  Speaker 2: I got kicked out totally forgot to wear pants again. Man,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I'm getting bad at that. I did remember pants at
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: other places, but I forgot this on this busy Thursday,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: so I was not able to get a picture there.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I did run out to shuckson really quickly took a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: picture kind of from the clubhouse down below. There was
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: some golfers playing, so I was able to get a
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: picture there before I headed out to a baseball game

• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the win. I should say with thirty eight shot a
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: thirty eight and nine holes, that is incredible. I don't
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: think I've done that in putt putt golf. That was
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: really that's really getting the job done. Cali Tan of
• 3:39

• 3:57
  Speaker 2: With girls golf in early in the year, they always
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: play nine holes to kind of get things going, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: then they will go to eighteen after a few weeks.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Hopefully the weather will change up a little bit and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: make it for a little easier golf out there, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, it'll be fun. And I will remember to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: wear pants at the private courses. I do my darnedest.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: We head over to boys golf now and there was
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a few different events out On Monday afternoon, I went
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: out to North Bellingham golf Course where there was just
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: four schools playing there shortened it. They shortened it to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: nine holes due to a weather and it was kind
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of a scrimmage anyways. For Ferndale one with the score
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of two thirteen, Meridian shot to twenty one See Home
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: two twenty five and Mount Baker two fifty. Your winner

  Speaker 2: three way tie for fourth place with Jackson and Neva Seahome,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Cameron Fiara of Ferndale and Gavin Enabel of Ferndale all
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: shot of forty one, Peyton Abdia of Mount Bakers shout
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: of forty two, Cayden Kirk of Seaholme forty three, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: then tied for ninth place was Al Miller of Seaholme,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Cole Bossek of Ferndale and Ryker Hablind of Meridian all
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: shot a forty five. And then later on in the week,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: on that Thursday as well, there was a couple. There
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: was one match. It was out at Scadget Valley Golfing
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: country Club. I've never been out there before, so I
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: was not able to get a picture there. And that
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: was dominated by Burlington Anacortis and then Oak Harbor. Seaholme
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: took fourth place, Bellingham fifth, Squalalcum took seventh place. The
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: highest score for Walkham County was tied for eighth place
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: with Shay Campbell of Bellingham who shot in eighty three.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: That's in eighteen holes. There. Keep in mind Avery Wiener
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: of Squalkum shot in eighty five, Sawyer Woods of Seahome
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and Hunter Callaway of Squalcum each shot in eighty six.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And that is your update for girls and boys golf.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: We're going to try to get through these the best
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: we can with a lot of sports to cover. And
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: now we're going to go to girls tennis, where when
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you know, out of all the sports when there's rain,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: that's the one that gets canceled the easiest because you
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: don't want you can't really have any rain on the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: court at all. So there was only one match that
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: took place with Walkin County and it didn't even take
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: place in Walking County. They had to play it down
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: down at Mount Vernon where Mount Vernon defeated Ferndale six
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to one, and that was the only batch and they
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: kind of had to shorten it. It was whoever it was to,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: whoever had eight games won first and the only winner
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: there because it was six to one Mount Vernon. The
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: only Ferndale winner was the number three doubles team of
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Remont br and Kayla Washington who won eight to six
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: over Sarah Stewart and Diana Herrera Garcia of Mount Vernon.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: So not a lot of tennis so far, and you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of these early matches, a lot
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: of them were non conference stuff like that, but the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: teams down south got to play a little bit. The
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: rain wasn't as bad down in the Scadgets and Homas County,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: but up here it was pretty bad all week. So
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of tennis getting canceled and we'll see if
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: they can make that up coming up in the next
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: few weeks. So not a lot of tennis to talk
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: about yet, will dive away and more into that next
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: week if there's less rain outs and stuff like that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So we'll jump to track and field and just like
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that track and field sponsored by They're back again Staffer Insurance.

• 18:20
  Speaker 2: much to North County Alliance FC. We're gonna start off
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: by looking at the standings and this is just overall standings.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: This is not you know, including conference and non conference
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But when you look at that,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: squalk them right now undefeated, four wins, zero losses. Seahome
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: right now four wins, zero losses, but they do have
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: a tie. Linden Christian is three and two, Lyndon two
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: to one and one, Ferndale two to two and one,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Meridian two to one and two, Bellingham two to two
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: and one, and then Mount Baker, Nuksack Valley and Blaine
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: are all zero to four to start off the season.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: And uh, yeah, I mean it's it's uh, it's going fast.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there's been a few games canceled
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: because of weather, mostly because of the field. There's been
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: games that have been moved a little bit to other
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: other fields to be played on, like a turf field
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So a lot of games are
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: getting in. But right now, when you look at it,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: squalicum of looking the most dominant Sea Home always very
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: very good, but they were hit hard by by graduation.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: And when you look at the one a's, Lendy Christian
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Meridian are kind of duking it out to be who's
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: gonna be that top one A school. It's gonna be.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be pretty exciting to see when they play
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: each other. And yeah, I just I think it's gonna be.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be great. I think Linden has
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: a real chance to be a team up top in
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the two ways as well. It'll be fun once we
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: get to district tournament and even just mid and mid
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: and later on in the season, that'll be that'll be
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: pretty pretty cool. Let's take a look at the games
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: that were played on Monday. Meridian defeated Ferndale two to one.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: That was that was a that was a pretty good game.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: That was at the beginning of that when Eli Hayes
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: had a penalty kick to give them a one zero lead.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: The Trojans, that is, and Adrian Mesa He had a
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: header off a corner kick to give Meridian a two
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: zero lead. Evan Saxman of Ferndale scores in the final
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: minutes to make it two to one, but that would
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: be that. Bellingham tied with Sidraw Woolley on a couple
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: of goals there, Oliver Oaks and Chris Armenta scored. Mount
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Vernon defeated Lynda Christian four to two. It seemed a
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: lot closer than that. That was on the road and
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Okarb defeated Nooksack Valley five to one. Lakewood blanked Blaine
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: five to zero. On Wednesday, Lindon Christian beat Bellingham one
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: zero and uh The lone goal came from Harvest Howe
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: on a penalty kick that was early on in the game.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: By the time I got there, it was already won
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: zero and that was the final score, so I didn't
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: get to catch any of the goals while I was
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: there taking pictures. Squaled them defeated Blaine eight zero. Jaden
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Back had four assists. Freshman cool Oswalt scored a pair
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: of goals, and then other goals came from Isaac Grimes, Maddick, Strickland,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Nico girodro Grotto, Reis Ryland, Jenkins, Crew Johnson, and Eli Wiener.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: So a lot of guys getting involved for the storm
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: see Him defeated Burlington Edison three to one. That was
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: a fun one to watch. Their Ferndale beat Mount Baker
