BURLINGTON – Lindsey Dawson threw a pair of wild pitches in the first inning, which led to a rare early run given up by the Tiger ace, then settled down to throw a two-hitter while striking out 15 in leading the Tigers to an 8-1 victory over Lynden Christian Thursday in the final regular season Northwest Conference girls’ fastpitch softball game.
Once Dawson locked in her control, the Tiger bats came to life, with Amy Entrikin smashing a solo home run and catcher Jessica Tingley driving in runs with a pair of triples, both to deep right field. Rachelle Berry also added a triple for Burlington-Edison. The Tigers scored runs in the second, third and fourth innings, applying constant pressure on Lyncs’ starter Taylor Bichle.
With the victory, the Lady Tigers clinched the No. 1 seed into the 2A District One tournament next week in Lynden, finishing the regular season with an 11-2 conference record, 15-5 overall, while the Lady Lyncs saw their NWC record fall to 6-6 and are 9-6 overall.

SEDRO-WOOLLEY- Cubs’ ace Bailey Brewer remained undefeated (7-0) in striking out 17 Lady Tigers as Sedro-Woolley took over sole possession of the Northwest Conference lead with a 5-1 win over Burlington-Edison in fastpitch softball Tuesday at Janicki Field.
Sedro-Woolley catcher Cheyenne Best put the Cubs ahead in the first inning when she scored all the way from first base on a bunt by Wendy Ringhouse that was misplayed by the Tigers. The miscue was one of an uncharacteristic four B-E errors.
Cubs SS Maddie Lynch-Crumrine’s RBI double was part of a three-run fifth inning that gave Sedro-Woolley a 5-0 lead. Best was 2-3 with an RBI and two runs. Holly Hawkins added two hits and a walk for the Cubs.
Jessica Tingley drove-in her sister Rachel with the lone Burlington-Edison run in the sixth inning as the sisters had two of the Tigers’ three hits. B-E starting pitcher Lindsay Dawson struck out eight but was victimized by the four errors in suffering the loss.
With both teams entering the game undefeated in NWC play, Sedro-Woolley remains the only team with a perfect record in the conference (8-0, 13-2 overall) and is ranked #8 in the state 3A rankings.
Burlington-Edison fell to 7-1 in conference (11-4 overall) but the Tigers are still the top 2A team in the three-classification Northwest Conference.
