More than 500 youth baseball players arrived in the Olympic Peninsula for tournaments this week, according to Peninsula Daily News. The Wilder 14U team opened with a win, while the Wilder 10U team recorded a 2-0 victory in their first games. The tournaments, held across the region, drew participants from various teams and age groups. The Port Angeles Lefties baseball team also faced a tough game against Wenatchee, losing 10-3 at Civic Field with 14 hits and nine walks allowed by their pitching staff. The Race to Alaska event saw Port Angeles’ Lillian Kuehl complete the race for the third time, focusing on her past route rather than the destination. Meanwhile, Port Townsend’s city council passed a six-year transportation program, and the Honor Band program returned after a 20-year hiatus with 107 students from six programs participating.
