Lynden Christian 7, Mount Baker 5
The Mountaineers led 2-0 after three innings of play, but the Lyncs rallied for four runs in the bottom of the fourth, and added three extremely tack-on runs over the next two innings. Mount Baker put up three runs in the top of the final inning, but couldn’t complete the comeback. Taya Vander Kooi and Kassidy VanSoest each had three hits for Lynden Christian, and Roxanne Lenning entered the game at pitcher halfway through the second inning and went the rest of the way to get the win. She also struck out eight batters over that time. The Mountaineers got a pair of hits from Kara Welters, Zaida Haynes and Alyssa DeRoco. Gracie Zender also homered in the top of the seventh inning during the attempted comeback.
