Victoria drops 5-3 decision to Port Angeles
Ny’Zaiah Thompson went Beast Mode on the paths Friday night with four stolen bases at Wilson’s Group Stadium at Royal Athletic Park. He comes by it honestly as former Seattle Seahawks running-back Marshawn Lynch is a close family friend whom he considers an uncle.
The Island is cross-border Seahawks territory when it comes to NFL support, and Thompson quipped before the game: “So many people here ask me about him when they find out the connection.” There is no shortage of sports experience to fall back on for Thompson, but he displays no sense of cockiness or entitlement, and is soft-spoken and respectful and is the kind of gritty, committed player who his high school coach Stephen Gatehouse told FieldLevel.com “will have a dirty uniform after the last out.” That’s also because of his background.
There were 37 WCL alumni on MLB opening-day rosters this year, including AL all-star Adley Rutschman, 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber and two-time AL Gold Glove Award winner Steve Kwan. A total of 62 WCL alumni appeared in MLB games last season. If that doesn’t motivate current WCL players, nothing will.
