Sehome 9, Bellingham 5
The Mariners scored the first five runs of the game, and they did it over the first five innings, but the Bayhawks got hot in the bottom of the fifth and scored the next five runs of the game in one inning to tie it up. A bases loaded single up the middle by Sehome senior Gunnar Tweit in the top of the seventh inning scored Sonny Myers and Max Braunstein to give the Mariners a 7-5 lead. An error allowed two more runs to score, and Sehome was able to hold on in the bottom of the seventh to capture the road win. Tweit led the Mariners with three hits, while Geiger added another double to his Whatcom County lead, and he also struck out six batters over the final two innings to pick up the victory. Bellingham senior Alden Scott returned to the lineup and supplied a triple, a stolen base and two runs batted in. Scott also nearly homered in the bottom of the third inning, but it was taken away at the wall by leaping catch from Hudson Neff.
