It was a big week for the Enumclaw High baseball boys.

The Hornets played four games and came away with three wins, setting the team in position for the playoff race.

A high school baseball season slips by quickly and coaches have little time to bring their teams together.

EHS coach Eric Fiedler appears to have his young team hitting its stride at the right time.

The Hornets played South Puget Sound League 3A-leading Peninsula High twice, beating the Seahawks 4-1 at home April 2 and losing an extra-inning battle on the road 5-4 Friday.

Enumclaw is now tied with Auburn Mountainview for second with a 5-3 record. Peninsula continues to sit atop the standings with a 6-1 record.

In the victory over Peninsula, Kevin Nelson picked up the win. Tyler Carlson put one over the fence going 3-3.

In the loss to Peninsula, Carlson knocked two home runs and Tyler Hoffman went two-for-three with a homer.

Between the Peninsula battles, the Hornets beat Lakes twice. The Hornets won 12-2 April 4 and 15-0 Thursday.

Bryce Peterson picked up the win April 4 and Shayne Sanborn was the winning pitcher Thursday.

Enumclaw is scheduled to play at Auburn Mountainview at 7 tonight, Wednesday.
