The Evergreen Wolverines hosted the Tyee Totems in a Seamount league girls fast pitch matchup April 18.

Evergreen came in looking for their first win of the season, and Tyee looked to add another W to their record after a hitting a rough patch after a positive 2-0 start on the season. Evergreen has shown power this season, putting up 7 or more runs in 3 of their first 6 games, including 7 in a game against league contender Lindbergh.

Tyee jumped out front, earning 3 runs in the first inning and adding another 2 runs in the 2nd giving them a comfortable 5-0 lead. Tyee kept up the pressure in the 3rd by adding 2 runs but stranding 3 runners. Evergreen found their bats and, with the bases loaded, took advantage of an errant pick off attempt at third to score 2 runs. After 3 innings, Tyee was up 8-2.

Evergreen turned the tables in the 4th and 5th innings, outscoring Tyee 5-1, including a double by Tae Johnson in the 5th that turned into a 3 run round trip due to a Tyee error. That brought Evergreen within 2 with a score of 9-7.

Tyee and Evergreen battled in the 6th, with Tyee putting one run on the board and entering the final inning 10-7.

Tyee opened it up and scored 4 runs in the 7th. Evergreen fought hard and scored 2 but were left short.

Final score Tyee 14, Evergreen 9.
