Bremerton dropped to 3-5 on Thursday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins at home. They lost 14-2 to the Olympic Trojans. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Trojans this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 11-0 on Tuesday.
As for Olympic, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 3-5. Considering they have won three games by more than nine runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
For Olympic's part, they let Drew Walters and Chase Beninger run wild. Walters got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, four RBI, and one triple, while Beninger went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and two doubles. Beninger is becoming a predictor of Olympic's success: when he posts at least three RBI the team is 3-1 (and 0-4 when he doesn't). Nate Payfer was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with two runs.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Bremerton will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Bainbridge at 4:15 p.m. on the 14th. As for Olympic, they will host Foss at 4:15 p.m. on Friday. The Falcons have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 17 runs per game on average), something the Trojans will no doubt try to take advantage of.
