FIFE — Port Angeles broke out to an early 2-0 lead but couldn’t hang on in an error-filled Class 2A West Central District III baseball tournament loss, falling to No. 2-seeded Fife 4-3 on the road Tuesday.
The No. 7-seeded Roughriders (12-9) are still alive in the double-elimination tournament and will face No. 3 seed Steilacoom at Fife High School at 6 p.m. Friday.
Port Angeles (six) and Fife (five) combined for 11 errors in Tuesday’s game.
Port Angeles loaded the bases in its final turn at bat when Owen Leitz and Carston Seibel drew walks and Carson Waddell reached via a Fife error.
But the Trojans struck out Easton Fisher and got the Roughriders’ leading hitter Abe Brenkman to ground into a double play.
Fife took the lead on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the sixth against Port Angeles starter Brayden Martin.
Leadoff hitter Bryce DeLeon was plunked by a pitch to open the contest and came around to score when Fisher reached on an error.
Ian Smithson came through with an RBI double in the second to put Port Angeles up 2-0.
Brenkman later brought home a run when his fly ball to center field was misplayed, putting the Riders up 3-1.
Fife tied it up at 3-all in the fifth, taking advantage of a Martin error to advance on the basepaths.
