TAHOMA GOLD 
in 
First Place!!!

Way to go CRMS!!!

The boys in Gold bring home another W for the Bears playing 10, count ‘em 10, complete, grueling innings!!! Tahoma Gold now 3 and 1 for league.

Coleman Wooten started us off in a positive roll facing Northwood’s 3 top batters with 9 pitches; striking out the first, inducing ground outs by the second and third hitters. The bottom of the first finds Tahoma Gold with two outs and our 3rd, 4th, and fifth batters all on base with Hunter Hoggarth arriving on a single shot to center, being moved to second by Coleman Wooten who then occupies first with a well placed bunt and then both advancing once again on over to third and second by Nate Brown’s fine eye getting a base on balls. Two outs and two strikes later we find    Joe Joe Jimenez in the sixth spot driving every bit of a screamer to center for a 3 RBI double. Tahoma Gold now up 3-0.

Northwood  ties it up in the top of the third only to find the Bears ahead by two in the bottom of the third as Nate scores Cole with a double to right on the fly and Jake Jenkins then scores Nate on a walk. Northwood ties it up once again in the top of the fifth and the game remains tied for the next consecutive 4 innings as Hunter Hoggarth’s pitching keeps Northwood at bay until the bottom of the tenth. Yes, tenth!

The top of the tenth Connor Johnson comes in to relieve Hunter and he gets himself out of a tight spot with bases loaded with the help of the Bears tight defense. Bottom of the tenth finds the game still tied 5-5 with the Bears at the top of the order. Jake gets walked. Matt gets walked. Hunter hits a bomb to right that gets caught. Cole is intentionally walked. Bases are now loaded with one out. Nate Brown steps up to the plate and on his fifth pitch he unloads a shot in the hole at right on the fly for a single!!! He scores Jake! Game over! Tahoma wins 6-5. Can you say “phew?”

Tahoma Gold plays their next game at home against Meeker on Tuesday, May 12th. Come out and support your Bears!!!

The offensive highlight of the game was a 3 run homerun by Matt Thompson. Multiple players contributed to the offensive barrage with the game being broken open in the 3rd inning as the Bears sent 13 batters to the plate, scoring 10 runs. RBI production was scattered throughout the line up including 2 for Cole, 2 for Austin, 2 for Jake and 1 for Joe Joe. Matt Thompson earned the win on the mound on his pitching debut for Cedar River recording 13 strike outs in five innings. Way to go Bears!!!

at Kent Memorial Park, Field #3 (Field B)

These are a bunch of Bears you don’t want to invite over for dinner. The Tahoma Gold Bears proved to be a voracious bunch with an appetite for runs as they chewed and then swallowed The Mill Creek Bulldogs yesterday afternoon on the Bulldogs home field with a 14-1 mauling in five complete innings. A strong pitching effort by Aaron Vaughan, who recorded 8 strikeouts in 3 innings of work, followed by Ryan Blevins who recorded 2 K’s in the final two innings, kept the Bulldog hitters stifled. The Bear’s offensive barrage set aside any hope of the Bulldogs biting back as the game was put out of reach early. Offensive highlights included Matt Thompson hitting a triple, double and a single with 2 RBIs; Aaron Vaughan with 2 singles and 3 RBIs; Daniel Cook with 2 singles and an RBI; Kyle Cummings with a double and 3 RBIs; Kaelyn Young with a single and an RBI; Connor Johnson with two singles ;Jake Jenkins with a single and both Hunter Hoggarth and Coleman Wooten with an RBI. This puts the Bears at 5 and 1 for league. Way to go Tahoma Gold! See the Bears continue their rampage tomorrow,   May 19^th, when they play Meridian Junior High on Meridian’s home field at 3:45.

This brings Tahoma Gold to 6 and 1 in league! Yeah Bears! Once again the Tahoma pitching was stifling as both Connor Johnson and Ryan Blevins limited the Monarchs to just two hits with no runs scored. Connor recorded 8 strike outs in 4 innings of work and Ryan Blevins closed the game at the bottom of the fifth with only 8 pitches. The offensive outburst was lead by Kaelyn Young with 2 hits and 3 RBIs and Aaron Vaughan with 1 hit and 3 RBIs.

Our Tahoma Gold Bears came out growling and left the Timberwolves howling from a 15-2 victory by the Bears at our 8th SPSL season game today. That makes us now 7 and 1 in league! Way to go Bears! Once again the pitching held its end of the deal by limiting the Timberwolves to two runs on 3 hits. The duties were shared by Coleman Wooten and Aaron Vaughan. Coleman Wooten recorded the win by pitching the first four innings and striking out 8. Aaron Vaughan sealed the deal in the fifth and final inning. The bats were blazing as Tahoma had 15 runs on 10 hits. Hunter Hoggarth, Nate Brown and Kaelyn Young contributed to the blaze with two hits apiece, while Austin Baranska, Matt Thompson, Joe Joe Jimenez and Aaron Vaughan fanned the flames with hits as well.

Game #9
Wednesday, 5/27
Tahoma Gold vs Mattson
at CRMS
3:45 game time

Well, well, well Bear fans, there’s a new SPSL Seventh Grade Championship Team in town and they go by the name of Tahoma Gold!!! Congratulations to our Tahoma Gold Bears for capturing the SPSL Seventh Grade League Title with their 7-5 win against Mattson Junior High on our home field at CRMS, Wednesday evening. For all intents and purposes this was the championship game as Tahoma Gold needed this win to claim solo possession of the league title. A loss to the Mustangs would have caused a sharing of said title and though our boys are definitely a friendly bunch, they were not about to share!  Due to the expert pitching of Hunter Hoggarth, with seven strike outs, and the fierce defense of our Bears in Gold, there’s only one #1 team in league! Yeah Tahoma Gold!!!

The fireworks flew early when Matt Thompson followed a leadoff single by Nate Brown with a towering two run home run over the center field fence in the bottom half of the first inning. The score remained 2-0 Tahoma, until the top of the fourth when the Mustangs decided to make it interesting and scored three runs despite Hunter striking out their 2^nd, 4^th and 8^th batters. Tahoma then answered back in the bottom of the fourth scoring runs on three hits including a two RBI single by Connor Johnson scoring Jake Jenkins and Joe Joe Jimenez , bringing the Bears in Gold up 6-3.

The Mustangs got one back in the top of the fifth bringing the score to 6-4, which we promptly took back with another run of our own in the bottom of the fifth with an RBI single by Hunter Hoggarth making the score now 7-4 Tahoma.

The sixth inning was held in check by both sides. The seventh brought one more run for the Mustangs making the score 7-5, but it was not enough to overcome neither the tight Bear defense nor the command performance Hunter Hoggarth delivered on the mound.

The Tahoma Gold Bears close out their championship season on Friday, May 29th in ‘The Battle of the Bears Part Two’ as they play their Bear brother s from Tahoma Middle School at TMS, 3:45 game time. Please come support our Bears in Gold in their final game of their championship season!!! Go Gold!!!

Way to go Gold!!!

The battle began as each visiting Bear in Gold got up, got on and scored. The pressure was kept on as each inning scored a minimum of two runs ending the game early after five complete innings.

Coleman Wooten takes the win on the mound as well as the credit for 5 RBI’s. Aaron Vaughan had two doubles and 3 RBI’s. Matt Thompson had a single, double and 3 RBI’s. Hunter Hoggarth had one double, two singles and 2 RBI’s. Joe Joe Jimenez had a 2 RBI double along with Kyle Cummings. Nate Brown had a double, single and an RBI. Cody Visaya had a double with an RBI.
