The Sumner High baseball squad will be heading into the second season as either the third or fourth seed out the South Puget Sound League 2A, depending on how things play out during this final week of the regular season.

The Spartans owned a 9-4 league record heading into a  make-up contest slated to be played at league champion White River’s digs last Thursday, but weather did not allow it to happen, as the Hornets’ diamond had a little problem with late-April snow.

That match-up was then postponed until Monday and how the Spartans are eventually seeded hinges on the outcome of that encounter, as well as how Fife does in its last tandem of regular season tilts this week.

Either way Sumner was outstanding Friday, heading down the backstretch against Steilacoom in the only game it played last week.

Steilacoom pitcher Micah Donor relinquished a dozen hits to Sumner, which did not make an error in the field for the third game running, which helped Sumner pitcher Seth Morgan earn the win on the mound. Spartan senior Tyler Hidalgo was hotter than a pepper sprout at the plate going 4-for-4 with a double and bringing in five runs. Brad Falk and Tanner Brinkman both went 2-for-2.

Hidalgo & Co. will be looking to create lightening in a bottle again when he joins the rest of Sumner’s sluggers in the 2A subdistrict tournament this weekend. SHS will play at 7 p.m. Friday staged at Olympic High School if the Spartans are the No. 3 seed; they will play at 7 p.m. at the Russell Road complex in Kent if they go as No. 4.
