For a moment early in the game against Kentlake, it looked like things weren’t going to go well for Tahoma after Bears starting pitcher Brandon Fokkema gave up a 2-run homerun to give Kentlake a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning.

Then Fokkema buckled down, striking out six over the complete game 3-2 victory for Tahoma, as he scattered eight hits while walking two batters.

Tahoma answered in the bottom of the first, tying it up at 2-2, then got the go ahead run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the third.

From there it was a battle between the Bears and the Falcons but neither were able to generate any more runs.

Connor Cloyd, a senior captain for Tahoma, finished 3-for-4 at the plate with a run scored while Troy LaBrie went 2-for-4 with a run scored.
