AMERICAN LEGION: Wilder Senior wins four straight

Senior’s Ethan Staples fires no-hitter

PORT ANGELES — Wilder Senior won four straight over Whatcom Post No. 7, taking one of its victories Sunday in dramatic fashion with a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh by Braydan White.

White pitched the seventh inning and was also the winning pitcher.

White also had a huge game late Sunday with a home run, a double and three RBIs in a 13-2 victory over Whatcom. Wilder ended up sweeping all four games over Whatcom on Saturday and Sunday.

Wilder Senior won its first game Saturday 8-0 on an Ethan Staples no-hitter and won again Saturday evening 13-2.

White’s Sequim teammate Zeke Schmadeke started Sunday’s early game and went an outstanding six innings, locked in a pitchers’ duel with Whatcom’s Gunnar Tweit. Schmadeke went six innings, allowing just three hits. He struck out one.

The game went into the seventh inning tied 0-0. Whatcom got a run in the seventh, loading the bases against White, who had come into the game in relief. Whatcom hit a fly ball to score the runner from home, but outfielder Jordan Shumway got the ball in to Colton Romero (Skagit Valley College) to tag a runner out advancing to second base to end the inning, preventing any more runs.

In the bottom of the seventh, Port Angeles, Sequim and Forks players all contributed to the win. Kody Williams began the rally with a walk. Alex Angevine went in to pinch-run. Forks’ Landen Olson hit a single to move Angevine to third and Angevine came in to score on an error.

Olson stole second and moved to third on a groundout. White then followed with his game-winning hit.

In Sunday’s late game, White finished 3-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored. Williams was 2-for-3 with two runs scored while Olson had a hit, a run scored and two RBIs.

Romero pitched four innings, allowing two earned runs, while Olson pitched two innings.
