Olympia will challenge Tahoma at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both teams are coming into the matchup red-hot, with Olympia sitting on four straight wins and Tahoma on 14.
Olympia barely beat Emerald Ridge the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Bears blew past the Jaguars 8-2 on Tuesday. Considering the Bears have won nine games by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, Tahoma faced Union in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Tuesday. The Bears had just enough and edged out the Titans 2-0. Two seems to be a good number for the Bears as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
Union's batters probably weren't too happy with Neal Burtis, who pitched a no hitter and racked up ten Ks (he gave up a single walk). Burtis has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Beckett Turnbow, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and two stolen bases.
Tahoma's win bumped their record up to 20-1. As for Olympia, their victory bumped their record up to 19-5.
Olympia got the 'W' when the teams last played back in May of 2024 against Tahoma by a conclusive 11-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for Olympia since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
