Lynden 12, Burlington-Edison 2
Despite losing to the Tigers during conference play, the Lions went into the game confidently and put up six runs in the first two innings. Burlington-Edison scored two in the bottom of the third, but those would be the only runs as Lynden tacked on late in the contest. The win put the Lions in the district championship game where they will face top-ranked Sedro-Woolley on Friday at 6:30. Melanie Anderson led the offensive attack with three hits, including a double, and Kasi Thomas belted her sixth homerun of the season.

The earlier loss sent the Mariners to the consolation bracket where they nearly completed the comeback against the Wildcats.

The Mariners ended their season with a record of 8-15.
