The second season begins.

With the No. 3 seed from the Olympic League, Sequim’s Wolves are headed to districts with a 15-4 mark and, with at least two wins, on their way to the state tourney.

Sequim spilt a pair of league games last week and, with district seedings already decided, coaches agreed to forgo the Wolves’ season finale at North Kitsap scheduled for May 16.

The Wolves finished one game behind Olympic and the cancelled game wouldn’t have mattered because the Trojans held the tie-breaker with the Wolves, said Sequim High School athletic director Dave Ditlefsen.

In the first round of the double-elimination West Central District tournament, the Wolves take on Evergreen (10-9), the No. 4 team out of the Seamount League, at

2 p.m. Friday, May 20, at Tacoma’s Sprinker Fields.

The winner of that contest takes on the winner of Fife/North Kitsap at 6 p.m. that day while the losing squads battle in a loser-out game at 4 p.m.

Play resumes on May 21, with six of the 16 teams at districts earning state berths.

“Evergreen is very beatable,” Sequim coach Mike McFarlen said. “Chances are we will play Fife. They have good pitching but we can beat them. We seem to do better against teams we don’t see in league. We don’t know them and they don’t know us.”

First baseman Kaylee Gumm will sit out the postseason with an injured wrist for the Wolves, so McFarlen said the coaching staff still is deciding what to do to fill her spot in the lineup.

McFarlen said their defense has been strong most of the season and he’ll look to focus in on bringing out some of the team’s other quality attributes.

“We have the capability of hitting the ball well,” he said. “We’ll try to utilize our speed a little bit more too.”

Port Angeles is the top seed out of the Olympic League; the Roughriders (20-0) open against Franklin Pierce.

The state 2A fastpitch tourney is scheduled for May 27-28 at Carlon Park in Selah.

Bentz sisters help SHS beat Buccaneers

McKenzie Bentz scored the game’s first run, hit the game-winning, two-RBI single in the fourth inning and tossed a complete game as the Wolves edged Kingston 3-2 in Kingston on May 12 in what wound up being SHS’s final regular season game.

Sequim out-hit Kingston 10-4 but the Buccaneers plated two runs in the bottom of the fourth to trim the Wolves’ lead to a one run and put runners on third base in the sixth and seventh innings before Sequim escaped with a win.

Jordan Bentz had a triple and an RBI and Nicole Anders went 2-for-3.
