YAKIMA, Wash. — Ellensburg dominated league, Selah owned district and East Valley swept its two league games against Selah.

Each of the CWAC’s elite baseball teams has made plenty of trouble for the other, but now they will meet on one field on one day for one prize.

Fresh off their 3-0 sweep of the Great Northern League in regional play, Ellensburg, Selah and East Valley will converge Saturday along with Cheney for two rounds of the Class 2A state tournament at Davis High School.

As they will on Saturday, CWAC baseball teams have had to fight their way into the 2A state semifinals through regional play at Davis in recent years. From the left, Ellensburg’s Ethan Sterkel vs. Pullman in 2009; center, East Valley’s Kevin Komstadius vs. Cedarcrest in 2008 and, right, Selah’s Andrew Gonzalez vs. Cheney in 2010.

So much for this being a soft year in the league.

“You look at the teams that didn’t make it out of district — Ephrata and Prosser — those are really good teams,” said EV coach Jesse Benedetti. “One through five or six — you could hold your head up high. The league was deeper than most thought it would be.”

Which makes squeezing all three into one quarterfinal site, while convenient for spectators, a heavy disadvantage for a league so deep.

“We beat each other up in league, beat each other up in district and now we have to do it again on Saturday,” noted Ellensburg coach Todd Gibson. “We all came through the sub-regional round with wins, so it would be nice for at least one of us to go west and have a shot at getting through one of those regionals.”

Only one team can advance out of the Davis regional to the final four at Yakima County Stadium on May 25-26.

And if you’re into toss-ups, consider this: In the eight games that paired two of these three teams, seven were decided by three runs or less and three were one-run games.

Saturday’s 10 a.m. first-round game will feature the fourth meeting between fourth-ranked Selah (19-5) and No. 8 East Valley (18-6), which swept the Vikings 3-2, 10-7 in league play.

But after taking an atypical fourth seed into district, Selah has risen to the level of highly successful past, reeling off four consecutive postseason wins with a 13-10 victory over EV for the district title.

For coach Mike Archer, the awakening came not so much from the EV losses, which came on separate days in April, but after getting swept by Ellensburg 6-5, 5-3 on March 30.

“Back then I think we had more faith in the guys than they had in themselves,” he said. “But they understood they had to get to work, raise the intensity and start competing a little harder. That’s exactly what they’ve done, and lately they’ve been executing the small things that win games.”

Senior pitcher Jake Monson (9-2) has been a workhorse, pitching 20 postseason innings and appearing in all four games. He shut out Prosser 3-0 in a loser-out district opener on May 2 and outdueled Cheney ace Jeremy Alderman with an eight-inning gem on Saturday.

East Valley had won 11 straight games before dropping the district final, then bounced back with a gritty 3-2 come-from-behind win over Clarkston on Saturday.

“We were down 2-0 late and the kids never got down. It was a great win for us,” Benedetti said. “We’ve had to work through a lot of health issues (two sophomore outfielders have replaced injured seniors) and early on we struggled with consistency. But getting healthier and having some kids step up has kept us going.”

Junior Ryker Ford and senior Hugo Lemus have split EV’s four postseason starts, and the pair teamed up against Clarkston with Ford working five innings and Lemus finishing the sixth and seventh.

“We’ve played Selah three times and the kids know each other so well,” Benedetti added. “It’s all about execution and who makes those crucial few plays.”

After Selah and East Valley finish their business, top-ranked Ellensburg (21-1) takes the field against Cheney (16-8) at 1 p.m. for the second first-round game.

After their 18-0 run through league play, the Bulldogs took their first loss of the season in the district semifinals, 7-5 to Selah. But Ellensburg’s bats powered the team to state, ousting Ephrata 14-9 and then knocking out East Valley of Spokane 8-2.

“After the Selah game we had maybe 10 minutes to regroup, get out there and play a loser-out game,” said coach Todd Gibson. “It was a quick talk and we all agreed: There was no way our season was going down like that. We went out and put up 14 and that’s how we’ve done it all season — just grind for everything.”

It seems certain Ellensburg will face Alderman, who threw a no-hitter against East Valley of Spokane in the GNL district title game. He and Monson were knotted at 1-1 through seven innings before Selah chased him in the eighth and won 4-1.

Michael Wyatt and Kody Graham have been Ellensburg’s postseason starters with Wyatt throwing six shutout innings in Spokane last Saturday.

“We’ve been pretty steady with the bats but our consistency on defense has really come on lately,” Gibson noted. “Sometimes it’s seemed like the baseball gods were shining on us (winning six league games by one or two runs), but we’ve got good leaders and they never stop battling.”

And while the Yaks would prefer a shorter, easier route to the NWAACC Tournament, the destination is all-important.

