Ravens beat Evergreen 8-5 in district tourney | Prep baseball

Two innings into Auburn Riverside's first game of the West Central District III/Southwest District IV tournament against Evergreen of Vancouver on Tuesday, victory looked to be in the bag. With Gonzaga University-bound senior ace Michael Rucker in firm control on the hill, and the Raven bats exploding for eight runs through two frames, the Ravens seemed to be on a cakewalk. But baseball is no bake sale. Although Auburn Riverside held on to win the game 8-5, keeping its hopes of a berth in the Washington State 4A tourney alive, the final innings were perhaps a bit spicier than the Ravens had expected. "The one positive thing is that we've got some more kids with some experience in some pressure situations," Auburn Riverside coach Jon Aarstad said. "That's the thing with baseball, nobody is going to give up. I think we got a little lax and took a seven-run lead for granted. Hopefully we learned a lesson and won't do that again."
