Fastpitch wins! (and other sports)

May 4th, 2010 at Tue, 4th, 2010 at 8:36 am by Rik Forschmiedt

The Pirate fastpitch softball team defeated Life Christian 11-7 yesterday.

Congratulations ladies!

It’s off to Life Christian today to try to make it two in a row, then back home for a non-league game with Steilacoom JV on Friday. Wouldn’t it be great to give these girls a big crowd for their last game?

Other sports:

Baseball plays Charles Wright today in a pigtail game for fourth place and a playoff spot. The game is 4 p.m. at UPS.

Boys soccer plays at Orting today for second and third in the Nisqually League. They tied in their first meeting and are tied in the standings. Varsity game is 6 p.m., JV at 4 p.m. It’s the final game for the JV.

Regardless of the result of today’s game both Orting and Vashon play again Saturday, winner v Charles Wright, loser v Port Townsend/Cascade Christian winner. Games are 1 and 3 p.m. at Orting.
