Clean, crisp game helps Ferndale baseball top Sedro-Woolley
The Ferndale baseball team played an error-less game en route to a 5-0 Northwest Conference win over Sedro-Woolley on Friday at Ferndale High School.
Golden Eagle junior James Hinson was the beneficiary of a spotless defensive effort as he pitched a complete game shutout while only allowing four hits. Hinson also struck out six batters and walked only two.
“That was just a well-played, clean baseball game,” Ferndale coach Donny Hennigs said. “James pitched well and the defense behind him was crisp.”
Hinson also got it done at the plate, going 2 for 4 including a double and a solo home run in the third inning.
Mount Baker 7, Squalicum 2 – Host Mount Baker used a patient approach at the plate to tally four runs in the last three innings and win a Northwest Conference game. Hayden Linderman scored three runs for the Mounties, and Michael Kentner put his team in a position to win as he threw five innings of two-run ball.
Meridian 4, Bellingham 1 – Visiting Meridian scored three runs in the second inning which was enough for Warren Utschinski to hold off Bellingham on the mound to earn a Northwest Conference win. Nick Knutson was 3 for 4 with two singles, a double and an RBI but that was all the offense Bellingham could muster off of Utschinski.
Blaine 10, Lakewood 0 (5 innings) – Eight different Blaine players combined for nine hits as the Borderites earned a Northwest Conference win. Blaine used its speed to its advantage as the Borderites stole 10 bases. Jon Gunderson was the only Blaine player with multiple hits as he went 2 for 3 with two runs and two steals.
Sehome 6, Nooksack Valley 0 – The visiting Mariners shutout the host Pioneers Friday to earn their 11th win of the season and seventh conference win. Felix Zavisubin pitched another shutout and went 6 1/3 innings. Shane Jamison, Jack Carbee, Lukas Delisle and Dane Farris were all 2 for 3 for Sehome.
North Kitsap 4, Lynden 3 – The visiting Lions lost their first game of the season Friday in a nonleague game with North Kitsap. Lynden had won 14-straight, but still remain undefeated in the Northwest Conference.
