Mount Baker 2, Squalicum 1
Mountaineer junior Daniel Washburn and Storm sophomore Ben Hebert matched each other masterfully for the first five innings, each giving up just one run and a total of seven hits between them. Hebert began the bottom of the sixth by walking Braven Nason, and was replaced on the mound by Josh Kreta who nearly picked off the speedy Nason at first base. Kreta then got Elijah Washburn to pop out. Nason then stole second base, but Kreta was able to strike Braeden Scott out. Then, with two outs, Tyson Rightmire singled into centerfield to score Nason from second base for the eventual game winner. Daniel Washburn was able to get the first three Squalicum batters out in the seventh to secure the complete game victory.

The Golden Eagles jumped out to an early lead, thanks in part to a home run by senior center fielder Andrew James, but the Pioneers stormed back for three runs in the top of the fourth to tie the contest at three.

Junior lefty Camden Raymond picked up his third victory on the season as he went the distance on the mound. He also reached base four times with a double and three walks.
