End of an era for Mt. Rainier and Highline baseball coaches

SLIDESHOW

May 07, 2012

By Kyle Howard

Plenty of fans and former players turned up to see the final regular season game of Mount Rainier head coach Darrin Rawie and Highline head coach Dave Larson. Larson has coached the Pirates for 17 seasons and Rawie has coached Mount Rainier for 12 seasons. It was also senior night for Highline, as they say goodbye to nine seniors.

Mount Rainier put a run on the board right away with a leadoff home run by Jon Culver to left field. Highline answered back in the bottom of the first to tie the game at 1-1. In the top of the fifth with a tie game at 3-3 Mount Rainier’s Logan Wagner had a bit of an embarrassing moment. Wagner hit a solo home run, and after making his way around the bases and being greeted by his teammates he was called out on an appeal by Highline for missing first base, which took away what would have been the go ahead run.

Kennedy Catholic was looking for some revenge against the Highline girls fastpitch team Wednesday, May 2 after losing to them, 16-6, April 5. Kennedy was one game behind Highline and needed this win for the first place tie.

The Lancers' bats started off hot early in the game, scoring one run in the first and six runs in the second. Lancer starting pitcher Kate Lewis threw a great game, going 6 2/3 innings and striking out eight. The Lancers' bats died off a bit after their huge six run second inning.
