Yesterday (4/23), the Pirates capped off a beautiful and sunny day on Vashon by defeating the visiting Eagles from Life Christian 4-1. Chris Pieterick turned in a great performance for Vashon by pitching a one hit complete game and striking out ten batters along the way. After allowing the Eagles their lone run in the first inning, Pieterick slammed the door and pitched shutout baseball the rest of the way. The Pirate offense was led by Max Bean who was 2 for 3 with an RBI single and a triple. Byron Starkey was also 2 for 3 with two singles and an RBI. Also getting hits were Justin Calhoun with a double and Pieterick with a single. Lester Gannaw made several nice plays at first base and Calhoun made some nice stops and throws over at third base. The line on the game saw Life Christian with 1 run, 1 hit, and 4 errors, while Vashon had 4 runs, 6 hits, and 1 error. The Pirates now stand 6-2 in league and are one game behind both Chimacum and Orting, who are tied for first place at 7-1. Next up is a road game on 4/25 at Seattle Christian. Come on out and support your team.
