“She’s such a gifted pitcher,” Keen said of Smith, last year’s Ev- ergreen 2A Conference Pitching MVP. “We just needed that mes- sage that we can put the ball in play and make things happen.” W.F. West hurler Haley Gra- ham, meanwhile, struck out six, walked one, hit two batters and allowed five hits. “(That’s) better than I’ve pitched to Tumwater all the oth- er games,” she said afterwards. “We came out ready to play, with nothing to lose. They’re the ones we wanted to beat.” “She did amazing,” Bearcat shortstop Dani Braun said. “She just really shined tonight.” Pete Caster / Tumwater took a 3-1 lead in [email protected] the top of the third, on a sharp W.F.

Alyssa Ubrun then knocked a ball past a Bearcat outfielder and came around to score when the throw to third base was off. W.F. West answered with a 4-run third inning. A single from Graham, a misplayed fielder’s choice and a single from Lauren Fisher loaded the bases for Girardin, who was hit in the foot by a pitch to bring in a run. Chloe Lewis followed with a 2-run single, and an error on a ground ball from Caitlin Reyn- olds brought in the fourth score. Graham faced only nine bat- ters over the fourth, fifth and sixth frames, helped along by a double-play ball to Braun in the fourth. Tumwater’s Ashley Wells hit a one-out solo homer in the seventh and the next bat- ter reached on an error to keep things interesting, but Kaitlin Moore hauled in a fly ball in right field and Girardin snagged a low line drive at third to end the game. “Twice, in the regular season, we didn’t hang on,” Braun said. “Tonight, we really buckled down. We didn’t care that we’d lost three times. It was a new slate.” Fisher finished 2 for 3 at the plate, and Graham went 2 for 4. W.F. West (18-3) will advance to the State 2A Softball Tourna- ment for the ninth-straight sea- son. The Bearcats finished third at state in 2008, 2010 and 2011. This year’s tournament will be held May 25 and 26 at Carlon Park in Selah. 1A Tennis Beavers Win Fourth-Straight District Tennis Title

By The Chronicle VANCOUVER — Tenino won its fourth-straight District IV girls tennis championship in dominant fashion here Friday at the Vancouver Tennis Center. Tenino’s Kirsten Jorgensen defeated teammate Shelby Frasl in the singles championship match, and Janelle Young and Kelli Neer beat teammates Em- ily Mankowski and Katie Forest 6-3, 6-3 in an all-Beaver doubles championship. Jorgensen, Frasl and the two Tenino doubles teams will all ad- vance to the State 1B/2B/1A Girls Tennis Championships, set for Friday and Saturday at the Ya- kima Tennis Club. “Today was a culmination of four years of hard work by these ladies,” Tenino coach Andy Bowerly said. “They fought hard, played through some tough points in the match and had guts.” It was the fourth-straight dis- trict singles title for Jorgensen, and the third runner-up finish for Frasl. It was also the third consecutive year the Beavers swept the singles and doubles titles. “We have had the target on our backs the past three years and have worn it with pride and put our skills on display on the court,” Bowerly said. “Teams bring their best for us, and we handled it and dished it back at them. We couldn’t be happier with the end result.” Sports 6 • The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Saturday, May 19, 2012 SPORTS
