Mount Baker 10, Meridian 9
The Mountaineers scored three unearned runs in the first inning, and poured on six more runs in the top of the sixth, which gave junior pitcher Brady West enough run support to pick up his third victory of the season. Down 10-5 in the bottom of the seventh, the Trojans rallied to score four runs, highlighted by a two-run double by Jacob Amundson, but the tying run was stranded on third base when senior relief pitcher Brent Anderson struck out the final batter to pick up his second save of the season.
