Boys Soccer

Klahowya 3, Sequim 1

SILVERDALE — Going up against the best team in the Olympic League 1A Division, the Sequim soccer boys lost 3-1 on the road to Klahowya.

Though Klahowya is a 1A school, the Eagles are 4-0 in league and 7-2-1 overall that has outscored its opponents 33-6 this season. Despite the loss, coach Dave Brasher thought the Wolves played well and that Klahowya is simply a very good team.

The game was played in gusting winds. Sequim scored its goal in the 52nd minute to tie the game 1-1. Hayuk Minano tallied the goal with Liam Harris picking up an assist. The Eagles scored a go-ahead goal in the 70th minute and the Wolves were not able to recover.

“That took the wind out of our sails, though the wind was still in our sails,” said coach Dave Brasher. The Eagles added an insurance goal in the final minutes of the match.

Brasher named Minano as the player of the game for Sequim.

The loss doesn’t hurt the Wolves in league. Sequim (5-2-0, 15 points, 6-3-2 overall) next plays at North Mason (2-6, 2-6-2) at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, with a chance to move into a tie for second in the Olympic League 2A Division.

Baseball

Chimacum 8, Forks 7

CHIMACUM — In a nonleague game that saw the Cowboys and Spartans commit a combined 11 errors, Chimacum picked up a walk-off win in the bottom of the seventh when Henry Brebberman came home via an error committed in the Forks infield.

The Cowboys overcame the Spartans’ four-run first inning, highlighted by RBI singles by Carson Ness and Trey Baysinger, rallying from an eventual 6-2 deficit.

A 3-run sixth inning was key for Chimacum.

Kolby Eldridge walked, Jonah Diehl reached on an error and Issac Purser brought home Eldridge with an infield single. Diehl stole home to tie the game at 6-all, and Carson McConnell reached on a dropped third strike and eventually scored on an error after stealing third base.

Reece Blattner tied the game at 7-all for Forks in the top of the seventh with a line drive to center field, but the Spartans couldn’t add any more offense or keep the Cowboys down in their final at-bats to pull out the win.

Chimacum (3-0, 5-5) won all three games it played last week. The Cowboys host Klahowya on Wednesday.

Forks (0-4, 0-8) will host Hoquiam on Monday.