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: nine to one. Usually Mount Baker when they played the
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: bigger schools, they take a forfeit and they play against
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: the bigger schools JV squad, But with games getting moved
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: around in different times, the Ferndale's JV squad was already
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: set up to play Fellingham, so the varsity played Mount Baker,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: but they rested a lot of their key players after
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes and the game is called early as well. Well,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Meridian and Linden tied at three to three. Some weird
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: things happening in that game. There was a mistake goal
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: that counted against Linden, but they ended up tying that
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: one three to three. That I wish I could have
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: gone to that one. That sounded like it was a
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: pretty good one to two good teams that have high
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: aspirations in the playoffs. The next games those were on Friday,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Linden defeated knukxack Valley nine zero. I was at that
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: one for a little bit, a lot of go at,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of goals early for the Lions, kind of
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: a get right game after that tie to Meridian. Lindon
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Christian wins two zero over Blaine. That was a good
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: revenge game for them as Blaine ended their season last year.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: On that same field, Meridian defeated Mount Baker seven to zero.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Squalk them up, up ended Burlington Edison six to one,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: and Ferndale and Seigra Woolly played to a scoreless tie.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: On Saturday. There were a few games a bit. The
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: big one was Sea home and Bellingham out at Bellingham
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: High School, where the Mariners won two to zero. A
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: couple of goals in that one by freshman Alec Langhols
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: and Chase Harrison, So see Holm, Yeah, they did graduate
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys, but they got some young talent
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: coming in and they're getting the job done. Of course,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: when you have Baine Mitchell and goal as well, that
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: really really helps your cause going forward. And yeah, you
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: might not be winning games six zero anymore, but they
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: might be in a lot more like two zero now,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: but see Holm is still winning. Meridian and Kings played
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: to a two to two tie, which was pretty promising
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: after Kings you know, knocked Meridian out for that chance
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: to get into the state tournament last year, they had
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: to play that crossover with Kings on the road, lost
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: that one. So Meridian to get a tie here against
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: the Knights not too bad. I think Meridian had a
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: pretty good week despy having two ties against two really
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: good teams. So when you look at that, yeah, I
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: mean just gonna say, when you look at that, you
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: kind of like, you see the standings are kind of
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: what I talked about earlier is Squalicum leading the way.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: They're averaging eight goals a game as well. So when
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: you look at the overall goals scored, we're gonna look
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: at the top ten here and it's actually the top
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: thirteen is we have a big tie, a lot of
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: players with three goals so far. Those players are Keenan
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Deming of Linden, Christian Skylar Rowe of Meridian, Oliver Oakes
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: of Bellingham, Sebastian Shala of Ferndale, Grayson Bayer of Ferndale,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Hule Oswalt of Squalicum and then the Linden duo of
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Nate Castellan and Haile van Dijk. So all those players
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: have three goals so far. We got three players that
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: have scored four goals. Those are Isaac Grimes of Squalicum,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Adrian Mesa of Meridian, and Marcus Kanan of Linden. Harvest
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Howell of Linden. Christian has scored five goals so far.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: He is in second place right now in Walkin County
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: and leading the way and goals scored so far the season.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Is Maddox Strickland of Squalkam who has scored nine goals.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: He has had two hat tricks so far this year
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: and Squalkum right now leading the way. I you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: somewhere around thirty two thirty three goals so far this year,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: so a great start there for the storm in. Maddick
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Strickland is leading the way in the goals scored. And
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: now it's time to look at the North County Alliance
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: FC Player of the week. You know, I'm only counting
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: this week. I'm not counting the week before. I didn't
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: do any of the awards or anything last week because
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: last week was only some of the sports were playing,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: and even the ones that were wasn't really a full
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: week for the most part, so we're jumping right in
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: as this being week one, and when I look at
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: just this week, I really like what Meridian did. They
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: did get a couple of ties, but they got a
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: couple of wins as well, so no losses this week
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: while you played four games. So I think it was
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: a really positive week for the Meridian Trojans. And I'm
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: giving the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: to Adrian Mesa. When you look at what he did
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: scoring that second goal against Ferndale and then he also
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: scored I believe he scored in that tie against Kings
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and he had a goal and an assist against Mount Baker.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I mean he had a hand in every single game
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: that was played this week, and that was that was
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: huge and Meridian had a great, great week. So Adrian
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Mezsa of Meridian is your North County Alliance FC Player
• 26:30

  Speaker 2: to help me. So let's take a look at those
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Acceleration Driving School and Linden's standings right now. And again
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: we're not looking at league standings per se. We're just
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: going by total wins and losses. Right now, the only
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: undefeated team is Nuikzack Valley. They are two and zero
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: started the season. They've only they started kind of late.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: They were the last teams to play. I believe they
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: played Friday and Saturday, back to back days at Sea
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: home at Friday. Harbor haven't played a home game yet,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: but they started two to no. Lyndon Christian one and one,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: but boy, that one loss was a close one to
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: poor Angelus who played in the two way state championship
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: game last year, so that tells you something about this year.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Is Lyndon Christian squad. Linden is two and two. They
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: have not played a league game and they have not
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: played at home yet. Blaine, Seahome and Meridian are all
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: one and one, so again, not a lot of games
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: have been played yet. There's been a lot of cancelations.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Ferndale's only played one game. They're the only team the
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: only played one game. They did lose that one that
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: was over a week ago at Stanwood. Mount Baker oh
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: and two on the season as they have a lot
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: of new players and Bellingham oh to four on the year,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: and they have they combined with some squalkam athletes and
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: still learning how to play the game. Themselves and now
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: we have a special guest on the line. How about that.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: This is fantastic. We are now joined on the Gatorade
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Game Day Podcast by Lyndon Fast Pitch coach Ryan Dykstrap coach.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Thank you for joining me today. How are you doing.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Thank you for having me. I appreciate
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the opportunity.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem, thank you. Fast Pitch is a variation
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: of baseball, So I must ask first, who's your favorite
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: baseball player of all time?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Oh? Boy, you know I used to say King Griffey
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Junior when I was younger. Yeah, obviously that's gonna be
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: everybody's first choice, but you know, there was a time when,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you know, Kyle Sieger kind of worked his way in there,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: and now recently i'd have to give it to Cal
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Ray for obvious reasons.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so definitely definitely Cal Rawley if you were to
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: ask me today.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome. Have you ever, by any chance, have
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: you ever met Kyle Seger?
