TENINO — Montesano rallied back from an early deficit to defeat Tenino in an Evergreen 1A League game on Friday.
The Bulldogs (9-0, 9-3) trailed 7-6 going into the sixth, but played small ball to score three in the inning. Montesano’s Nate Kloempken and Nick Chapman earned back-to-back walks to start the rally. Carson Klinger singled to score both runners and plate the go-ahead goal. Teegan Zillyett added an insurance run with a double to score Klinger before Dakoyta Reninger hit a solo home run in the seventh to cap the scoring.
“(Tenino) came out swinging,” Montesano head coach Mike Osgood said. “They just flat out hit the ball to start the game and that put us in catch up mode. Once we settled down, we started chipping away. It was just a back-and-forth game. We haven’t had to many of those so it was nice to see us get the win.”
Osgood cited Kloempken, who pitched three shutout innings to close the game, Reninger and Nick Chapman, who had three hits, for their performances.
Montesano hosts River Ridge on Monday.

ELMA — Elma rallied to win an error-filled first game 8-7 over Forks in extra innings and grabbed and early lead and held on to defeat the Spartans 5-2 for a sweep of an Evergreen 1A League doubleheader on Friday.
The Eagles (4-7, 5-9-1) overcame six errors in the first game to come from behind to win. Micah Swint singled to score the tying run in the seventh and Cody Robinette hit a deep sacrifice fly to score Colten French to win the game in the eighth inning.

“Alex was on point on the mound,” Elma head coach Todd Baun said. “He just didn’t give up much and if he did get into a little bit of trouble he was able to get out of it.”

Hyaks 9, Grizzlies JV 5
At Olympic Stadium, Steven Sotomish rode his team’s six-run first-inning outburst to a near complete-game performance on the mound in North Beach’s win over Hoquiam’s junior varsity squad on Friday.
Sotomish struck out nine, walked four and scattered eight hits for the win. Nolan Charley drove in three runs. Michael Larson, who came in in relief of Sotomish for the final two outs in the seventh, added two RBI and Dylan Pinnell had three hits, including an RBI, for the Hyaks.
“Sotomish was finally efficient with his pitches,” North Beach head coach Dave Hinchen said. “He was able to go deeper into the game and he really controlled the game for us. One of the things we stress with him is getting into a rhythm, so that the defense can play behind him. Defensively, that was the best game we’ve played all year. Sotomish was a big part of that.”
On Tuesday, North Beach closes out the season at home against Life Christian Academy.
