Mountlake Terrace 1, Marysville Pilchuck 0
Shevenko’s great throw saves the Hawks Outfielder catches fly ball, throws out tying run at the plate By David Krueger Herald Writer
SHORELINE — It took seven innings, but the Marysville Pilchuck baseball team finally had its opportunity to score. Until Mountlake Terrace center fielder Jason Shevenko ruined the Tomahawks’ plans. Shevenko, who hit an RBI double in the first inning to score the game’s only run, caught a fly ball in mid-center field and threw out a Marysville Pilchuck runner trying to score on the play. The double play
ended the game and preserved Mountlake Terrace’s 1-0 victory in the winnerto-state 3A District 1 playoff
game Tuesday afternoon at Meridian Park Ball Field. The players piled on top of each other to celebrate as the Hawks clinched a spot in Saturday’s district championship game where Mountlake Terrace plays Glacier Peak, 1-0 winners over Shorewood Tuesday night, at 2 p.m. “That’s baseball. I’m just proud of the kids,” Mountlake Terrace head coach Andrew Watters said. “What a great play by Jason Shevenko there to end the game. You don’t See HAWKS, Page C2

Seattle wastes Iwakuma’s eight shutout innings By Bob Dutton The News Tribune
game. The victory clinched a berth to state and the Bruins advanced to face Snohomish for the district title Thursday at Monroe High School. Brandon Wright scored both goals for Kamiak (10-5-2), which now faces a tough path to join Cascade at state. The Knights face Mount Vernon on Thursday at Monroe in a loser-out game. If Kamiak survives that, then the Knights would need to beat the Kingco No. 3 to advance to state. Cascade has taken the underdog role to new heights. Despite their turnaround, the Bruins
SEATTLE — All for nothing. Eight masterful innings by Hisashi Iwakuma slipped away Tuesday night when Fernando Rodney yielded two runs in the ninth inning in what, for the Seattle Mariners, was a numbing 2-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Safeco Field. Rodney served up a leadoff homer to David DeJesus but retired the next two hitters before three straight singles produced the winning run. It was a nightmarish first appearance by Rodney against his former club. Matt Joyce’s third single of the game scored pinch-runner Sean Rodriguez from second. Rodney exited, to loud boos, after a walk loaded the bases. Danny Farquhar stranded the three runners by striking out Ryan Hanigan, but the damage was done. Rays ace David Price (4-3) closed out a complete game with a scoreless ninth. Rodney (1-2) had recorded saves in 11 of his 12 previous opportunities. Iwakuma delivered eight dazzling innings in a marquee pitching matchup against Price before DeJesus greeted Rodney by sending a 96-mph fastball into the right-field seats. It got worse with two outs. James Loney poked a single into center. Desmond Jennings followed with a hard grounder through shortstop Brad Miller for a single that moved Rodriguez to second. Joyce sent a sinking liner into center for an RBI single. It was terrific stuff for eight innings. The Mariners nicked Price for one run in the first inning, and Iwakuma made it stand up. All that was needed was for Rodney to close out the 1-0 victory.

Agyei’s game-winner earns Cascade a state tournament berth By Nick Patterson Herald Writer
MUKILTEO — On April 7, Cascade High School’s boys soccer team was 1-5-1, and the Bruins thoughts weren’t on how far they’d go in the postseason, but on what it would take to avoid the basement in the Wesco 4A South. Who could have imagined that five weeks later the Bruins would be punching their ticket to the state tournament? Samuel Agyei headed in Spencer Bowlden’s long throw-in deep into second-half extra time, giving the Bruins a dramatic
3-2 victory over Kamiak in a 4A District 1 winner-to-state game at Kamiak High School — and writing yet another chapter in Cascade’s remarkable turnaround. “To be honest with you, not a chance,” first-year Cascade coach Sam Croft responded when asked if he thought his team would make it to state when it was 1-5-1. “It’s taken a

turnaround. These guys believe in each other, they believe in the system we run, and they believe they can do things that are greater than just themselves. “This is a dream season,” Croft added. “These guys are so great. We knew we could run with Kamiak. We knew we could play against them. We just had to build ourselves into actually believing we could. Obviously that was such a fantastic throw (by Bowlden). It’s just awesome.” Agyei finished with two goals, Bowlden set up two with long throws and Jake Pittsenbarger also scored for Cascade (10-62) in an emotionally-charged