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I have not. I would love to, but I have not.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I did. The only real baseball player I've ever met
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: was when I went to a Mariners game as a kid.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: My dad brought me our whole family went and I
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: was probably six or seven years old, and the Orioles
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: they were playing the Orioles, the Baltimore Orioles, and we
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: got My dad was always a huge Orioles fan, just
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: because he was a fan of the Orioles before Seattle
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: had a team, but we always went to watch the Orioles.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: He loved Brooks Robinson, loved Cal Ripken Jr. So we
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: went and watched Cal Ripken Junior play. Well, him and
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: his brother were playing catch kind of before the game,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and a ball was sitting on the warning track kind
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: of right by the old Kingdome there, right by the wall. Yeah,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and my dad let me down and I grabbed it
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and I jumped right back into the stands as a
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: little kid, and Ripken came over and he actually autographed it,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: shook my dad's hand the whole nine yards. So yeah,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: real cool story there. So that's really the only baseball
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: player I've ever met, and I wasn't really even old
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: enough to remember.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I asked that because I briefly met him at
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: spring training and he was like one of the nicest
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: people ever. I mean, he's just so Kyle Seeker was
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: so amazing but it's so funny you bring up Kyle Ripkin,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: because whenever anyone brings asked me who my favorite athlete
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: of all time is, I always say Cayl Ripkin and
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: a couple of reasons. I mean, obviously like the streak,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Like I pride myself in working hard seven days a
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: week and keep plugging along, and that's and I look
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: towards him for that. And at the same time, when
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I was about that, age six or seven, I got
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: one of these address books. If all these players is
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: address where you could send a card and they might
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: autograph and send it back. And I sent out about
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: twenty five or already all the All Star players and
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: with a handwritten letter, You're my favorite player, you know.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: And the only one I got back was Cal Ripken.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: And so that I'm not surprised at all by what
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: you just said. And that's that's so cool. Do you
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: still have the baseball?
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I still do. Yes, I still do. I've I've got
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: so my dad has kind of passed down to memorabilia
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: to me. I've got some of it kind of right
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: behind me in the glass case here you can see.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: And he also had autograph Rooks Robinson ball which is
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: in the case here behind me and stuff too. Yes,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I still have all that, still got I I don't
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: ever get rid of anything, which is probably not the greatest,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: but I do have quite a bit of stuff, you know,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: kind of in boxes in my garage. Some of it's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: on display, but my wife is kind enough to let
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: me you know, display some of it. But yeah, so yes,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I still do have the ball. I still you know,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I I don't ever throw anything away, so yeah, and
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't anyway, So.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh I love it. Last year, you went from
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: assistant coach to head coach. Other than coaching third base
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: instead of first base when your team is batting, what's
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: been the biggest difference about becoming the head coach.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the biggest difference is there's more to
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: worry about program. Why, you know, as an assistant, you know,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: you you you worry about just your your thing, you know,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: which for me under coach Bomber was first base coach,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: calling pitches for the pitchers and and that kind of stuff.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Now you know, you're you're worried about fundraising, You're worried
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: about the field and how that looks. You're worried about
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: you know every kid in the program as opposed to Okay,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I just have a varsity role right now, and and
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: all I'm really worried about is my area. Now. You know,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: you're you're focused on all areas, and that's been an
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: adjustment for me, you know, just getting all that stuff right.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: And I don't have it right all the time. I'll
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: be the first to admit that. But I want to
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: make sure that every kid that comes through our program,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: whether they play one year on C team or JV
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: or whatever, we're impacting each kid equally as best we can.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I think that's a great point you
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: say about you know, you bring up like the fundraising,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: and there's so many things that people don't think about,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: you know, like when you become a head coach. There's
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: so much more to it that's behind the scenes that
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: you know a lot of community members and parents might
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: not understand. And and so I'm glad you brought that
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: up because it's I mean, I could say it, but
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: it doesn't come much from me. But when you hear
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: a head coach say, it makes sense. Last year was
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: pretty sick sucessful season. You won the district championship game
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: in a walk off, extra ending home run by Kylie mcviee.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: We all got to see that vertical leap of yours,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: which has got to be close to forty inches. It
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: was an all time moment in the in the history
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: of Lennon fast pitched. What will you always remember about
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: that game.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Just the fact that the kids stayed in the fight.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: We had lost to Burlington, That's who we played in
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: that district championship game during the regular season, and you know,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: they have a really talented group over there at Burlington
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: and they still are very talented. The coaches do a
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: great job there, the players are very very good. So
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: going into that game, you know, we were kind of like, well,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: this could go either way. You know, we knew it
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: was going to be a tight game because, you know,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: we when we have Cali Rammerman on on our mound
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: and then they have Billings on theirs there. I mean,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: she's really really good. So we knew it wasn't going
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: to be a game where we were gonna score a
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: bunch of runs. We'd have to play good defense, We'd
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: have to you know, uh, you know, scratch around some runs.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: We knew it wasn't gonna be high scoring, but there
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: was times during that game. You know, early Burlington took
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: a lead on us and we just kind of scratched
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: back and tied it. And then an extra innings, you know,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Burlington takes another lead on us a couple of runs,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and you know, our kids just kept fighting. And you know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: that's the kind of culture and kind of thing that
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I love about our girls is that they just don't quit.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And you know that's that's not only a softball thing,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: that's a great life lesson. You just got to keep
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: plugging away and and eventually, you know, if you keep
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: plugging away, things are going to start to go your way.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: And so I was really proud of them about just
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: keeping in the fight and keep going and keep going
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: and never never say die.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was unreal. I mean, I know, I didn't
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: sleep the night before, so I was kind of in
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: a weird haze that day. But so it felt like
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: a night game, but it was light out. It was
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: a morning game. It was It was one of those
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: just surreal moments and it's something that I'll never forget.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: And you're right, there were so many moments in the
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: dugout with kids picking other kids up, don't worry about
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: that play, move on to the next play. And there
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: was there was so much fun to be had right there,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: and I was so blessed to be able to be
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: in the moment and see it up close. How many
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: sets of sisters do you have on this team?
