Bellingham 7, Lakewood 6
The Bayhawks kept their season alive in a must-win game over the Cougars at Joe Martin Field. Bellingham took a 2-0 lead after the first inning, and Lakewood was able to tie it at two a few innings later. The Bayhawks scored twice more in the bottom of the third, and the Cougars put up four runs in the top of the fifth to gain a 6-4 advantage. However, Bellingham began the bottom of the fifth with a bang. Back-to-back doubles by Alden Scott and Ethan Brimble produced a run, which was followed up by an intentional walk to Jesse Harward. Lakewood was able to hold Bayhawks for a short while, and obtain a pair of outs, but a line-drive double by James Armstrong scored a pair of runs to give Bellingham the lead for good.
