Jacob Gillig relieved him in the sixth inning, while Brooks Frere came on in the seventh to shut the door and pick up the save. First baseman Jacob Kaepernick went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs batted in, while batting in the leadoff spot for the first time in his varsity career. Junior center fielder Bryce Johnson picked up Meridian’s lone hit. The Trojans did, however, get on base eight other times.

Lynden Christian 12, Mount Vernon 5
Senior third baseman Shale Whittern showed why he’s one of Whatcom County’s best baseball players, as he was just a double away from hitting for the cycle, and drove in six batters as the Lyncs continued on their great season. Hard-throwing senior Luke Johnson also struck out 10 Bulldogs and allowed just one hit over four and two thirds innings. Lynden Christian also got multiple hits from Cole Moorlag, Lane Dykstra, Preston Mark, Brody Bouwman and Charlie Terpstra.

Burlington-Edison 3, Nooksack Valley 1
A first-inning double by junior Jet Triplett knocked in sophomore Bennett DeLange, and DeLange also pitched a whale of a game against a great lineup, but the Tigers were just a little too much for the Pioneers. DeLange went the complete game, and gave up just five hits.

NV: DeLange 1-2, R, BB, SB; Triplett 1-3, 2B, RBI.

He was also very efficient, throwing just 71 pitches in six innings.