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Well, we were joking actually this weekend we took a
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: we took a trip down south and played a couple
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: of games down there, and we were kind of actually
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: joking and maybe asking mister McKee if we could change
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: our name to the Linden Sisters instead of the Linden Lions. Yeah,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: we write now varsity wise. We have three sets of sisters.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: You have Charlotte and Lydia Sama. Yeah, we have Kylie
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: and Sarah McBee. And we also have Campbell and Casey
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: de Young. And that is an interesting dynamic when you
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: have three sets of sisters, and you know, it's a
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: fun dynamic because you know sisters, they'll fight back to back,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: you know, there they will fight for each other. There's
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: times when you know I have to I have to
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: remind them, hey, maybe play catch with somebody else today,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: you know, or something like that. You know, if if
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: maybe something happened at home that they're not seeing eye
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: to eye at that point. But it does bring a
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: real fun dynamic to our team to have so many
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: sets of sisters on our team. They just make it
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: really fun to be around. And the nice thing is
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: is big sisters look out for little sisters, So that's
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: that's always a pleasure to have as well.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, it's one of those fun things. You see
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: it here and there on teams, but I don't know
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: if I've seen three sets. I mean, I mean, you
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: might see that on like a football team where there's
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: more athletes, but fast pitch where you got fifteen kids, maybe,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, that's that's really something. Spring practice
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: started while basketball was going on at State. At any
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: point in Yakama, did you throw softballs in the dirt
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: to Charlotte? Does get her to work on some stuff
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: behind the plate?
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah? You know, that week is always an interesting week
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: for me, mostly because I you know, I'm an assistant
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: for girls basketball and we've had quite a run under
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: coach Adams. He does a great job. I've learned a
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: lot from him, so I'm doubled up that week. So
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I I do basketball practice and then I
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: would do fast pitch practice on Monday and Tuesday, and
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I actually ended up driving over Tuesday night after our
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: fast pitch practice, got to Yakama on Tuesday night, probably
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: about one o'clock in the morning. Turned around the next
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: day we had basketball practice, so we practice and then
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: we went to the Sundome to watch our next day opponent,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: which would end up being Deer Park. And then you know,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: in there, I just try to find a time in
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Yakama where I could get the girls to like a
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: batting cage or something like that, and have the kids
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: that are over there in the band or playing basketball
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: or over there as fans. We usually try to carve
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: out an hour where we go to a batting cage
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: and we hit, and I was able to do that.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Luckily the schedule works out that way. But yeah, I
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: you know, Charlotte, Charlotte was a big part of what
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: we did in basketball and a big part of what
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: we do in softball. And you know, she's she's she's
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: making the leap to be our starting catcher this year
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: and she's she's done great. I mean, I couldn't ask
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: anything more from her. It's it's a tough position to play,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: but yeah, we we definitely had some uh some some
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: catching her up, you know after state basketball was over,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: and she's done great.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I mean she goes right into it
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: from volleyball to basketball to fast pitch, no no breaks,
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: and and it's pretty amazing. And I that was one
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: of the question marks I had coming into the season
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: was who was going to be the starting catcher because
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: it's it is such an important position, especially in fast pitch.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: And like you said, she's been she's been doing a
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: good job and and and just a sophomore, I believe.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Correct, yes, sir, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's great to
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: have as well.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit more about this
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: year's team, and a lot of it starts with your
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: senior shortstop Campbell to a tremendous overall athlete we've seen
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: over the years as well as in other sports along
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: the way. She moves to shortstop after starting at second
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: base for three years. Tell us about what makes her
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: such a great player.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Her work ethic second to none. She works harder than
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: anybody else really that I've almost ever coached. She just
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: puts in the work. She puts in the time she
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: hits before and after practice, she hits on the weekend.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: She works on her game all the time. She's you know,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: we had some weight room sessions earlier the season when
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: the girls were in the weight room lifting, and and
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: she just you know, to see her in the weight
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: room and just working and working and working to get
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: better and stronger. And she just puts in a tremendous
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: amount of time and she deserves every bit of success
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: that she has because she's in so much work and
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: she's a fantastic leader. You know, I've I've talked to
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: her several times even during you know, the first part
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: of parts of the season this year with practice, and
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: she's like, coach, if you need to get mad at me,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: get mad at me, because I'd rather you be mad
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: at me than you know, some of the other girls.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Make me the the example, make me the the person
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: you need to make an example. And I just appreciate
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: that so much as a coach, because you know, not
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: only is she supporting the other girls, but she's supporting
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: me as well. She she just an extremely hard worker.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: She's diving all over the place. She doesn't care. You know,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: it's funny because you know, we do the laundry and
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: and you know, the jerseys and stuff like that, and
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: it's every it seems like every game she puts a
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: hole in her jersey, she's got dirt all over it.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: You know. She's just that type of kid that you
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: really want want to have on your fast pitch team.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all, because if you've
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: seen her play volleyball, she's jumping through the stands to
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: get every loose ball, every everything, and it's so much
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: fun to watch. Does she have the green light to
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: steal a base or their actual signs given?
