Wildcats split
FORKS — Class 2B Ocosta earned a split with 1A Forks in a non-league doubleheader Saturday at Forks.
Kaylee Barnum drove in three runs as the Wildcats won the opener, 9-5. After shaky defense contributed to a four-run Spartan first inning, Ocosta pitcher Erika Snider settled down and allowed only one run the rest of the way.
Forks capitalized on eight Wildcat errors for a 7-4 victory in the nightcap. Barnum hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning.
State semifinalists last year, the Wildcats are 1-2 against well-regarded 1A opposition thus far.
“We really want to make our schedule better so we can make a run at the state championship,” Ocosta coach Jason Barnum said.

Beavers 4, Bobcats 1
WOODLAND — Host Woodland scored twice in each half to spoil Aberdeen’s season opener on Friday at Woodland.
Bobcat coach Larry Fleming said Woodland’s ability to capitalize on its scoring opportunities represented the difference in the contest.
“It was a great effort by our boys,” Fleming said. “They made a couple of mistakes and went down a couple of goals but they didn’t hang their heads. They just kept working. That will pay off down the road.”
The Bobcats opened the scoring when freshman Angel Sanchez converted a cross from his cousin, Romeo Sanchez, only six minutes into the match. The Beavers tied it in the 28th minute and took the lead when a shot was mishandled by the goalkeeper two minutes later.
Midfielder Tony Oropeza, senior sweeper Trevor Dawkins and junior defender Christian Sanchez were cited for strong performances.
Tony Hernandez and Edgar Gaspar scored for Aberdeen in a 2-2 junior varsity tie.
The Bobcats travel to Elma on Tuesday.
