PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles softball team is looking for a game.
After yet another 10-run mercy-rule debacle Wednesday, the Roughriders are still searching.
Port Angeles bashed 11 hits and scored runs in all five innings of play as it dropped short-handed Olympic 11-1 in Olympic League action at Dry Creek Elementary School.
The Riders (10-1 in league and overall) cruised against a Trojans team that was forced to play with eight players for the final two innings because of injuries and eligibility issues.
“It’s just too bad that we can’t get better competition,” said Riders coach Buddy Bear, whose team’s lone loss came to unbeaten Sequim 10-6 last week.
“Everybody suffers one way or another [with games like Wednesday’s], but we just try to stay on top of things and do what we can.
“I just don’t like complacency.”
Stacy Webb came within an inning of a shutout, giving up the lone Trojan run after a single and an error in the fifth.
Outside of that, the Rider right-hander was nearly untouchable, limiting Olympic to four hits and no walks while striking out five in five innings.
Port Angeles shortstop Mariah Frazier scored four runs, going 1-or-2 at the plate with two walks.
Teammates Kelsey Hinsdale and Katie Loghry were each 2-for-3, while Hannah Wahto went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBIs.
Port Angeles will host Kingston on Friday in another Olympic League tilt.

Olympic 4, Port Angeles 3
PORT ANGELES — A day after scoring a dramatic extra-inning victory over North Kitsap, the Riders came up just short against the Trojans.
Olympic scored four runs off starter Cody Sullivan in the first two innings and held on from there to win Wednesday’s Olympic League tilt.
The loss marked the fourth time this season Port Angeles (6-5 in league and overall) lost a game by two runs or less.
That includes a 1-0 loss to the very same Olympic Trojans earlier this season.
“We had our chances,” Port Angeles head coach Bob Withrow said.
Washington State signee Ryan Skoubo held the Riders to three runs in six innings of work.
One of those came on a solo home run from Port Angeles’ Daniel Pitz in the fifth inning to put the score at 4-3.
But that was all the Riders would manage the rest of the game.
Port Angeles hosts first-place Kingston on Friday in another pivotal Olympic League game.

Unfortunately for the Redskins, two of those were smacked out of the ballpark for home runs by three-time all-league player Kasey Bielec.
That, along with five Redskins errors, kept Port Townsend out of the win column once again.
Robert Ristick drove in the only Port Townsend (0-10, 0-11) run on a single in the fifth inning, and Zac Olson added two hits.
