It was thought the fifth-seeded Knights would have one last hurrah on their home field. They were on top of the world. You would've thought they won the world championship. Our seniors haven't had a great year athletically, so for them to win this was super. Olympic baseball coach Robin Campbell, who has witnessed plenty of OL baseball tournaments, said Monday was exactly the reason why they have the tourney.
Any team can get hot on one day or over two days and win it.
It's unfortunate when you're on the losing end, but it's exciting on the winning end. Bremerton played well and deserved it. It's nice for them. In the first game of the day, Bremerton, behind solid pitching from Derek Winderl and clutch hitting, produced their first win of the season over Central Kitsap. Winderl allowed two runs on five hits while striking out four.
