Baseball wins district opener

Zeke Schmadeke had three hits and an RBI and pitched five innings and recorded eight strikeouts, while Devyn Dearinger closed the game with two shutout innings and three strikeouts. The Cardinals only had one hit in the game
The Wolves were set to play No. 1 seed Bainbridge on Tuesday after the Gazette’s press deadline.
Sequim lost its two previous games to the Spartans 11-1 and 14-2. If they win, they’ll play May 16, and May 15 if they lose.
For the Wolves’ regular season finale on May 6, Sequim came out on top in a back-and-forth game against Bremerton, rallying back from a 6-4 deficit and holding off the Knights late in a 9-8 triumph at Legion Field.
The win put the Wolves in a three-way tie with Bremerton and North Mason for fifth in the Olympic League.
The Wolves broke an 8-8 tie in the top of the sixth inning when Hunter Tennell doubled to left field with one out and after a Lincoln Bear pop out came home on Dearinger’s RBI single to left for a 9-8 lead.
Fastpitch awaits district placement
The Sequim softball team (4-10, 5-11) was awaiting district tournament seeding on Monday to play a loser-out game on May 15 in Lacey.
They had a heartbreaking end to their regular season on May 8 fighting Olympic hard to 11 innings, but falling in the bottom of the 11th, 11-10. The Wolves got down 4-0 early, but rallied with a four-run sixth inning. Mattie Messenger had the big blow with a three-run double. McKenna Cox added an RBI double to score Messenger.
The game went to extra innings. Sequim took a 9-5 lead in the 10th inning, but the Trojans were able to score four in the bottom of the 10th to tie it. Rilynn Whitehead had an RBI single in the 11th inning to give Sequim a 10-9 lead, but Olympic hit a pair of doubles in the bottom of the 11th to win it.
Messenger finished 2-for-5 with a double, three RBIs and two runs scored. Ava Ritter was 2-for-6 with a double and a run scored, while Kiley Winter was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Cox finished 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI.
Washington ousts Wolves in soccer
Sequim lost to Washington 3-1 on Saturday, May 9 at Franklin Pierce High School in the loser-out opening round of the District 3 2A Boys Soccer Tournament.
Bjorn Henrikson scored early in the match to give the Wolves a 1-0 lead but Washington bounced back with three straight goals to take the match. Sequim’s season ends with a 7-8 record.
To end their regular season on May 5, the Wolves won 3-0 over North Kitsap in Poulsbo with three first-half goals.
“Great last regular season game for the boys, we made some formation adjustments from the last time we played NK and the boys adapted really well,” coach Ian McCallum said.
“We got off to a great start with Josh Alcaraz scoring off a direct free kick.”
Alcaraz took a pass from Matias Divinsky and played what McCallum called a “fantastic through ball” for Colten Anderson to run in on goal and place in the far corner for a 2-0 lead midway through the half.
McCallum said the Wolves’ bench was the key factor in the game with Max Stanford, Memo Salgado, Sebastian Buhrer and Aaiden Galvin creating opportunities for Sequim.
“Following a combination between Sebastian Buhrer and Memo Salgado, with Buhrer smashing in a shot from the edge of the box to put the Wolves up 3-0 at the half,” McCallum said.
North Kitsap continued to push forward in attack to even up the score, but McCallum said Sequim’s strong back line of Finn Braaten, Matias Divinsky, Ayden Peters, Jaedyn Halladay and goalkeeper Kaiden Tosland would keep the Vikings offense frustrated.
North Kitsap started the second half with a high-energy offense but the midfield of Colton Wagner, Dylan Anderson and Bjorn Henrikson would keep these chances at distance without forcing goalkeeper Tosland into any saves.
As the game continued, Nico Musso, Alejandro Musso, Coby Rocha, Wes Shroeder, Coal Seamands and Tristan Weston-Webb would contribute quality minutes from the bench to close out the shutout.
