SEDRO-WOOLLEY – Bailey Brewer struck out 10 Bulldogs and allowed only two hits as the Sedro-Woolley Cubs advanced to the District One 3A Title Game. Offensively, the Cubs were paced by Bailey Bartelt who went 2-for-3 including with a two-run single in the fourth. Sarah Moquin also went 2-for-3 with a two-run single in the fifth to account for the Cubs’ scoring.
The Bulldogs only offensive tally came in the sixth when Ally Kutz led off with a double, stole second and scored on a ground ball to second by Devin Hiltz.
The Cubs flashed some leather as well with a spectacular defensive play in the fourth when after a one out walk, Kiersten Anderson tried to advance to third on a well-executed bunt by Mount Vernon’s Alicia Fine. Cubs’ first baseman Holly Hawkins fielded the bunt down the first base line and made an alert throw to Sarah Moquin at third base, who tagged Anderson out on a close play. The Cubs turned in an error-free game.
The Bulldogs hopes are still alive as they will face the Ferndale Golden Eagles (12-10) the two seed from the Northwest Conference in a loser out game Thursday afternoon.
Next up for the Cubs will be the Everett Gulls (13-9,) the No. 3 seed out of the Western Conference. The winner advances to the State Tournament, while the loser drops to the Consolation bracket and has to win two more games to advance.
We’ll have that game for you right here on SkagitRadio.com at 11:00 on Saturday with pregame at 10:45 with Wade Tonkin and Ed Eliason.
