Prep Sports: SHS baseball, tennis claim victories; fastpitch falls

Baseball

The late winter/early spring chill didn’t have much effect on Sequim’s bats — at least, not in their matchup with 1A foe Coupeville on March 17.

Justin Porter had four hits, James Grubb was 3-for-5 with four RBIs and Johnnie Young had two doubles and three RBIs in a 14-5 drubbing of the host Coupeville squad.

SHS starter Gavin Velarde tossed two innings of two-hit, shutout ball for the victory and went 2-for-4 at the plate.

Relievers Young, Ian Miller and Rudy Whitehead threw three-and-a-third innings of shutout baseball to close out the game.

Miller and Jared Thomas also had two hits each in Sequim’s 18-hit effort.

Sequim’s baseball squad (1-0) was slated to play at Klahowya on March 20. The Wolves host North Mason on March 22 and are at Mount Tahoma on March 23 and North Kitsap on March 24. Sequim has home dates against Roosevelt on March 28 and Port Angeles on March 29.

Fastpitch

Sequim’s fastpitch squad got all it could handle and more in a pair of non-league games against Northwest Conference foes last week.

The Wolves (0-2) dropped a 10-0 decision to the Sehome Mariners and an 18-3 matchup to the Lynden Lions on March 18 in Anacortes.

Sequim was scheduled to play at Klahowya on March 20.

The Wolves host North Mason on March 22 before playing games at North Kitsap on March 24 and Archbishop Murphy on March 25.

Sequim takes on rival Port Angeles at home on March 29.

Girls tennis

Sequim got off to a solid start in their 2017 season, knocking off 1A foe Coupeville on the road 4-3 on March 16.

The Wolves (1-0) were scheduled to host Olympic March 20 and Bremerton March 21 — results were not available at press time.

Sequim is at North Mason on March 22 — a makeup match from an early-season postponement — before playing three consecutive home matches: Kingston on March 23, Port Angeles on March 27 and Klahowya on March 29.
