TACOMA – The Sedro-Woolley Cubs exited the WIAA State 3A Fastpitch Tournament at the hands of Union High School of Camas, who overcame a 2-0 Sedro-Woolley lead in the bottom of the sixth, scoring four runs on their only three hits of the game, to win 4-2.
Sedro-Woolley’s offense came from Wendy Ringhouse, who knocked in Anna Gallagher (running for Ashley Joneli) in the fifth, and Maddie Lynch-Crumrine, who tripled and was driven in by Holly Hawkins’ single in the sixth.
The Titans scored all of their runs in the sixth on a single by Alex Cline, a double from Jamie Henderson, a double by Lindsay Sasse, a two base error, and a sacrifice fly to center from Mariah Dawson.
Two critical errors played a major part in the big inning for the Titans – a pop fly between the pitchers circle and third base that dropped for a two base error and an ill conceived throw to third after a wild pitch that went into left field and allowed a run to score.
Bailey Brewer gave up three hits and struck out 11 in the losing effort and smacked a double to deep left field in the fourth but was stranded after Union’s Maria Dawson struck out the next three batters.
The Cubs are poised for a return trip to State next year as all of their starters except senior Wendy Ringhouse will be back to play for the blue and white.
