Scores, highlights and updates from prep sports in Issaquah and Sammamish.

Baseball

Issaquah 1 Kentridge 0

The Eagles got a combined shutout on the mound from pitchers Ryan Peart, David Van Halm and Tyler Huling, and the game winning RBI with no outs in the seventh inning on a Matt Sarkozy double to beat Kentridge 1-0 in the season opener.

The Chargers mounted an early threat on an error and passed ball, before having a runner caught stealing home to end the inning. Peart, Van Halm and Huling, who picked up the win in one inning of relief, kept Kentridge to four hits.

Mitchell Morimoto began the bottom of the seventh with a triple before Sarkozy knocked him in for the game winning run on Issaquah’s only two extra base hits of the game.

The Crusaders used four innings on the mound from Bill Dimlow to get the win.

“Our defense played very well,” he told U.S. Lacrosse Washington.  “We have a very talented squad, but we have to make sure that we gel as a team.”

Cullen Payne scored three goals for Eastlake and Chase Barlow added two more in the loss.
