The miracle season came to an end for the Kentridge High baseball team late Thursday night.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Chargers could not hold on to a 3-0 lead after three innings and fell to Federal Way at Art Wright Memorial Field 5-4 in a loser-out West Central\/Southwest 4A Bi-District tournament game.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kentridge (14-9) advanced to the winner-to-state game thanks to a 7-1 victory over Kentlake Tuesday afternoon. The Chargers, however, couldn’t sustain the momentum in a loss to Federal Way, which took third at state a year ago. The Chargers were trying to advance to the state tournament for the first time since 2003.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Early on, it appeared the Chargers would accomplish just that. Joe Wainhourse delivered a two-run single in the first inning, giving Kentridge a quick 2-0 lead. Kentridge pushed its lead to 3-0 in the third on a fielder’s choice out that scored Michael Suguro from third.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, pitcher Nick Hamre was in control on the mound as he was perfect through three innings with six strikeouts.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Federal Way got to Hamre in the fourth. Drew Cratsenberg broke up the no hitter and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Austin Weber. Federal Way added two more runs in the inning to tie the game 3-3. Weber scored on a Kentridge error and Brett Evans later tied the game on a single by Darrien Moran.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nick Tanielu, Federal Way’s first-team All-League shortstop, put the Eagles up for good in the fifth with a single to right field that scored Cratsenberg. Tanielu came home moments later on a single by Moran, giving Federal Way a 5-3 lead.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kentridge cut the deficit to 5-4 in the sixth on a sacrifice fly to left field by Sheldon Stober that scored Axl Snure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kentridge’s Kyle Leady led off the seventh with a double, but was left stranded.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
