A little more than halfway through the softball season and the Kentlake Falcons are sitting in seventh place in the South Puget Sound League 4A North division.

The Falcons played three games last week on April 21, April 22 and Monday, April 27.

During those three games, Kentlake went 1-2.

The Falcons lost the first two 6-5 to Thomas Jefferson on Tuesday and 7-4 to Federal Way on Wednesday.

Kentlake won the matchup Monday against Kentridge 9-5.

The Falcons started strong, scoring three runs in the first inning against the Chargers.

Kentridge got on the board with one run in the third but the Falcons continued to add to its lead.

Kentlake scored one in the third, three in the fourth and finished with two runs in the fifth inning.

The win snapped the Falcons’ four game losing streak. It was the first win since April 15.

Sophomore Jordan Engman went 3 for 5 Monday and had two runs batted in.

Freshman Allyson Overall also had three hits and 2 RBIs.

“Our team is a very well diverse group with an equal number of players from each grade level,” coach Kevin Smith said.

Smith acknowledged a number of athletes who have stepped up this season for the Falcons.

Among some of those players, he noted that Engman is a newcomer and she has “held down shortstop for us all season while hitting over .500,”he said.

He also mentioned that Overall has stepped into a starting pitcher role this season.

And she is “a solid bat (in) the lineup,” he added.

The Falcons faced Decatur Tuesday after the press deadline.

Results from any games played after the deadline can be found online when they become available.

The next game scheduled is 4 p.m. today, Friday, at Kentwood.
