SPORTS: Chimacum soccer falls to Eatonville; other prep reports

CHIMACUM — The Chimacum boys soccer team fell to Eatonville 7-1 Monday at H.J. Carroll Park.

Chris Peiper scored the Cowboys’ lone goal in the 32nd minute.

The Cruisers led 3-1 at halftime before tallying four unanswered goals in the second half.

Chimacum now stands 0-3 on the season.

The Cowboys appear to be in a much better position than last year, and have hope for their future.

In 2012, Chimacum started the season with 12 players, but the roster dwindled to nine for much of the season, meaning the Cowboys played each game down two players.

This year, the team has 17 players.

Chimacum coach Kevin Coate credits soccer’s increased popularity for the increase in participation.

BREMERTON — Ashlee Reed homered again, Sarah Steinman won again, and the Roughriders again notched a blowout Olympic League road win on Monday.

Reed, who had a grand slam against Klahowya on Friday, had an inside-the-park home run Monday against the Knights.

Port Angeles racked up nine hits by nine different players.

Steinman and Cara Cristion both had triples and Haley Gray drove in four runs and scored two.

On the mound, Steinman improved to 2-0 on the season by tossing three innings and allowing one hit and striking out four batters.

Cristion pitched the final three innings, fanning three and giving up just one hit and one run.

“We are playing as a team and everyone is contributing,” first-year Riders coach Randy Steinman said.

The Port Angeles JV team also dominated Bremerton on Monday, winning 24-0.

Alicia Howell, Karley Bowen and Emily Johnson belted two doubles each.

BREMERTON — For the second time in their two games this season, the Roughriders came oh-so-close to picking up an Olympic League victory, losing on a balk call in the eighth inning.

“It was sad to lose such a hard-fought game by both teams on that type of call,” Port Angeles coach Chad Wagner said.

“No team wanted to win or lose on that call.”

The Riders opened the season with a 2-1 loss to Klahowya that went down to the final out of the seventh inning.

Monday’s game reached extra innings, with Bremerton’s Matt Noll scoring from third base after Port Angeles pitcher Michael Konopaski was called for a balk with one out in the bottom of the eight inning.

Marcus Konopaski went 1-2 at the plate with a double, a run, an RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

Brian DeFrang was 1-3 with a run and a steal.

Chase Jangula threw five strong innings with four strikeouts, a walk and only one earned run.

The Riders (0-2, 0-2) look to rebound from their hard-luck start to the season today against Olympic (1-1, 1-2) at Volunteer Field.
