The Other Coach Altman – csnnw.com – April 16, 2013

Another rain out cancellation spoils game 2 of the Green River and GHC double header Tuesday at Ken Waite Field.  That game will be made up at the conclusion of the league schedule.  The specific date has not been confirmed yet.

The Chokers won the first contest 10-2 behind a great pitching performance by Ryan Snyder and timely hitting.  Snyder threw a complete game allowing only 3 hits in the contest.  Snyder also struck out 9 Green River batters.

Due to walks, GHC batters found themselves in an opportunity to deliver RBIs.  Kyle Weiler delivered the moment that really started the scoring onslaught.  Kyle cashed in on a bases loaded situation with a double, driving in all 3 base runners.  Kyle ended the day 3 for 5 with those 3 RBIS.  Jordan Churchill was also 3 for 5 with 2 RBIs of his own.  Tyler Hiles, Dylan Deckert, and Corbin Sims each contributed 2 hits, with Sims’ hits resulting in 2 more RBIs.

The 10-2 win was good momentum for GHC Baseball and player confidence moving toward the second half of league play.  Keep posted for date, location, and time of the make-up of Game 4 with Green River.

The Choker Softball team was in fine form on Tuesday, April 9th, when they swept Green River in two games. In the first game, the Chokers won 6-1, with Jill Johnson (pictured below) pitching. Amanda Anderson scored 1 home run, and Kaisha Hollenbeck scored 3 hits. In their second game of the day, Jill Johnson continued pitching while Jasmine Gilmore scored 1 home run for the Chokers, helping the team win 7-3.

With these wins, Choker Softball is now 2-0 in the Western Conference. The team hopes to continue their winning streak in their upcoming games to solidify their position in the Conference. Choker Softball will be playing again today, April 12th, against South Puget Sound in Olympis. The team will then play against Centralia, on April 13th, at home at the Bishop Athletic Complex.  We wish our Choker Softball ladies good luck in all their games!
