Trenkamp makes an impact

Former Mount Si softball star Amy Trenkamp has had a tough first season of college softball, but she still finds a way to make an impact. Trenkamp doubled and tripled in a doubleheader sweep by her Charleston Southern University women’s softball team over Savannah State March 28.

In the first game, a 13-0 five inning blowout, Trenkamp, in addition to her double, scored two runs, and had two RBIs. The double came in the fifth inning, and that helped to set off an eight-run CSU offensive explosion which put the game away. Pitchers Amanda Noble and Whitney James combined on a no-hitter.

Trenkamp’s triple came in the first inning of the second game, with two outs. The freshman also added a run and another run batted in to the Buccaneer cause as CSU won that game 10-2, also in five innings.

Trenkamp doubled again and picked up another RBI for the Bucs in a game April 7 against Appalachian State, but CSU fell in the contest 4-2.

Hole-in-one

Ron Tomlinson made a hole-in-one at Mount Si Golf Course recently. The shot was made on the 17th hole at a distance of 184 yards using a six iron. It was his first hole-in-one.

Local golfer doing well

Bradley Harrelson of Snoqualmie has placed in several Pacific Northwest Junior golf tournaments recently. In the last three events he had three top-five finishes including a second place finish at last weekend’s Bellingham Junior Masters, played at Avalon golf links. He also placed fifth in the Portland Junior Open and fourth at the Central Washington Spring Classic. Harrelson is 14 years old and is an eighth-grader at Chief Kanim Middle School.
