PREPS: Brayden Martin throws 15 strikeout no-hitter for Port Angeles

Published 1:30 am Friday, May 1, 2026

FORKS — With much of the team’s star power unavailable due to an out-of-town trip, Forks’ nine-game winning streak was snapped abruptly by Hoquiam in a 14-1 nonleague softball defeat Thursday at Tillicum Park.

Kylie Hull notched two hits for Forks and scored the Spartans’ lone run on a Brooklynn Rondeau RBI single.

Forks’ (8-2, 11-4) will await its Class 2B District IV tournament fate: the Spartans will either begin tournament play with a loser-out contest May 11 at Montesano or receive a bye and begin play in the double-elimination bracket May 15 at Fort Borst Park in Centralia.

Baseball Port Angeles 2, Bremerton 0

PORT ANGELES — Brayden Martin threw a complete game no-hitter, going the distance in the Roughriders’ Olympic League victory at Civic Field on Thursday.

Martin racked up 15 strikeouts and walked just two batters.

It was the second shutout of the week for Rider pitching, as they allowed just one hit across two games with Bremerton.

Port Angeles did just enough at the plate to preserve Martin’s near-perfecto.

Owen Leitz went 2-for-3 and stole a base; Carson Waddell was hit by a pitch, stole two bases and scored a run and Zach DeBray singled home a run, stole a base and scored for the Riders.

Port Angeles (5-7, 9-8) hosts Kingston on Tuesday.

North Kitsap 5, Sequim 4

SEQUIM — The Wolves couldn’t hang on to an early lead and weren’t able to complete the comeback in their last turn to bat against the Vikings.

In the bottom of the seventh, Connor Oase came through with a sacrifice fly, but the Wolves stranded the potential tying run at first base.

Zeke Schmadeke had two hits including an RBI double and walked twice to pace the offense.

Lincoln Bear had a hit and was hit by a pitch, scoring another Sequim run.

Devyn Dearinger also went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI.

Sequim (4-8, 5-11) hosts Bremerton on Tuesday.

Quilcene 7, Crosspoint 4

QUILCENE — The Rangers turned a rough half inning into a comeback win at home Thursday in a contest for first place in the Class 1B SeaTac League

Jesse Minish’s RBI double put Quilcene ahead 5-4 and Eli Allen came through with his third hit of the game, a two-run single to add some distance on the scoreboard.

Quilcene threw a combined one-hitter in the game with starter Aiden Cate untouched with three strikeouts through two innings. Allen closed out the game on the mound, throwing the final five innings, allowing four runs, one earned, on a hit and three walks with 16 strikeouts.

The Rangers (5-1, 8-3) visit Muckleshoot on Monday.
