SEQUIM — In a game featuring 22 walks, the Sequim baseball team pieced together enough hits to hold off a late Port Angeles rally and pick up a 14-10 rivalry win on Thursday.
It was the first-ever victory for a Dave Ditlefsen-coached Wolves team over the Riders and also the first time Port Angeles has lost to Sequim in Bob Withrow’s seven years as head coach.
“We were able to back up the walks with some timely hits,” Ditlefsen said.
Port Angeles pitchers allowed 12 free passes and Sequim (3-3 in league, 5-4 overall) surrendered 10 bases on balls.
Alex Gillis (2-1) picked up the win for Sequim, going five innings and allowing five runs (two earned), on one hit with eight strikeouts, five walks and one hit batter.
“Gillis was really tough through five,” Ditlefsen said. “He had one shaky inning where a little wildness affected him but he cruised through the third, fourth and fifth innings.”
Port Angeles (3-2, 3-3) held a 4-2 lead after a four-run second inning but the Wolves soon took a 12-4 lead after a three-run second and a six-run fourth inning.
Drew Rickerson was 3-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored for the Wolves, while teammate Jason Baker went 1-for-1 with three RBIs, two walks, a sacrifice fly and was hit by a pitch.
“It was the same problem,” Port Angeles coach Bob Withrow said. “We don’t seem to throw strikes, and I can’t get more than two innings out of a pitcher.
“You couple that with errors and mental mistakes and you don’t get many wins that way.”
The Riders put up three runs on Sequim reliever Anthony Washington in the sixth and chased him from the game in the seventh while scoring three more runs.
But the Wolves were able to close out the game without any more damage.
Ryan Wilcox had an RBI double and scored twice, and A.J. Konopaski doubled and scored twice for Port Angeles.
“PA started to rally and battle and put the pressure on us but we were able to work hard and get the win,” Ditlefsen said.
Sequim visits league-leading Kingston today while the Riders host North Kitsap at home this afternoon.

Softball Port Angeles 3, Sequim 0
SEQUIM — Port Angeles picked up a win over rival Sequim on the solid pitching of Stacey Webb (3-0) and some nice defensive play in the field.
“She [Webb] mixed it up well against us,” Sequim (2-3, 4-3) coach Mel Hendrickson said.
“She kept it inside on our heavy hitters so they couldn’t turn on it and we just kept hitting it right at them.”
Kelsey Hinsdale was 3-for-4 and Sasha Zichella was 1-for-2 with two RBIs for the Riders.
“It was nice to get back on the winning track again,” Port Angeles coach Buddy Bear said.
