POULSBO — Brianna Hoffman hit a grand slam and drove in five runs to support a solid pitching performance by Mackenzie Wagner as North Kitsap defeated Kingston 13-1 in 4 1/2 innings on April 13.

Hoffman smashed a 1-1 offering over the left field fence in the bottom of the third to break open the tied ballgame and give North Kitsap a 5-1 lead. The Vikings followed up with eight more runs in the fourth to trigger the mercy rule.

Wagner gave up just one run on four hits in four innings and struck out four. She also helped herself at the plate, driving in three runs, including a two-run double in the fourth on a ball struck well into the left-center field gap to extend the lead to 9-1.

Sarah Smith went 2 for 2 and drove in three runs; Genevive Keller went 1 for 2 with a walk and also added an RBI.

The Bucs scored the first run of the game on an RBI-single by Lucy Schaeffer in the top of the third inning. Catcher Meghan Fenwick led off the frame with a double and took third on an error. Schaeffer then laced a single to right field to give Kingston a short-lived lead.

SILVERDALE — Mason Joe, Josh Connolly and Matt Frank all hit the back of the net as the Eagles extended their record to 7-2-1 on the season with a big victory over 2A Sequim.

Joe opened the scoring early with a goal in which he flipped the ball up over the keeper from close range. Sequim’s Hayuk Minano scored a goal early in the second half, but with the wind at their backs, the Eagles’ speed became too much for the Wolves. In the 65th minute, Connolly hit a hard, low shot that took a deflection off a Sequim defender and into the net to give Klahowya a 2-1 lead. Frank slid a ball past the keeper off a great feed from Darius Joe to ice the victory.
