Blaine 5, Lynden 2
The Lions 2-0 after three innings, but the Borderites came back to tie the game in the top of the fourth inning when sophomore leadoff hitter Mesa Puls reached on an error, and then sped from first to third on a sacrifice bunt by senior Millie Berkeley. Senior Jordyn Vezzetti followed with a groundout that scored Puls, and junior Shaylie Daniels also reached base via an error. Senior Emerysn Bakker followed with a blistering line drive double back up the middle that scored Daniels. Blaine tacked on three more in the top of the sixth inning when Berkeley singled with one out, and Vezzetti followed with a homerun to left-center field. Daniels made it back-to-back jacks on the very next pitch, and the Borderites rode the arm of Bakker the rest of the way as she struck out 10 Lions and picked up the win.
