Friday Harbor softball team closes league play with victory

posted 05/10/06
Friday Harbor 's softball team completed Northwest A/B League action with an 8-2 victory over La Conner Tuesday, May 9.

"We played really, really, really well," said Friday Harbor coach Kevin Carlton. "We hit, pitched and fielded well."

Senior Kelsey earned the win and freshman Brooke Jangard ripped the ball over the left fielder's head for "a birthday triple," Carlton said. Kiersten Radden-Wold had strong game at the plate and Sunny Pascoe performed well in the field, their coach said.

Friday Harbor seniors Natalie Chevalier, Katie Shanks, Sarah Anderson and Beth Kelsey made their final appearance on their home field. "They are four of the best seniors I've ever coached," said Carlton said. "They are great leaders and great kids. We're going to miss them."

The Wolverines finished league play in second place with a 7-3 record. They are 13-5 overall.

Friday Harbor finishes the regular season with a non-league doubleheader against Bellevue Christian at Hidden Valley Sports Park. The Wolverines and Vikings are scheduled to meet again on Wednesday, May 17 at the same site. The winner of that playoff game will advance to the state tournament.
