On Monday night, May 6, the Islanders claimed the KingCo tournament championship, with a 10-3 victory over the Saints of Interlake.  In a total team victory, MI pounded out 15 hits by 10 players, with Senior Robert Dreyer and Freshman Jack Varney each notching three hits a piece.  Junior Duke Brotherton provided a strong outing from the bump, going six and two-thirds innings, allowing just 4 hits with five strike outs.  Senior Rohan Tatum secured the last out for the Islanders from the mound. 

Coach Dominic Woody and the full MI coaching team of Pete Orgill, Andre Marshall, Bret Derooy, Josh Patterson, Kenny Terhune, Paul Segura and Walt Ingram have now led Mercer Island to three straight KingCo tournament titles.  

MI will now advance to the WA State 3A Playoffs, and compete in the final 16 team tournament that begins Saturday, May 18 -- with the Islanders slotted to play locally at Bannerwood Park.  Stay tuned for timing and tournament updates.

Mercer Island (6-6 KingCo, 12-8 Overall) advanced to the KingCo championship game on Monday, May 6, with a 5-4 defeat of regular season champion Lake Washington (12-0 KingCo, 19-2 Overall).   

In a spirited contest of these perennial rivals, MI jumped out to a 2 run lead in the top of the first, while LW posted a run in the bottom of the third.    Behind the stellar pitching of Liam Dammeier, the Islanders maintained their slim 2-1 margin going into the seventh inning.  Dammeier dealt for six and one-third innings, allowing just 2 hits and striking out 6.  In the top of the seventh, the Islanders  posted 3 additional runs behind clutch at bats from  Quinn Zakahi (double), Max Tanzer (2-3, 2 RBI), and William Mulfur (2 RBI). 

The Islanders would need each of those insurance runs as the  State top-rated Kangs stormed back in the bottom of the seventh, to score 3.  Reliever Duke Brotherton secured the last the two outs for the save, and the Islanders move on the Championship game on Monday night to face the Interlake Saints.   

The Islander Varsity (6-6 KingCo, 11-8 Overall) completed regular season action with a win over Bellevue 7 to 5.  MI qualified for the KingCo playoffs and will play Lake Washington  Saturday, May 4  at Bannerwood Park at  7 pm,.
