BREMERTON — The streaking Roughriders were cooled off by the Trojans on Monday.

Port Angeles came into the game having won four straight game and six of seven — including handing Bremerton its first loss of the season last Thursday.

But the Riders were unable to figure out Olympic (7-4, 7-6) pitcher Shane Matheny, who fanned 10 batters in six innings.

“We didn’t play well at all,” Port Angles coach Chad Wagner said. “It’s sad to see us take such a step back after playing well for a few games.

“We let ourselves strike out 10 times to an ‘OK’ pitcher. He did his job and recognized we couldn’t make an adjustment, and kept attacking our weakness.”

The game was close until the Trojans plated six runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, turning a 2-1 game into a 8-1 rout.

Marcus and Michael Konopaski each had a hit for the Riders, and Larsson Chapman added a hit and two walks.

Chase Jangula took the loss for Port Angeles (6-5) , which hosts North Mason (6-4, 9-4) on Friday at Civic Field.

“We have to play better Friday and go come out with a win,” Wagner said.

BREMERTON — The Roughriders again proved themselves to be among the best of the Olympic League by notching a mercy-rule victory over the fourth-place Trojans on Monday.

Sarah Steinman tossed a gem for Port Angles, allowing just three hits and fanning six in five innings on the mound.

At the plate, Steinman was 2 for 3 with a pair of RBI.

Maddy Hinrichs contributed two hits and two steals, and Carly Gouge drove in two runs for the Riders.

“We played a great game all-around,” Port Angeles coach Randy Steinman said.

Port Angeles returns to action with a home game against North Mason (2-5, 3-5) on Friday at Dry Creek Elementary.

The Riders were scheduled to face Chimacum today, but that game has been canceled, and will not be rescheduled.