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: You know, she's smart enough to where if she wants
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: to do it on her own. I never really, you know,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: get upset with her. We do have the sign to steal, yes,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: but I mean she's so good at reading pictures and
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. There'll be times when she's
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: standing on second base and I won't give it to her,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: and she sees a change up coming and all of
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: a sudden, boop, she's on third and I just kind
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: of stand there and go, hey, good job. You know
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: that's perfect. You know, she's so fast and she's so athletic.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: It's the type of player you know, you you just
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: dream about having on your team.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, she's she's so fun to watch. And it's
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: such a double edged sword because it's like you get
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: four years of this greatness and then but then you
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: blink and it's over right. It's it's so funny how
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: it is kind of both ends of it. You brought
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: up Klie Rammerman a little bit ago. Last year she
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: broke the school record for strikeouts in a season just
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: a junior this year, and she's also you know, becoming
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: an offensive force as well. What have you liked about
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: her development so far?
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: You know, she spent a tremendous amount of time in
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: the off season working on her heading, and it's showing
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: here early in the season. I don't have the numbers
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: in front of me, but I think she's got three
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: doubles already. She's got like nine RBIs she She really
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: really took the off season this last year and worked
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: on that part of her game, and it's starting to
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: it's starting to show results. Definitely the pitch part of it.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: You know, she of course broke the school record for
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: strikeouts last year, was really you know, dominant in the
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: circle for us, and you know, I just really appreciate
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: her as well from a from a standpoint of she
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: works really hard in the off season too. I mean
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: she just takes you know, I don't know how many
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: hours she spends pitching with her dad, and you know
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: she's going to off season hitting all the time with
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: you know, various hitting coaches and just trying to you know,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: get as good as she can. Tremendous kid, tremendous family.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, she she just puts in a lot of
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: work too, and I really appreciate that as a coach.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely fast pitch is one of those sports where you
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: know you have a big, big, I don't know what's
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: the right word, is big stretch of talented teams kind
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: of from each end of the spectrum. When you look
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: around the league, who stands out to you?
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: You know, Burlington is gonna be really good again this year.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: They they always stand out to me because that's the
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: team we're kind of competing with. They're gonna be really good.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: They didn't really lose a whole lot to graduation, which
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: is good for them, so they're gonna be really really talented.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Lenny Christian Tommy does a great job over there. They're
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: they're very talented and the girls put in a lot
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: of work over there. They got a lot of good
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: players that put in time. I'm expecting kind of uh
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: an uptick for Ferndale and Ana Cordis this year, just
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: based on what I've seen, you know, I think they're
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: they're on the right path to climbing to get better.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Sidrow obviously top of the league, great team, great coaching.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: They're really really fun to watch and really really good.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I would expect them to challenge for the three A
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: championship this year. They just they do everything so well.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: There's really no holes in their game at all.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Desigo still have that really good picture. Cassandra I can't.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Remember her name, Yes, Cassandra Gonzalez. Yeah she is still there. Yeah, okaye,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I'm still there and it'll be a happy day in
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: this house when she finally graduates.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's I mean, she's gonna go somewhere and pitch.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: I would imagine she's that kind of time.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, she's very very good.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, you haven't played a home game yet. What kind
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: of shape is the home field in at the moment?
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it's in good shape. I was actually earlier
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: today out there working on it. You know, our outfield's
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: a little wet right now, the dirts in decent shape.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: We've got a JV doubleheader tomorrow as kind of a
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: kind of a dress rehearsal before we host our first
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: varsity game on Tuesday. But yeah, it's in pretty good shape.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Our our grounds keeper, Paul Bonnson does a great job
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: always kind of gets that place looking spiffed up. And
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: we've made some upgrades this year. Some of the some
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: of the parents have stepped up and kind of worked
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: on our dugout a little bit and uh, you know,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: did some painting around there and and did a lot
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: of cool things. So I think we're in pretty good
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: shape as far as the field goes.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: That's good. I know a lot of teams haven't had
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: a ton of practices outdoors yet, and just the weather's
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: been it's been a strange March so far. So uh,
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: but as we all know, it turns around and you
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: get the games in and that's always how it goes.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Speaking of weather, your game against Lenny Christian was postponed.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: And is this a good thing bad thing? Do you
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: prefer to play that game a little later in the
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: season or does it really matter to you?
