WILDER JR.: Juniors win four straight against Elma, Montesano

ELMA — Wilder Junior swept four games this weekend, and the juniors did it in a variety of ways — through outstanding pitching in one game and explosive offense in another and coming from way behind in two other games.

The juniors beat Elma on Saturday by the incredible score of 27-2 and beat them again in a more conventional score of 8-4. On Sunday, they beat Monte Summer 17U 11-7 and then in their late game, they scored five runs in the sixth inning to come from behind to win 9-7.

In the late Monte Summer game, Kaleb Ripley had the big blow in the second inning with a two-run double to drive in two runners. Ripley had two doubles in the game. Tate Gahimer then came in on a wild pitch and Jacob Felton hit a sacrifice fly for two more runs.
