Meridian 8, Coupeville 4
The Trojans became the first Whatcom County team to get to 3-0 on the young season, and this time it was by fending off a pesky Coupeville squad. Junior catcher Ian Forbes knocked in three runs, giving him nine RBI’s so far this season, and fellow junior Tyson Timmer came through in the bottom of the second inning when he blasted a two-run double to give his team a 2-1 lead. Sophomore Jaeger Fyfe picked up his first victory of the season on the mound, and senior Hunter Jones closed out the game to pick up the save.
