Varsity Islanders celebrate a win in their opening game vs Peninsula HS
Mercer Island Varsity baseball is off to a strong start, with non-conference wins against Peninsula, Skyline, Richland and a 2-4 loss at Hanford during its annual Tri Cities doubleheader. KingCo conference play kicked off against Hazen, followed by Juanita. MI won both games and has allowed only one run to be scored.
This week the Islanders continue conference play Monday at home vs Liberty at 6 pm, Wednesday at Bellevue at 4:30 pm, and Friday at home vs Interlake at 6 pm. We appreciate the ongoing support of fans and volunteers to make this a memorable season and a fun game day experience!
Fans gathered to cheer on the Islanders as they swung for the fences in the 3rd Annual Home Run Derby. Congratulations to Team Clark for the most points, the finalists below (top 2 finishers from each team), and the 2023 Champion senior pitcher and outfielder Austin Cupic!
Home Run Derby finalists (L to R) Neal Baron, Charlie Seneker, Cole Rowe, Cutter Werdel, Tyler Gilroy, Austin Cupic, Marques Abulhosn
