Ferndale 13, Nooksack Valley 2
Junior third baseman Jordan Mason supplied the thunder as he led off the game with a homerun, and the rest of the Golden Eagle offense took his lead. Mother Nature did the game, and supplied even more thunder and lightning during the second inning, which caused a delay in the game. Junior pitcher Dylan Strom allowed just one hit, a two-run double off the bat of Ethan Rutledge-Jones in the fourth inning. Junior shortstop Jake Mason led Ferndale with three hits.
