Monday.

Jones Strikes Out 14

Karlie Jones fanned 14 batters while allowing seven hits and eight walks as Winlock used an eight-run fourth inning to beat Stevenson 12-8 at home Thursday.

“She killed it,” Winlock coach Lauren Dumoulin said. “She was rock solid.”

Jones was also the leader offensively, going 3-for-4 with a walk, while Tiana Bornstein, Addison Hall, Madison Romine, Natasha Patton and Raen Yarbrough each collected two hits a piece.

“We had a really good matchup,” Dumoulin said. “It gave us the opportunity to play under pressure and we never lost the lead. It was good to see the kids step up. We had a lot of contagious energy.”

Winlock improves to 2-2 and travels to Onalaska for a 2 p.m. matchup on Monday.

Titans Blast Indians

Pe Ell-Willapa Valley erupted to a total of 38 runs in six total innings during a doubleheader victory over South Bend at home on Thursday.

Titans’ ace Olivia Matlock threw an eight-strikeout one-hitter with no walks in game one to help PWV to a 15-0 shutout win. Marissa Frazier was 2-for-3 with an RBI, Matlock was 3-for-3 with two RBIs, two doubles and a triple and Annika Mason was 3-for-3 with a triple.

The Titans blasted 14 hits, committed no errors on defense and stole 10 total bases.

“Olivia had a solid game, as well as Mason,” PWV coach Ken Olson said.

In game two, Matlock fanned five batters in two innings and Lauren Emery struck out the side in the final inning as PWV romped to a 23-0 win.

Emery was 2-for-2 at the plate with three stolen bases, Ava Bush was 4-for-4 with three RBIs and three doubles and Matlock was 3-for-4 with a triple, a home run and an RBI. PWV exploded for 20 hits, including 13 extra-base hits.

“We swung the bats well,” Olson said.

PWV improves to 3-0 on the season and travels to Ilwaco on Tuesday for a doubleheader.

Vikings Move to 2-0

For the second-straight game, Mossyrock mercy-ruled an opponent in three innings, this time a 16-0 defeat of Taholah at home on Thursday.

Vikings’ pitcher Jolee Hadaller threw a five-strikeout no-hitter with two walks as Mossyrock moved to 2-0 to start the season. The Vikings were coming off a 27-0 win over Oakville last week on opening day.

“Our girls do really well running the bases,” Mossyrock coach Keith Coleman said. “They take advantage of everything and they know when to run and when not to.”

Alexandria Rueda led the Vikings at the plate, going 1-for-1 with a two-run triple in the first inning and two walks. Hailey Brooks was 1-for-2 with a double, and Gracie May West and Hadaller were each 1-for-1 with a double, respectively. The Vikings drew 13 total walks, including three hit-by-pitches.

Mossyrock will get its first real test of the season when it hosts Naselle at 4 p.m. on Friday.

“They’re supposed to be top-notch,” Coleman said. “Hopefully we’ll get more than three innings.”
