Arlington 8, Sehome 1
The Mariner offense failed to get a runner on base for the first five innings, and also gave up too many free passes in the process. Sehome walked nine batters in total, including seven in the final three innings. Sehome scored in the bottom of the sixth inning when freshman Keegan Glennon reached on a hard hit single, which was followed up by a sacrifice bunt by Campbell Robbins. An errant throw advanced Glennon to third who then scored on a wild pitch. Senior pitcher Jacob Gillig struck out four batters in the four innings of work.

SEH: Glennon 1-2, R; Gillig 1-3.
