Baseball: Sequim earns split with Kingston

Published 1:30 am Wednesday, April 5, 2023

The Sequim baseball team got an outstanding game both on the mound and at the plate from Toppy Robideau in dominating Kingston 10-2 on March 28.

Robideau started the game and went six innings, allowing only one hit and no earned runs. He struck out seven and walked one. Braydan White came in to pitch the ninth, allowing a walk and striking out two.

At the plate, Robideau went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and two RBIs. White also went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBIs.

Brett Mote went 2-for-5 with two runs scored. Bryant LaBoy went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored. Zeke Schmadeke had a hit, two walks, a run scored and two stolen bases.

Kingston exacted a bit of revenge two days later in a 7-2 victory in the home-and-away finale, getting seven solid innings from starter Seamus Gallagher.

Gallagher struck out 11 Sequim batters and gave up just three hits: a double to White and singles to Mote and Schmadeke. Jordan Morse and Chayton Walker had three hits each for Kingston.

Schmadeke pitched a solid inning-and-two-thirds of relief, striking out four Buccaneers and giving up one run.

The Wolves (1-5 in league play, 3-5 overall) are off for spring break until April 11, when they face Port Angeles at Civic Field.