“Bottom line,” assistant coach Marcus McKimmy said Thursday before YVCC’s practice, “is getting to the tournament. We’d obviously prefer winning all our games and doing it that way. But getting to the tournament, no matter how we do it, is the biggest thing.”

At least this time the Yaks will be playing at home, hosting the East Region playoffs that start today at Parker Field.

Yakima Valley (29-13), ranked eighth in the newest NWAACC coaches poll, opens at 10 a.m. against Treasure Valley (25-18). Seventh ranked Columbia Basin (25-19) follows at 1 p.m. against Walla Walla (27-17).

Losers play in at 4 p.m. and the winners square off at 7.

CBC, which tied with Yakima Valley for the East Region championship but won the top playoff seed via tiebreaker, is assured an NWAACC tourney berth with the three remaining teams vying for one spot. The Hawks would ordinarily host the playoffs as the region’s top regular-season seed, but can’t due to conflicts with high school games scheduled for their field.

The Yaks, meanwhile, faced a similar scenario in last year’s playoffs at Columbia Basin, and after losing their second game won three straight — two Saturday and another Sunday — to claim YVCC’s first NWAACC berth since 2000 and the region’s top seed to boot.

Third-year head coach Ken Wilson, who has posted a 95-38 record since succeeding Ken Mortensen, has tabbed sophomore right-hander Jake Fife to start against Treasure Valley.

On May 5 at Parker, Fife fired a three-hitter in a 4-1 YVCC win. The Yaks, swept 6-5 in 11 innings and 6-4 earlier this season at TV, won the second game 9-8 for a split of their season series.

Fife, from Selah, is 6-2 with a 2.17 ERA and has been especially tough of late, allowing only five hits and one run over his last two starts and 18 innings.

Yakima Valley’s top hitters are J.R. Weigel, a sophomore shortstop from Naches Valley who’s hitting .388, and outfielder Cameron Padron, who’s at .365.

Weigel has spent much of the season in the leadoff spot, although Wilson has occasionally dropped him to the No. 3 spot.

The playoffs continue Saturday, and possibly Sunday depending on results of the first two days.

The NWAACC Tournament is scheduled for May 24-28 at Longview.

Rodriguez clocked 22.91 seconds in the 200 and 50.78 in the 400 and helped the Leopards finish the relay in 3:34.24.

The top four boys and top three girls in each event qualified for the Class 1A state meet at Eastern Washington University on May 25-26 in Cheney.

La Salle junior Matt Schwittay was a double winner in the boys 1,600 and 3,200, and Cle Elum junior Carlee Creager swept the girls 100 and 200.

1B DISTRICT

KLICKITAT IN TITLE GAME: At Goldendale, Klickitat defeated Lyle-Wishram 16-6 on Thursday to advance to Saturday’s 1 p.m. championship game.

Lyle-Wishram, which beat Thorp-Easton 10-0 on Thursday, will play T-E again on Saturday in an 11 a.m. loser-out game. That winner will play Klickitat for the single state berth.

All she’ll have to do today is hold off two former champions who are her closest pursuers.

Kieffer, from Fircrest Golf Club, fired an opening-round of 3-over par 74 to open a four-shot lead over Pat Terry and Leslie Folsom on Thursday at the Yakima Country Club.

Folsom, from the Rainier Country Club, was the 2010 winner, while Terry, from the Wenatchee Country Club, won in 1997.

Only one local golfer has won in the event’s previous 59 events and it appears that streak will continue. The closest local golfer to Kieffer is Pat Martin, but she’s 10 shots back after an 84. Nancy Eglin is another shot behind at 85.

Brenda Batali from the Yakima Country Club is the low-net leader at 68, one shot ahead of fellow country club-member Shirley Boggess.

Today’s final round begins at 9 a.m. with a shotgun start. The public is welcome to attend.

Whitaker advances in qualifying

ROSLYN, Wash. — Dan Whitaker overcame the elements and a talented field to win the U.S. Open local qualifier Thursday at Suncadia’s Rope Rider Course.

Despite wind gusting up to 25 miles per hour, Whitaker fired a 1-under par 71 to claim medalist honors and, more importantly, one of the seven spots in the U.S. Open Sectional qualifier that were up for grabs Thursday.

Whitaker started quickly, shooting a 3-under 33 on the front nine, highlighted by a hole-out eagle on the par 4 ninth hole.

“I was in the left rough and there was a hard wind from my left so I hit a punch pitching wedge and it just hooked in,” Whitaker said in a news release from the Washington State Golf Association.

Five other local golfers took part, including former Riverside Christian standout Matthew Crockett, who tied for 15th with a 75.

Ellensburg’s Keith Crimp tied for 29th at 77, Goldendale’s Zach Wanderscheid and Cle Elum’s Rylee Iacolucci were in a group tied for 36th at 78, and Selah’s Barry Walters shot a 90.

