PHOTOS BY KEVIN HANSON Things were pretty quiet last week on the White River High athletic scene as the school district observed spring break. An exception came the afternoon of April 4 when both the Hornet baseball and fastpitch squads hosted nonleague opponents on the Buckley campus. Things went well for the home teams: the girls put together a big 11-run second inning on the way to a 14-1 triumph over the Eatonville Cruisers; the boys had a tougher time, trailing 1-0 after four innings but eventually scoring five runs in the fifth and claiming a 5-1 win. Pictured here are starting pitchers Elliotte Kajita (#19) and Aaden Rathbun; also shown is White River’s Ellie Friis, beating out an infield hit.

Here, Enumclaw junior Karson Holt gets a good lead off second base while White River shortstop Ty Jacobs guards the bag. The action came midway through the Wednesday contest that resulted in a five-inning, 11-1 victory for EHS.
