Synergy channels energy into second
The Enumclaw/Maple Valley based Washington Synergy fastpitch girls traveled east June 4 and 5 and participated in the ASA Tormaschy Memorial Tournament in Yakima.
Synergy’s aggressive play and base running caught the first day’s opponents off guard and earned it the No. 1 seed into Day 2’s championship bracket. Continuing where they left off, the girls run-ruled two teams setting up a championship game against Ellensburg Synergy, also 5-0. The game was a back-and-forth battle where Washington Synergy, with runners in scoring position, came up one hit short in the seventh inning and lost to the solid Ellensburg girls 4-3.
Salsbury wins Boise invitational
Tyler Salsbury won the John Dropping Invitational in Boise, Idaho, June 6 and 7. The Enumclaw High junior played three rounds of 4-over par at Hillcrest Country Club to beat a field with a number of players that will be playing college golf next year.
Lubking, Koenig play in state game
The two Plateau representatives at the all-state baseball series in Yakima Saturday, White River High’s Trevor Lubking and Enumclaw’s Eric Koenig, both managed to stand out in the constellation of stars.
The series is comprised of four squads of seniors from all classifications playing for teams labeled Mount St. Helens, Mount Baker, Mount Adams and Mount Rainier.
Lubking, who recorded a 2.15 earned-run average and an 8-2 personal mark in pitching 65 innings for WRHS during the 2011 campaign, pitched four innings and did not allow a hit for the Mount Rainier contingent. Koenig played for the Mount Baker squad and was not given much to hit while batting cleanup the most of the time.
Koenig’s Mount Baker cohorts did reward him for his outstanding defensive endeavors as they signed a batting helmet and presented it to him for his errorless ways.