COLLEGE FASTPITCH

Yaks place 2 on all-star team

YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima Valley’s Jessie Ihly and Arlene Futch have been named to the NWAACC East Region all-star team.

Ihly, a freshman from Selah, made the first team as a designated hitter/designated player. Futch, a sophomore from Mountain Home, Idaho, made the second team as an outfielder.

“Last year, honestly, we didn’t have a very good season even though we were young. We barely made it to district and lost at Ellensburg,” he recalled. “On the way home the guys were feeling real bad about how the season had gone and I said, ‘Look, it’s up to you how you want next season to go. What will you do?’”

The answer has been an 18-1 record, 17 straight victories and a trip to Spokane on Saturday for the Class 2A state quarter-finals.

“Their work ethic has been off the charts,” said Gonzalez, who directed Top-Hi into the state’s final four in 2007 and 2010. “They made sacrifices, worked hard and stayed positive through it all. I tell them, ‘See how all that work has paid off? That’s why we’re in this position now.’”

That position, to some, would appear quite daunting. The Wildcats will be on the artificial turf at Joe Albi Stadium on Saturday at 1 p.m. to face Cheney, which is 18-0 and ranks 27th in ESPN’s Fab 50 national poll.

“We’re on a great run but the pressure and hype is on Cheney,” said Gonzalez, whose balanced team is led by the 12 goals each from the Lopez boys, Jonathan, Victor and Eric. “We’re just going to play our game and our style and get on that turf and run.”

More on state soccer

While Toppenish takes on Cheney, Davis (13-4-1) will be across town at Central Valley (12-3) for a 4A state quarterfinal that also starts at 1 p.m.

Both teams are defensive-minded. Davis’ Williams Pineda and CV’s Isaiah Van Voorhis are the offensive leaders with nine goals apiece.

This will be Davis’ first quarterfinal appearance and CV’s second.

Also on Saturday, Highland will look to extend its 18-0 season in a 1A quarterfinal against Chelan (15-5) at 1 p.m. Chelan beat Bellevue Christian 5-1 in a first-round match on Wednesday.

Jesus Gutierrez’s hat trick on Tuesday against Okanogan pushed the Highland junior to 31 goals, making him the eighth player in Valley history to top 30 goals in a season.

Player turned coach

Not many teams could survive losing a league MVP and still win a district championship, but Selah’s fastpitch team managed it last weekend.

A big reason, coach Bill Harris insists, is that the Vikings’ fallen standout — senior Mary Michael Graf — is still very much a part of the team.

“Mary’s our team leader, the glue that holds this team together, and even though she’s not on the field she’s become a coach and inspiration,” Harris said.

Graf, a four-year starter who shared last year’s CWAC MVP award with teammate Sierra Weedin, suffered a broken hand in the final league doubleheader on May 3.

The Vikings overcame Othello 11-10 in the district semifinals, then overpowered Ellensburg in the title game to clinch a state berth on their home field next week.

Selah and West Valley-Spokane, both 21-1, have first-round byes in Saturday’s regional tournament in Spokane. Four of the six teams advance to state and Ellensburg (17-5) needs to oust Clarkston to punch its state ticket.

Viks hit academic jackpot

Whenever the seasonal state academic team champions are announced, we do well to snag a couple from the Valley.

Well this spring we picked up four and three are from Selah.

The Vikings earned Class 2A state honors in fastpitch (3.695 grade-point average), boys golf (3.697) and girls track (3.740). That gives Selah four state academic champions for the school year, the volleyball team (3.803) having won the 2A title last fall.

The CWAC swept the golf state titles with Wapato (3.850) topping the 2A girls list.

Ike’s record runs

Eisenhower’s Santos Vargas broke a 23-year-old school record in the 1,600 two weeks ago and hopes to lower his 4:12.20 further. But teammate Drew Schreiber might not let his record last another 23 years.

Schreiber, who broke Ike’s freshman 400 record last year, eclipsed the school’s sophomore 800 record last week with a stunning 1:54.04 run in the CBBN 4A district meet.

“With his speed and cross country background we’re progressing toward the mile next year,” said Ike coach Phil English. “It’s just the tip of the iceberg for Drew.”

Ike’s former sophomore 800 record of 1:55.4 was set in 1994 by Chris Schafer, who went on to run 1:51.28 and win the 1996 AAA state title.

Local state baseball

In addition to the 2A state baseball at Davis, Yakima is hosting regional play in two other classifications on Saturday.

Yakima County Stadium will have two rounds of 3A play with Hazen (15-7) facing Kennewick (18-7) at 10 a.m. and Kamiakin (15-9) taking on Mt. Spokane (17-7) at 1 p.m. The winners play a 4 p.m. quarterfinal.

