Also this week: boys golf, girls golf and tennis.

The Gig Harbor fastpitch team (16-3, 14-2 Puget Sound League) came from behind to defeat Peninsula (12-7, 11-5) 7-5 at Gig Harbor High School on May 1. A large evening crowd watched the game under sunny skies — skies that contributed to a wild fourth inning in which the teams combined to score eight runs.

Senior Cole Krilich hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to clinch Gig Harbor’s 7-5 win.

Pitcher Quentin Bockhorn threw a complete-game shutout for the Narrows Division-champion Tides.

The Seahawks and Tides face off at 4 p.m. Friday, April 25, at Sehmel Park for crosstown bragging rights.

Also this week: Gig Harbor girls water polo avenges an earlier loss and local schools split a rivalry track meet.

Gig Harbor sophomore Jackson Powell scored on a corner kick with less than two minutes remaining to secure the tie for the Tides.

Both of Ben Sleeter’s sons play for Peninsula High, and his wife is an assistant volleyball coach there.

Gig Harbor is 5-0 and atop one service’s Class 3A rankings; Peninsula is also unbeaten and would likely be ranked if they’d played more games.
