Tyee 5, Highline 5
It's a time of suspense for the Tyee and Highline baseball teams.
The two teams fought bravely through the rain at Moshier Field this past Friday, only to have the score left in a 5-5 tie through seven innings of play after the rain and puddles became too much to continue.
For now the game will be left in a tie, although it may be finished at a later date.
"Hopefully we can finish the game," said Highline head coach David Johnson, whose team stands at 3-3-1 including the tie.
Johnson was impressed with the game's action on the field so far.
"It was a hard fought game," Johnson said. "The guys played solid defense. I have a lot of kudos for Jermaine, their coach. Tyee has come a long way."
Johnson, who is assisted by Ed Sullivan, is in his first year as the Highline coach.
"Hopefully things will pick up the last part of the season," he said.
Leading the way for the Pirates was Jordan Sagmoen, who struck out nine on the mound, while teammate Dave Erickson hit 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and one RBI batting in the leadoff position.
Tyee had four doubles.
Highline got the early jump on the Totems, scoring one run in the bottom of the third. Tyee answered with one in the top of the fourth before the Pirates erupted for four runs in the bottom of the fourth.
Tyee was not phased by the rally, answering with its own four-run rally in the top of the fifth.
The 5-5 score remained until the rain brought the action to a premature end.
Next up, Tyee hosts Foster for a 3:30 p.m. game Wednesday and Highline is on the road at Hazen. Renton visits Highline at the same time Friday and Tyee goes to Lindbergh.
