La Center (9-8) moves into a semifinal game against Montesano (18-2) at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at Hoquiam.

Tenino had tied the game a 9-9 in the top of the seventh on a string of singles to score two runs, but La Center got out of a bases-loaded jam thanks to an outfield catch by Tom Lambert for the third out.

La Center had to rally all game long. The Wildcats were down 4-0 after Tenino’s top of the first, then found themselves down 6-1 after Tenino’s third inning.

But La Center crawled back in it and eventually took a 9-7 lead going into the seventh where Tenino tied it up again.

COLUMBIA-WHITE SALMON 1, FORKS 0 — Garrett Hogberg, Davis Koester and Dominic Raether combined on a no-hitter for the Bruins in the 1A district first-round game.
