Soccer looks to rebound

The Wolves dropped two games last week with a 3-1 loss on April 21 to North Mason in Belfair snapping a three-game winning streak for Sequim.

“It was a tough loss for us last night in a very competitive game,” said coach Ian McCallum.

He said the first half was even with neither team able to create any serious goal-scoring opportunities.

The Wolves jumped on the Bulldogs early in the second half when Josh Alcaraz scored from the top of the box to give Sequim a 1-0 lead. McCallum called it an outstanding goal from Alcaraz.

North Mason was able to equalize the score with a quick attack and shot from the edge of the box. With about eight minutes remaining, the Bulldogs scored again to take the lead. As Sequim pushed forward, looking for its own equalizer, the Bulldogs scored on a deflected shot to get an insurance goal.

The Wolves were without top goal scorer Colten Anderson and starting defender Jayden Halladay.

Sequim also lost 4-0 in an away game on April 24 to No. 1-ranked Bainbridge.

This week, they’re set to travel to Olympic on April 28, and host Port Angeles on May 1. They finish the regular season in Poulsbo against North Kitsap on May 5.

Baseball: Wolves defeat Forks

Sequim is specializing this year in some wild, high-scoring games. Friday was no exception as the Wolves held off a late Forks rally to win 12-9.

The game had more than 40 baserunners with 19 combined hits, 11 walks, 10 errors and six hit batsmen.

Sequim went into the seventh inning up 12-5 but Forks rallied with four runs in the top of the seventh and had three runners on with two outs when pitcher Duran Ward got a fielder’s choice groundout to end the game and the threat.

Hunter Tennell went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs, while William Kuperus was 2-for-3 with a triple and two RBIs. Van Johnson was 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. Ward finished with two runs scored and two RBIs.

The Wolves used four pitchers. Connor Oase started, allowing four hits in four innings and two earned runs. He struck out five.

Earlier in the week, Sequim lost to Bainbridge twice, first 11-1 on April 21 in an away game, and 14-2 (five innings) on April 23 in Sequim. In the away game, Lincoln Bear hit a solo home run in the first inning. Ward and Johnson had Sequim’s two other hits.

At home, Ward had Sequim’s lone hit while Sequim scored its two runs early when Zeke Schmadeke was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on a Tennell walk, third base on a wild pitch and came home on another errant pitch. Tennell later came home on a Devyn Dearinger sacrifice fly.

Sequim was set to play at North Kitsap Tuesday, host the Vikings on Thursday, and travel to Chimacum on Friday to play East Jefferson.

Fastpitch finishes in five

The Sequim softball team beat East Jefferson 15-5 on Friday.

East Jefferson pitchers surrendered 14 walks. Sequim’s Mattie Messenger was 1-for-1 with three runs scored, three walks and two stolen bases. Naveah Owens was 1-for-2 with a run scored and two RBIs. Ava Ritter had three stolen bases and scored two runs.

Officially, Sequim won two games Friday. The Wolves also won a 2-0 forfeit over Bainbridge, which is unable to field a team.

On Monday, April 20, Sequim gave up two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to lose a back-and-forth affair with Kingston 7-6.

The Wolves scored three runs in the fifth inning to take a 6-4 lead thanks to a Messenger solo home run, an RBI double by Rylie Doig and an RBI single by Seren McClurken.

Kingston got within one run in the sixth and scored two in the seventh on a walk, an error, a steal of home base and another error.

Rilynn Whitehead pitched the whole game for Sequim, going 6⅓ innings. She allowed just four hits and one earned run, but was stung by nine Sequim errors. She struck out three.

Messenger finished 2-for-4, while Alexia Fuller was 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored. McClurken finished 3-for-4 with a run scored and three RBIs.

This week, the Wolves were set to host a doubleheader against North Mason Monday, North Kitsap on Tuesday, and travel to Bremerton on Friday. They finish their regular season next week.