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: You know, I I think it's great when you when
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: you play it when the weather is a little bit better.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: You know, it in any sport Lennon Christian Linden game,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: whether it's basketball, fast pitch, you know, whatever sport it
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: might be, it's gonna bring fans out because they just
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: want to see it. So getting it later in the
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: year is probably a good thing. I know. I talked
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: with coach Zelstra earlier this week about like, hey, if
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: we can't get this in, why don't we move it
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: way later in the season. So it's nice weather, and
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: it's it's a good opponent for us to play, you know,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: as a two AA school, we're playing a one A school,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: but they're very talented and they they're they're gonna be
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: at the top, you know, of the league. So getting
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: that in, you know, later in the year really helps us,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: you know, as you prepare for district play.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: So absolutely, you're right if it's if it's played at
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: that point you're getting close to the tournament and and
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: you're right, that is a little nice little thing to
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: have there. Coach. I can't thank you enough for for
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: for joining me and for everything else. And good luck
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: out there. Hopefully I'll make it out to a game
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: soon and see you guys in person. Thank you so
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: much for your time and best of luck this season.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I appreciate you having me and I appreciate what
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: you do for Walkame County High School sports. Tyler. You
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: uh you really, uh you really shine a spotlight on
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: these kids, and we really appreciate that it doesn't go unnoticed.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Coach, Thank you so much. You bet well,
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Coachdikster. Always fun to catch up
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: with him, and uh boy, you know, he's just he's
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: just you know, I talk about like the like the
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: the nicest people that you meet in sports. He's just
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: like one of those the nicest people you meet in
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: your life. And he's a fantastic human being. And I'm
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: so glad he's got Linden steering in the right way.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: It's pretty pretty darn cool. So let's take a look
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: at the games from this past week. Again, a lot
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: lot of cancelations, different things like that, but there have
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: been there were a handful of games. We're gonna start on.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Let's see here Monday, where Meridian beat Bellingham twenty one
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: to two. I was out there but that one was
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: my first chance to get eyes on this new Meridian
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Trojan squad, a lot of new players, younger players. They
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: get to win there against Bellingham. The next and the
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: next night see him and Bellingham started to play. I
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: got pictures during that game, but they had they had
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: to stop because of rain, and they and they I
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: don't know if they completed it the next day or
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: if they just started a new game the next day.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Either way, see hom won fourteen to three. Sarah cruzitch
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: two for two with a triple and a home run,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: and the Mariners win that one. And then the next
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: day on Thursday, Bellingham played again, so they played three
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: times in four days. This time they hosted Mount Vernon.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: They put up sixteen runs in that one, a lot
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: of them early, but Mount Vernon poured it on with
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: forty two on the forty two to sixteen loss for
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: the Bellingham BayHawks. That Mount Baker was on the road
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: as they dropped one to Lakewood seven to zero. But
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think they're starting to kind
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: of figure out what they have and it's gonna be
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a tough one this year with a
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: lot of new varsity players, and so coach left he's
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: got his work cut out for him. Well, we'll just
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: put it that way. On Friday, there were more games
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: played as the weather got a little bit nicer. Nuksac
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Valley defeated Sea Home twelve zero. I was out there
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: for a little bit of that one. Blaine played a
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: double header. They played Napavine, who they lost ten to zero,
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: but came back and beat to nine Oh fifteen to seven.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: They hit five home runs in that game. That is
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: a heck of an offensive outburst. Masa Poles had a
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: couple of them. Alia Bowman had a couple, and then
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Leanna Sacnoth had her first varsity home run as well.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: So good offensive outburst by the blame border rights there.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Lynden beat Mount Rainier on that same day, seventeen to one.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Colleen Rammerman five for five with six RBIs leading the
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: onslaught there as he talked to We talked to Coachdikster
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: there just earlier, talking about what she's done offensively in
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: the off season to work on her game. There was
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: also a handful of games on Saturday, again with the
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: weather being pretty nice. Linden Christian defeated dolk Arbor nineteen
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: to one, and Taya Vanderkoy going five for five with
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: two home runs, five RBIs, five runs scored and a
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: stolen base. That's that's coming out of the leadoff spot too,
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: so she led the offense there. Roxanne Lennon getting the
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: win and she hit a home run as well. I
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: think she had Of all the players coming into this season,
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: she had the most last year. I think she had
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: seven home runs last year, so already on a good
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: pace this year. Nickzac Valley picked up the win at
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Friday Harbor fifteen to six. Great overall performance by a
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: lot of different players. Peyton Barto with a triple, threeis
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Grace Dahok have had three hits. Ellie McKissick came off
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: the bench and hit a double and two triples and
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: four RBIs. So a great overall game by a lot
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: of different players. There Sumner for a top four a
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: team beat Lyndon eleven to one, and Coopville defeated Mridi
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: in twenty two to zero. I was there for a
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: little bit of that one. And Anacortus beat Bellingham twenty
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: three to zero. So if those were all the games,
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: that happened this week. Let's take a look at the
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: stat leaders. The stat leaders and the daily scoreboards are
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: brought to you by MANA Insurance Group. You can visit
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: them online at Manna Insurancegroup dot com. Go check them
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: out in person at seven hundred Front Street and Linden.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: It is such an awesome building. It used to be
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: a bank, so they have this really cool area where
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: the vault used to be and everything, so it's really
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: awesome in there. Or you can give them a call.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Three six zero nine two two zero one four nine.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: Let's take a look at these Manna Insurance Groups stat leaders.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: We are gonna start off with batting average, and you
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: know you have to have so many at bats to
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: qualify for the lead here, so I'm looking at you
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: have to have at least eight at bats, and right now,
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Taya Vandercoy of Linden Christian is leading with a six
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: twenty five average. She is five for eight on the
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: young season so far. And let's see here what else
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: we got and slugging percentage. Same deal, you gotta have
