Wolves Softball Clinches State Berth
By KLAS STOLPE
Sentinel Staff Writer
The Sitka High softball team needed to win one of two conference games at Ketchikan over the weekend to secure a berth into the Alaska School Activities Association State Tournament on Anchorage’s Cartee Fields, May 30 - June 1.
They won both.
The Wolves (10-2) defeated the Lady Kings (6-6) by the score of 11-1 on Friday and 10-7 on Saturday, to guarantee they will travel to state no lower than the Southeast number 2 seed by virtue of having the best regular season record.
Sitka senior Miah Dumag shut down the Lady Kings on Friday, pitching a run-rule shortened contest over five innings.
Dumag used just 55 pitches, allowed five hits and 1 run, while striking out three batters and walking one.
Dumag helped her cause by going 3-4 at the plate, scored 2 runs and had 2 runs batted in.
Seniors Nyla Duncan and Calista Gallant scored 2 runs apiece; seniors Abby Forrester, Avery Voron, and Kyleigh McArthur, junior Baylee Pearson, and sophomore Tyla Gleason 1 each. Duncan had 2 RBI, Forrester, Gallant, and McArthur 1 RBI each.

On Saturday the Wolves trailed 7-5 entering the top of the seventh inning and scored 5 runs for the lead including a two-run homer by Dumag. The Wolves defense held as Forrester fielded two line drive outs in center field and catcher McArthur threw out a base runner to end the night with Duncan making the put out.
Sophomore Makenna Smith started for two innings (5 H, 3 R) and Dumag relieved for five (7 H, 4 R, 2 SO).
Dumag again had a stellar day, going 4-5 (3 R, 3 RBI). Forrester and Pearson had 2 RBI, freshman Chloe Morrison 1; Duncan, Gallant, and Pearson had 2 RBI apiece, Morrison 1. Morrison had 3 hits, Gleason and Forrester 2 each, Duncan and Pearson 1.
Sitka is also the top seed in the Southeast Region V Tournament being played on the Wolves own Moller Field beginning Thursday. If Sitka wins the tournament they will be the SE number 1 seed at state, and the team they beat will travel as the SE number two.
Sitka will open region tourney play on Thursday at 6 p.m. against Juneau-Douglas (0-12).
Thunder Mountain (8-4) defeated JDHS over the weekend and will open region tourney play against Ketchikan on Thursday at 3 p.m.
The tournament is a double elimination format.
