The Timberline Blazers will challenge the Curtis Vikings at 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
On Friday, Timberline didn't have quite enough to beat Olympia and fell 4-3. The loss continues a trend for the Blazers in their meetings with the Bears: they've now lost seven in a row.
Timberline saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Junior San Nicolas, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, Curtis had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They blew past Kentwood 16-4 on Friday.
Bradley Dinelt was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Dinelt was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances.
In other batting news, Harlan Carrillo was a standout: he got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Cooper Hordyk, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Curtis always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .568. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Kentwood only posted an OBP of .381.
Timberline might still be hurting after the 12-2 defeat they got from Curtis when the teams last played back in May of 2024. Can Timberline avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
