Skyline ended Redmond’s baseball season with a 10-9, eight-inning victory on Thursday night in the 4A Kingco Tournament. The Mustangs finished at 15-9 overall.

Down 8-5 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Redmond scored three runs to tie the game and send it into extra innings.

Skyline scored two runs in the top of the eighth and Redmond answered with one in the bottom half to finish the game on the losing end.

Redmond led 5-1 at one point during the game.

• Redmond won its second straight extra-inning elimination game with an 8-7 decision over Bothell in nine innings on Tuesday night in the tourney.

“It’s been a bit of a roller-coaster ride,” said coach Dan Pudwill of the Mustangs’ season. “We started a little bit slow, and we picked up some steam there and had a really good strong middle part of the season.”

Redmond benefitted from some clutch performances in the last few games that kept the team rolling in the postseason.

“We talk about being relentless, continuing to attack and continuing to apply pressure on the other team, whether it’s on the mound or up at the plate or on the bases,” said Pudwill, in his 11th year as the Mustangs’ skipper.

There have been some tough spots this year for the Mustangs, and in order to deal with the pressure, Pudwill and his coaching staff tell the players to relax and focus on each moment. He said these are not only baseball lessons, but can be applied to one’s life, as well.

Kevin Calderhead did just that, slugging a two-out, walk-off single to center field in the bottom of the ninth inning to score Milo Mincin and give Redmond a 5-4 victory over Inglemoor on Monday in an elimination game in the tourney.
