THIRD TIME’S A CHARM
Skyline’s Katie Bucy helps Washington lacrosse win national championship By Lillian O’Rorke Some say the third time is the charm. For Katie Bucy, it was. The Skyline High School junior had been to the U.S. Lacrosse Women’s National Tournament twice before, but when she and her team outscored a New Hampshire/Vermont regional squad, 9-6, to win the title May 26, it was a first.

Bucy said after returning
from the tournament in Philadelphia. “It’s amazing. It’s actually kind of shocking,” she added. “The East Coast is known for lacrosse, and we’re from Washington.” After tryouts in March, Bucy was selected to join 21 other high school girls from the state to represent Washington at the National Tournament, where she led with three goals in the championship game.

Lakeside Recovery falls late to Phiten Jake Rosen tosses five hitless innings in no decision By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com Jake Rosen had barely pitched since his Newport High School baseball team ended its season in late April, but that didn’t stop him from putting together a great outing June 6. Rosen shut out Phiten Legion of Bellevue through five innings, but Phiten scored a run in the sixth off reliever Clayton Huber to top Lakeside Recovery, 1-0, in a Senior American Legion contest at Issaquah High School. Lakeside Recovery coach Rob Reese said he liked what he saw from Rosen, who allowed three hits and two walks with three strikeouts. “He hasn’t pitched much because Newport, they’ve been out of it for a while, so he’s only had, like, three innings in a month,” Reese said. “Five innings is about where he was good to go today, and then he gave us five shutout innings.

Reese credited Phiten’s pitcher with a solid outing, and said Lakeside Recovery didn’t accomplish the type of small-ball tasks that make a difference in a close game. “We had our shot in the first inning,” Reese said. “We made a base-running error, and we had our three, four hitters up with a guy in scoring position, and we just didn’t get him in. That was the end of our offense today. See BASEBALL, Page B5