TOPPENISH — Over a week since capturing the CWAC district championship, Toppenish’s boys soccer team showed no signs of slowing down on Wednesday.

The Wildcats, in fact, are picking up speed.

Extending its win streak to 17 with a second straight postseason shutout, Toppenish blanked Pullman 2-0 in the first round of the Class 2A state tournament at A.C. Meagher Field.

“It was a real good defensive effort and the kids deserve a lot of credit for that,” said Toppenish coach Uriel Gonzalez. “Offensively we were a little flat but we did enough to win and continue to move forward. The defense is what came up big for us today.”

Toppenish (18-1) will travel to Spokane on Saturday for a 1 p.m. quarterfinal against unbeaten Cheney (18-0) at Joe Albi Stadium. Cheney needed double overtime to beat Othello 2-1 on Wednesday.

The Wildcats got all the scoring they would need in the first half when senior Eric Lopez scored in the 28th minute off an assist from freshman Jonathan Lopez. It was Eric’s 12th goal of the season.

Top-Hi’s defense protected that 1-0 lead until Edgar Lopez punched in an insurance goal in the 70th minute off a pass from Ivan Sabalsa.

Sophomore goalkeeper Oliver Sanchez made two saves to follow-up his five-save effort in last week’s 3-0 victory over Othello in the district final. Wednesday’s shutout was Top-Hi’s 11th of the season.

Vivek Jayaram made 12 saves for Pullman, which finished 12-6.

“We used our speed to defend as well as we did and it was great to see that effort pay off,” Gonzalez said. “Our goals at the start of the season were to win league and district and we’ve done that. Now we’re just adding as much as we can to that and go as far as we can go.”

First half: 1, Eric Lopez (Jonathan Lopez), 28:00.

Second half: 2, Edgar Lopez (Ivan Sabalsa), 70:00.

Saves: Oliver Sanchez (T) 2, Vivek Jayaram (P) 12.

YAKIMA, Wash. — Heading into the summer of 1975, Bob Garretson Jr. knew he had inherited a pretty good ballclub from his father.

Even as the Yakima Beetles Senior American Legion baseball team went through periods of up-and-down play, frustrating the first-year head coach, Garretson said he and his assistant coaches, Dale Ehler and George Perry, could see the potential in this group.

Much of their confidence was rooted in the pure athletic abilities of a team that would produce three players who eventually reached the Major Leagues (Dave Edler, Jamie Allen and Don Crow). But another chunk of their faith flowed from this group’s intangibles.

“They had a determination to get something done and had good enough athletes to get it done,” Garretson said. “They learned to discipline themselves … and were willing to take care of themselves. Little things like that bring a team together.”

As the long summer rolled on, the players proved that the coaches’ faith in them was well placed as they won another state championship, ended a 22-year drought by winning the regional title, and won the world series despite dropping their first game there.

That team and their accomplishments will be recognized Friday as part of the Beetles annual banquet. About a dozen members of the team are expected to attend the event at the Modern Living Building at State Fair Park.

“As good as we were, we didn’t focus very well,” said Edler, who was a fourth-year player that summer having just completed his freshman year at Washington State University. “We had very good older leadership and incredibly good younger players.

“Toward the middle of the season, we peaked. Coach Bob Garretson got us playing our best ball. Once we got to the postseason, we knew we couldn’t be beat.”

Both Edler and Garretson said one of the biggest challenges in that postseason run came after winning the regional title.

“From that point on, we had to fight the idea that we had achieved our goal,” Edler said. “We discussed between the team that we had not achieved our goal. We said we were not just going there to have fun, let’s go there to win it.”

“From experience, I know a lot of teams are just happy to be there,” Garretson said. “They went at it like a job.”

Not even a first-round loss to California could derail this group.

“I remember walking out of the park after that loss,” Garretson said, “and Dave Edler was walking alongside me and he said, ‘Don’t worry coach, we’ll get it tomorrow.’ They did.”

Yakima narrowly defeated New Hampshire before eliminating two-time defending champion Puerto Rico. As one of three 3-1 teams left, the Beetles got a little luck, drawing a bye while Cedar Rapids, with ex-big league pitcher Mike Boddicker, defeated California. Yakima, behind Edler, who went 15-1 as a pitcher that summer, then beat Cedar Rapids 8-4 in the title game to cap a 50-22 season.

“As any athlete would say, when you’re winning, it’s fun and we were having fun,” said Edler, noting that a rallying point for the team was the Bachman-Turner Overdrive song “Takin’ Care of Business,” which he said played constantly on the team bus’ 8-track player. “We played that tape until it died.

“It was a tight group and we were good friends. It was just a great summer — one of the true highlights of my life.”
