Rain wreaks havoc on scheduling

KITSAP COUNTY — A steady stream of rain has postponed much of the action in baseball, fastpitch and tennis this week. Many of today’s games have already been postponed as of 12:30 p.m. Games in Sequim and Port Townsend are currently still on as those cities tend to experience drier weather than the rest of the West Sound and are likely less affected by the storms. The boys soccer schedule is still intact as most schools play on turf fields capable of withstanding precipitation.

The rainouts will certainly put pressure on some teams since there are only about three weeks left in the regular season. The North Kitsap baseball team currently has seven games scheduled for the next 10 days, while Kingston has six. Those two teams are still scheduled to play at 4:15 p.m. today at North Kitsap. This story will be updated in the event of a postponement there as well.

Central Kitsap 2, Gig Harbor 2

EAST BREMERTON — A late goal by the Tides forced Central Kitsap to settle for a 2-2 draw on Thursday. Logan Field opened the scoring with a goal in the 33rd minute. Gig Harbor tied it up just after halftime, and Dom Murray gave the Cougars a go-ahead goal in the 69th minute. However, Gig Harbor took advantage of a late free kick opportunity to tie the game.