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: eight at bats, Taya Vanderkoy, how about that thirteen to
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: seventy five slugging percentage, so that is leading the way
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: as well in an on base percentage, again, gotta have
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: eight at bats for this. As I keep scrolling down,
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: wait for someone to have eight at bats. How about
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Campbell de Young of Lindon with an on base percentage
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: of six forty three. And if you look at the
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: most runs scored so far, that is Campbell to Young
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: of Linden as well. She has scored seven runs. Leading
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: the way with seven hits. You have three different players
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: from Lyndon, Campbell to Young, Lydia Sama and Klie Rammerman.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Helps that they've played four games already, but still pretty incredible.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: They each have seven hits. Leading the way with three
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: doubles is Kalie Rammerman of Lyndon in triples? Ellie McKissick
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: of Knoksack Valley leading the way with two triples. Handful
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: of players have one triple. There's already already a couple
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: of players that have two home runs. I've talked about
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: each of them. Aliah Bawman of Blaine, Mesa Pulse of Blaine,
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: and Taya Vandercoy of Lyndon Christian each have two home
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: runs a piece to lead the way in walking county
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: so far, and in RBIs Callie Rammerman of Lyndon has
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: nine RBIs so far. In stolen bases, Campbell to Young,
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: the Campbell the green Light. The Young has eight stolen
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: bases so far on the year. In walks, we have
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: three players that have three walks each. Sarah Kruz to
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: see Home, Riley Maddingly of Meridian and Izzy Rogers of
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: Bellingham have all walked three times so far. And then
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: hit by pitch. There's four players that have been hit
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: by pitch twice already this year. For Arnison of Lynden,
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: Chloe Heinrich of Meridian, Harjust green Wall of Bellingham and
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Tavia Alexander of Meridian have all been hit by pitch twice.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: And let's look at the pitching leaders so far, and
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: leading the way and wins is Kellie Rammerman with two.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: She also leads an innings pitched at twenty one and
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: two thirds innings pitch. She's also struck out thirty nine
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: batters so far also which is again also leading the way.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: And when you look at for the best er, let's
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: see here, because we got to have at least so
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: many innings, got to have at least four innings pitch.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: So leading the way in era right now is Peyton
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: Bartell with a one point zero zero ERA. When she
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: pitched against Sea Home on Friday, I think she threw
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: four innings and did not allow a hit. So pretty
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: darn good outing there, I would say. And let's see here,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: those are your yeah, those are your Man Insurance stat leaders.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: So thank you very much Man Insurance Group for sponsoring
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: the stat leaders and the daily scoreboards. And now it
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: brings us to the Fast Pitch Player of the Week,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: which is brought to you by again the Wakam Wolverines
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Fast Pitch Club boy this one, this one was really
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: tough because there were some big time performances going out
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: with a lot of different players, and I think when
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at it, though, I think I have to
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: go with Aleah Bowman of Blaine. She just had I mean,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: she only played in the in the in the two games,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: but now the full time catcher, so she's taken that on.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: She went five for seven during the week with two
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: home runs and a double as well, so pretty pretty
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: incredible start of the season for her. The senior you know,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: last she had a great sophomore year but last year
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: as a junior, it was just rough going. She missed
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: the first handful of games with the ankle injury from basketball,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: and she just never really got going. I don't even
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: know if she hit a home run last year. She
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: already hit two in their second game of the year.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: So Aliah Bowman of Blaine, she is your Walka Wolverine's
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: Fast Pitch player of the week. And finally we will
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: go to baseball where the daily recaps are brought to

• 1:01:46

• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: I thought there was gonna be, with rainouts and different things.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the standings, and the standings

  Speaker 2: about them on the Walcome Preps podcast. Again with the standings,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: we're not looking at the league standings. That's just overall standings.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: The only undefeated team right now is Lynden Christian who
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: are two and zero, very very early start to the season.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Seehome is five and one on the year. Great start
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: for them, just you know, you kind of saw that coming.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: Very very young team last year and a lot of
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: varsity guys coming back this year. Meridian right now two
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: and one on a two game winning streak. They always
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: play very good fundamental ball, though coach Lask would probably
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: say it hasn't been so fundamental so far this year.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: You know a lot of errors and walks and things
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: that you do not expect out of a Meridian Trojan team.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: Blaine and Nuksack Valley are both one and one. They
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: both dropped their first game that what won big in
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: their second one. Lindon is two and three, playing a
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: pretty tough schedule early on. Squalkam is also two and
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: three and playing extremely well. I think They've won a
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: few games that may have surprised a few people, beating Blaine,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: beating Bellingham. So the squalkam scorem have really have something
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: going on right now. Bellingham one and four. They started
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: the year with the win over Lindon that have dropped
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: four in a row, and Ferndale and Mount Baker are
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: both zero to two to start the season. Let's take
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: a look at the games from this past week, and
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: we're gonna start off with games on Tuesday. There was
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: a handful of games on Tuesday. Meridian beat Mount Baker
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: nine to one. I was there for a little bit
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: of that. Ray Alexander picks up the win cam toen
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: Moa with the loss. You know, that game featured a
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: lot of different things. Tyson Barksdale was looking great on
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: the mound. He crushed a double to right center field
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: too and nearly came around to score. And then he
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: pitched a clean first inning but was taken out of
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: the game after an injury at home plate while he
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: was taking out a runner. The runner was out for
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: the third out, but he was not able to return.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know the game was zero zero at
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: that point. So and when he when he went out.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: They had to make a lot of adjustments and mount
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: Baker was not able to recover after that, meriting one
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: nine to one. Lynny Christian won their first game in
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: the year sixteen to one over Lakewood. A big, big
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: start by Eli Stamps his first ap out of the year,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: crushes a home run. So congratulations to him. That's a
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: kid that is so so strong. Might be I'm thinking
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: about this, he might be the strongest kid in baseball
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: this year in Walking County. That you know, it's very
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: very possible. He is just so so strong. So posing
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: pitchers be. You heard it here. First Lyndon b Okarver
