Girls Golf Port Angeles 84, Port Townsend 32
PORT ANGELES — The Redskins had the match medalist but took the Olympic League loss because they had only two players in the competition at Peninsula Golf Club on Wednesday.
Jenny Grauberger is starting the season on a tear by earning medalist honors for both of her first two matches this season.
Grauberger scored 24 Stableford points for nine holes, just nosing out Tracie DuPuis and Lauren Coventon of Port Angeles with 22 points each to tie for second place.
That was Coventon’s best score of the year.
Ev Grier claimed fourth place with 17 points for the Riders while teammate Madison Baumann had 15 points for her best match of the year.
Analis Pena of Port Angeles and Alexa Russell of Port Townsend tied with eight points apiece.
“Those were pretty good scores for as bad as the playing conditions were,” Port Angeles coach Mike DuPuis said.
“It was really wet and really muddy. We’re looking for balls in very bad conditions.”
At least it did not rain during the match but it was cold, Mike DuPuis added.
The Riders, 2-1 in the Olympic League and 2-2 overall, next have a tentative match April 14 with Klahowya.
but DuPuis is trying to change the date because the golf course is busy that day with other events.
The next time the Riders do play they will have standout golfer Emily Cook, who should be at full strength after knee surgery during basketball season.
“This will be her first match after blowing out her knee,” DuPuis said.

CHIMACUM — It took only five innings for the Cowboys to dominate Eatonville in a nonleague game Wednesday but Chimacum could have used more work.
This was the first game the Cowboys have played since March 22.
Chimacum, 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Nisqually League, plays in a makeup game today at Tacoma Community College against Cascade Christian.
Several players knocked the stuffing out of the ball for the Cowboys including Devin Manix, who went 4-for-4 with two RBIs and Austin McConnell, who was a perfect 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs.
Landon Cray went 3-for-4 with five RBIs and Egan Cornachione was 2-for-3 with an RBI.
Quinn Eldridge (1-0) started the game on the mound, going three innings and giving up just one hit. Joe Modispacher pitched the fourth, giving up a hit, while ace Cray threw the final inning with no hits.
“We wanted to get Landon out there and get ready for [today’s] game,” coach Loren Bishop said.

Sequim 6, Klahowya 5
SEQUIM — Alex Gillis did his Mighty Mouse impression in carrying the Wolves to a Class 2A Olympic League win Wednesday.
The 5-foot-7 senior did everything but don a cape for the Wolves (3-1 in league, 4-3 overall), getting it done on the mound, in the field and with the bat.
Gillis struck out 15 batters in six-plus innings pitched, then, when put in center field in the seventh, made a spectacular diving catch to make sure it held up for the win.
He was also 3-for-3 at the plate with his first career home run, two RBIs and three runs scored.
“He put on a show,” Sequim coach Dave Ditlefsen said. “It was a little bit of a slow start of the year for him, so it’s nice to see him start to get his season going.
“[The catch] was probably the best catch I’ve seen in high school baseball. It was in left center gap, and he dove parallel to the ground and caught it at the full extension.”
Teammate Drew Rickerson was 2-for-2 on the day, with a double, RBI and a walk, while Isaac Yamamoto was 1-for-2 with a triple, two RBIs and one run.
Jeremie Oliver earned his first save after coming on in relief of Gillis with one man on and no outs in the top of the seventh.
After a walk and the diving grab from Gillis, Oliver allowed a singled that put the game at 6-5.
Oliver responded immediately, however, getting the very next batter to ground into a double play to seal the game.
Sequim will play at 3A North Kitsap next Tuesday.

Olympic 5, Port Townsend 2
PORT TOWNSEND — Another quality start from Ryan Unbedacht wasn’t enough to save the Redskins in Tuesday’s Olympic League game.
Port Townsend’s 5-foot-7 right-hander held his own against the 3A Trojans (3-1 in league), giving up five runs and six hits in seven innings pitched.
Yet the Redskins lineup couldn’t do enough damage against Olympic pitchers Riley Crow (five innings) and Joe Stevick (two innings) to make it stand.
“We were competitive,” Port Townsend coach Tom Webster said. “I’m proud of our guys. If we play that good against some other teams, maybe we can win a game.”
Eric Thomas and Devon Courtney each had sacrifice flies to drive in Port Townsend’s two runs.
The complete game was Unbedacht’s second in a losing effort this year.
“He’s not the biggest guy out there but he pitches pretty well,” Webster said. “We need that.”
Port Townsend (0-4 in league, 0-5 overall) hosts Port Angeles next Monday in its next Olympic League contest.

PORT ANGELES — It took half an inning for the Riders (3-1 in league) to put away the Redskins in Thursday afternoon’s 15-run mercy rule affair.
Port Angeles scored 12 runs on nine hits, highlighted by a three-run home run from Danielle Grall, before an out was even recorded in the top of the first.
That was more than enough with Rider hurler Amanda Wasnock (six strikeouts in three innings) in rare form on the mound.

Lacrosse Olympic Peninsula 7, South Kitsap 2
PORT ANGELES — The Olympic Peninsula Mountaineers won their home opener against the Wolves on a very wet and soggy Agnew Field on Tuesday.
Before the game, the Mountaineers dedicated it in the memory of Nick Wright, the Olympic player who died two weeks before the season started of a heart attack.
Richard Olmstead scored two goals in the first half to lead the Mountaineers to a 4-1 halftime lead. O’Rion Jones and Jacob Dostie had the other two goals.
Dostie scored a second goal in the second half while Albert Barnier and Keegan Gallagher also had second-half goals.
Goalkeeper Julian Walls had a career day with 21 saves out of 23 shots by the Wolves.
“Julian has had a great season so far, and I couldn’t be more proud of him,” coach Dave Farrington said.
“He works hard in practice and always wants to get better.”
Walls and Bridgett LeBer were named players of the game.
“Bridgett had the best game I had ever seen her play,” Farrington said.
When the game was over, both teams met in the center of the field while South Kitsap coach Mike Keil presented Farrington with the game ball with Nick Wright’s initials on it.
Both teams then joined for a group hug.
