Late rally by Sehome baseball not enough to top Burlington-Edison
The Sehome baseball team tried to rally in the bottom of the seventh trailing 3-0 to Burlington-Edison, but only managed two runs as the Mariners fell 3-2 on Tuesday at Joe Martin Field.
Lead off hitter Jack Carbee singled to start the inning, and Felix Zavisubin followed with a single. Burlington attempted to pick Zavisubin off of first base but threw the ball away and Carbee came around to score. Zavisubin advanced to third base and eventually scored on a wild pitch but that was all the offense Sehome could muster.
“We just couldn’t get anything started before the seventh inning,” Sehome coach Monte Walton said. “It was a well played ball game on both sides.”
Nooksack Valley 4, Lakewood 0 – Kyle Veldman pitched a complete game shutout to help visiting Nooksack Valley earn a Northwest Conference win. Veldman was lights out as the junior struck out 11 batters while allowing only two hits and two walks. Koert Weidkamp was 1 for 3 with three RBIs.
Sedro-Woolley 5, Mount Baker 2 – Visiting Mount Baker struggled to capitalize when it got runners in scoring position in a Northwest Conference loss. The Mounties scored one run in the first inning, but gave up one run in the second and three in the third as Sedro-Woolley ran away with the game. Grant Balvanz was 3 for 4 with an RBI.
Anacortes 12, Meridian 4 – Usually a strike-throwing machine, Meridian’s Simon Burkett walked four batters in the first two innings as the Trojans lost a Northwest Conference game. After trailing 7-0 after two innings, host Meridian cut the lead to 7-4, but Anacortes scored five runs in the top of the seventh inning.
Ferndale 11, Lynden Christian 3 – Three Ferndale batters hit home runs and the Golden Eagles scored eight runs in the fifth inning to earn a Northwest Conference win. James Hinson did the most damage at the plate as he went 3 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs.
Squalicum 10, Bellingham 3 – Host Squalicum scored nine runs in the second inning to run away with a Northwest Conference win. Jack Boysen and Owen McCord were both 3 for 4 and had multiple runs scored. August Williams went five innings on the mound and earned the win.