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: three to two and a great pitching performance by Matthew
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Carroll Snohomisch beat Ferndale eight to one, and anacartis anacortus
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: blank Bellingham nine to zero. Those were the games on Tuesday.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: On Thursday, great game out at Bellingham High School. I
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: was out there for the beginning of this one squall
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: up and beat Bellingham three to two on a tremendous
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: performance by Hudson Johnson to see him or the senior pitcher.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: He pitched all eight innings this game on extra innings
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: and he ended up pitching all eight of them, struck
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: out seven batters, picked up a second victory of the year,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: and then offensively, he reached base all five times, including
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: a double to lead off the game, stole a couple bases.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: He just had one of those games where he did
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: so much stuff and they win three to two in
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: extra innings. So he was a big, big part of it.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: See him won twelve to one over Lakewood. WF West
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: beat Lyndon thirteen to two. On Friday, Blaine beat Burlington
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: Edison fourteen to six. I was at that one as well.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: Burlington Edison. Their field was not playable, so they had
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: to come up and they met kind of halfway. They
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: played at Seaholle High School with Burlington Edison. Because of
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: the mud slides and everything, they were about an hour
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: and a half late to the game. They might have
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: thrown them off a little bit. Blaine was Blaine kind
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: of jumped on him early and they walked. I think
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: they walked fourteen times in that game and ended up
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: scoring fourteen runs. Josh cochran the south Pop picks up
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: the win, and George Streeter had three hits. Aaron Garza
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: had two hits. Big win for Blaine. There Niksack Valley

  Speaker 2: on the road, beating Top and eleven to one. Evan
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: Brown picks up the win, goes two for two. Landon

  Speaker 2: Stauffer hits a couple of doubles in that one. Columbia
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: River beat Sea Home ten to five at Seaholme's only
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: lost so far this year, despite a three to four
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: effort from Gunner tweet and five beat Lindon five to three.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: You know, it seems like every time I see a
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Linden score, it looks like a real baseball score. Some
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: of these others you look around and you're like eleven
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: to one, fourteen to six. You know, they just don't
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: seem like baseball scores. Every time I see a Linden
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: score's always looks like a baseball score. And I think
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: it's I think it's just they're pitching in defense. You know,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: it just kind of, you know, it's just the way
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: that it is. They Nothing really gets out of hand
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: with them. And then on Saturday, another handful of games here,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Meridian beat kop Bill sixteen to seven. I was at
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: that one for a little while. It was nice to
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: see baseball under the sun. Then a Christian beating Squalicum
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: eight to one for their second win of the year. Yeah,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: looking really really sharp again. Sea home beat Seattle Academy
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: in eight innings five to three, Linnen beating still It
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: Come twelve to seven, and Mark Morris beating Bellingham six
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: to two. Bellingham drops their fourth in a row. There, so, uh,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: tough one for them, but they have a lot of talent.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: I think they'll, you know, they'll eventually get back to things.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the stat leaders, and the
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: stat leaders and the daily scoreboards are brought to you
• 1:08:01

• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: look at the stat leaders right now, leading the way
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: in batting average again, gotta have a certain amount of
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: at bats. There's a couple of players with eight at
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: bats that are batting six twenty five. One of them
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: plays for Meridians, so I'm not allowed to say who
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: it is. And Spencer Adams of Lindon is the other player.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: So he's five for eight, so he's bat six twenty
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: five to lead the way in slugging percentage. How about well, no, sorry,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: it's a Meridian player. Spencer Adams again slugging seven point
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: fifty right now, that's pretty impressive. Hudson Johnson right on
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: his tails, slugging seven to twenty seven and on base
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: percentage Spencer Adams seven hundred on base percentage so so
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: far offensively, Spencer Adams is doing his thing from the
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: hardwood to the baseball diamond. And we take a look
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: at runs score night. Now, Hudson Neff of Seaholme gave
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: us the intro. Ha scored eight runs. That is leading
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: the way in Walking County. In hits, Gunner Tweet of
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Seahome leading the way with eight hits. In doubles, Jad
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: Geiger of Seahome with four doubles. In triples, we got
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: a handful of players with triples. I can only talk
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: about one of them, as you know, as people are aware,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to post Meridian stats, not until the
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: end of the year. It's just something they've asked me,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know eight years ago when I first started
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: doing this, if I could hold off on posting their stats,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: and this said, that's fine, that is your wish, and
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: uh so, right now Eli Maber leading the way with
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: a triple Eli stamps with the home run and in
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: RBI's Tyson Goodman leading the way with Seahome with seven
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: RBIs and in stolen bases, Hudson Nef has ten stolen
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: bases so far in the year. That's twice as many
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: as his teammates. Gunner tweet, Sonny Myers and Tyson Goodman walks.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: Right now, we have three Seahome Mariners with eight walks already,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Hudson Nefs, Sonny Myers, and Tyson Goodman. A lot of
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: the same names. And it hits by a pitch. Sonny
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Myers of Seaholme and Dawson Van Dalen of Lindon have
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: each been hit by a pitch three times. So there
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: you go. There you have it. Those are your offensive
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: stat leaders. Let's take a look the pitching stat leaders.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: Within wins, you got two players with two wins each, Hudson,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Johnson and Gunner tweet are each two to oher to
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: start the year an innings pitched, Hudson Johnson and Gunner
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: Tway again each with twelve innings pitched. We also have

• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: Hudson Johnson of Squalkum and Brody Garrott of Bellingham each
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: have eleven strikeouts on the year. I saw them pitch
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: against each other on Thursday night. That was pretty cool.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: And in e Rara we have Matthew Carroll has thrown
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: six and two thirds innings without allowing an earned run.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: Evan Brown has thrown five innings without allowing an earned run.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: So they both have an ERA of zero. And yeah,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: those are your stat leaders, so pretty impressive. There got
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: some got some good numbers to start off the year,

• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: slash shortstop gunner tweet. In those three games this week,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: he really had an impact in all of them. Early
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: on in the week, against Lakewood he picked up his
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: second win of the year. Also went one for four
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: with a walk and two stolen bases. Later on against
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: Columbia River, even though Columbia River got the win, he
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: went three for four with an RBI, and then against
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: Seattle Academy in that eight inning game he went two
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: for four with two more stolen bases. Always plays tremendous defense.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: So good job pitching, good job defense, good job offense.
