Soccer assessment/cleat swap

SEQUIM — Sequim Junior Soccer will host the first day of a two-day skills assessment and soccer cleat swap from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Albert Haller Playfields at Carrie Blake Park.

The skill assessment is for players registered for U8-U15 competition. All players in those age groups are asked to attend one of the sessions to help league organizers divide the teams. These are not tryouts, but a way to evaluate the skills of each player.

Players with used cleats in good condition also can bring them to exchange for a bigger size. Shoes should be cleaned and ready for the next player.

A second skill assessment and cleat swap event is set for Wednesday, Aug. 7 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Albert Haller Playfields.

Lefties top Dudes

PORT ANGELES — No. 9 hitter Alex Garcia went deep, leading off the bottom of the eighth inning with a solo home run as Port Angeles earned a 5-2 nonleague win over the Redmond Dudes at Civic Field on Wednesday.

Garcia’s homer broke a 2-2 tie and was the start of a three-run inning for the Lefties.

An Ethan Groff RBI double later plated Jeff Jamison and Connor Denning drove in Groff with an RBI single to give Port Angeles some breathing room in the ninth inning.

Jonny Chavez walked a runner and allowed a hit to bring the tying run to the plate with one out in the final frame, but he stranded those runners and earned the save.

Port Angeles wraps the nonleague series with the Dudes tonight at 6:35 p.m. at Civic Field.
