Nolan Crist was 2-for-2 with two doubles and an RBI, Rylan Koozer was 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI, and Drew White drove in two runs.

Willamette 9, Sheldon 7: The Wolverines picked up a quality nonleague victory over a local 6A opponent as the regular season winds to a close. Willamette (19-3, 12-2) has won 15 games in a row by a combined score of 176-36, with six of those being shutouts.

SOFTBALL

Sheldon 8, Marist 1: In a nonleague showdown between two of the area’s best softball teams, Sheldon romped past Marist as the two squads tune up for the state playoffs. Sheldon (22-5) is ranked No. 8 in the Class 6A coaches poll and Marist (22-2) is ranked No. 1 in the 4A poll, but the Irish had the upper hand in Tuesday’s game, scoring three runs in the first inning and leaning on a strong pitching performance from sophomore Payton Burnham, who struck out 14 batters and allowed just two hits. Fellow sophomore Kinley Pappas had a huge day at the plate, going 3-for-4 with three home runs and five RBIs. Molly Blanchette went 3-for-3 with a double, Tori Leyba was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and Burnham added an RBI double.
