Baseball

Newport 9 Redmond 1

The Mustangs plated five runs in the first inning and held Newport to only a single hit in a 9-1 win in the 4A KingCo tournament semi-finals last night, earning a state tournament berth in the process.

The win was the 14th win in the last 15 games and also sends Redmond to the tournament title game on Friday, where Issaquah will be waiting.

Peter Hendron picked up the win on the mound, allowing only a solo home run in the third inning to keep his team in front throughout after the first inning outburst.

A win on Friday will give the Mustangs the top seed from the district. Issaquah and Redmond split a pair of games this year with Issaquah taking the most recent 3-1 on April 27.
