Lynden baseball loses district title game but state tourney awaits
The Lynden baseball team had a chance to win a Class 2A district title, but lost 1-0 to Liberty on Saturday at Daniels Field in Anacortes.
The Lions still claimed second place and a guaranteed spot in the state tournament, which starts May 20.
After going 17-2 during the regular season, Lynden had the No. 2 seed entering districts, which meant a first-round bye. The Lions drew Sehome in the quarterfinals and shutout the Mariners 4-0, and then dispatched Anacortes in the semifinals 2-1.
