Baseball

Soccer

? Wahluke over powers a first time Granger team

The Warriors came out kicking, despite the high winds and non-regulation soccer pitch, on Tuesday night to win 3-0 over a newly formed Granger team. Wahluke had 21 shots on goal compared to Granger's three and Wahluke keeper Fernando Munos had two saves on the night. Wahluke's first goal came in the second minute of the match — Sigi Pulido connected with Aldo Zamora for the score. Ernesto Rodriguez found the back of the net again in the 59th minute and Aldo Zamora had another goal in the 66th minute. Coach Tony Langdon said that officiating was the one low spot during an otherwise triumphant night. With a lopsided foul tally, Wahluke 27, Granger 6, the game never established the rhythm the Warriors are used to. Wahluke's next match is at home on Thursday where they will take on Kiona-Benton.

? Othello goes down in shoot out

On a cold night in Pullman, Othello lost their soccer match on Tuesday 4-2 in a shoot-out. While Othello out shot Pullman 19-17, they were unable to find the back of the net during regulation. At the end of 80 minutes the score was tied 0-0. During the shoot-out, Othello hit their first two kicks but were able to score another goal. Coach Bernie Garza said the game was defensive in nature with two excellent keepers guarding Pullman's goal.

? Knights dedicate win over KiBe to the missing

Carlos Barajas was tripped in the ninth minute of the game giving Royal City their their second goal in the game. The first came when Raoul Guerrero found Juan Salas in the 5th minute. Salas would go on to score again in the 21st and assist a goal by Guerrero in the 32nd minute. Guerrero found the back of the net in the 23rd minute as well with the help of Barajas. Ivan Arroyo, normally a goal keeper, scored a goal in the 59th minute on a Guerrero assist. Quetzal Bustos scored the Knight's last two goals of the night — one in the 68th minute with the help of Daniel Ocampo and another in the 79th minute with an assist by Ernesto Deras. In all there were 9 goals scored by Royal City compared to Kiona-Benton's 2. Coach Darren Christensen said the team wanted to dedicate tonight's game to two fallen classmates.
