The Borderites tied the game up at 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning when a single off the bat of Aaliyah Broyan scored Aaliyah Bowman. With the score tied at 2-2 going into the top of the seventh, the Lyncs started out the inning with three doubles and a single. Just like that, Lynden Christian was ahead by three runs, and added on three more before the inning was finished, and it was too much for Blaine to overcome in the bottom of the seventh. LC junior Roxanne Lenning finished with two doubles, a single, three runs batted in, and she also struck out 12 batters while picking up her seventh win of the season. Brooke VanLoo and Kortnee Tolsma each drove in two runs as well. Blaine was led by Broyan and junior centerfielder Kate Koreski who each had a pair of hits, as well as sophomore shortstop Courtney Roff who had an RBI triple in the fifth inning.
