  Speaker 2: Civic Stadium, So congratulations to all of them. This is
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: where we usually go to soccer, and soccer had the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: week off. They will be back in action this coming
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: week and now we will go to fast pitch.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Not a ton going on.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: There was the one game, no conference games for fast pitch,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but Mount Baker traveled east to the mountains to take
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: on Kashmir. Kind of a tradition almost that they do
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: this every year during spring break. Of course, coach Ron
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Lepper graduated from Kashmir High School, so kind of a
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: cool deal there. Bulldogs traditionally pretty strong team. They took
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: it to Mount Baker this year fourteen to one. The
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: loan run for Mount Baker came when Zeta Haynes singled
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and then scored in the top of the fourth inning
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: and and her and Cadence Cloninger the only two to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: get a base hit for Mount Baker. Who's you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: it's been a tough year for them so far, but
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: glad to see them still playing some tough non conference games.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And you know, you never know once districts come about,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and I think it's going to be the same as
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: last year, where all the one days will get together
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and play and then and they will kind of co
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: op with District five, which is the toughest district in
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the state of Washington for one A and have you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: they'll take so many from one, so many from five,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: put them together and play and I don't know how
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: many of those top teams will get to move on
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to the state tournament, but I believe the state tournament
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: again is still just twelve teams, so kind of hard
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to get a bid into that, and it's only based
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: on because the classification only has so many fast pitched teams,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: so you have to have a certain number for them
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: to have a sixteen team tournament. So they're just under that,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: so it will be twelve teams again, believe So yeah,

• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Every baseball team got in two conference games on Monday
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and Tuesday, so everybody played.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Back to back there. Glad that the weather was decent.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I remember last year during spring break the weather was
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: not great earlier in the week, so they had to
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: push games further into spring break Wednesday, Thursday, stuff like that,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: and so, but they were able to get the games
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: in and and yeah, there was a lot of a
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: lot of pretty a lot of pretty good games going on,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: especially on Monday. The one that I was at in
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Knickzak Valley defeating Meridian eight to seven on a walk
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: off with two outs, runners on second and third.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Trevick McMillan, who gave us.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: The intro, came up to the plate hit a two
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: bouncer up the middle. It was fielded cleanly, but not
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: fielded cleanly at first base. On the throw, both runners
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: were able to come around and score on the walk off.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: It was a It was a crazy game because the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: first inning took a while. Both teams scored quite a
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: lot of runs. The Pioneers had they actually had a
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: suicide squeeze in the first inning, Trevian McMillan our guy
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: once again with a perfect squeeze down as the runner
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: was coming home, and it was one of those where
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: you let the ball go because you think it might
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: go foul, but it didn't, so it was a clean play.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: On the very next it might have been the very
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: next pitch, Landon Staffer was charging home from third base
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: and they tried to do another suicide squeeze but it
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: was missed and the catcher mishandled it and Knicksac Valley
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: was able to score there as well. So I think
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: they put up a like a five spot in the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: first inning against Nate Payne, which is saying a lot
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: because he's one of the premier pitchers in Wakam County.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: But Nate pitch the rest of the game was strong
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: ritting kind of kept chipping away, chipping away, and they
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and they ended up taking the lead in the seventh
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: inning and then Niksack Valley scores the final two runs
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: in the bottom of the seventh to win it. So
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: pretty impressive when there. Trevin McMillan went three for four
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: with a double and two RBIs to lead Nuksack Valley.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Another big win was Ferndale beating Lake with six to five.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: In that game, Fenton Vassik struck out thirteen batters, went
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: over one hundred strikeouts in his varsity career picked up
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: his first win of the season. Braylen o'breen was two
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: for three with a triple and so big, big win
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: there for Ferndale as they stayed hot. Lyndon blank Squalkum
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: seven to zero. Gavin Gunnermsen struck out twelve batters and
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: did not allow a hit in five and two thirds
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: innings of work. And Linden doing Linden things. Joe Benzi's
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: now back from the hamstring injury, Spencer Adamson and Matthew
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Carroll each had a couple of hits there to lead
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Linden offensively. Linden Christian defeated Mount Baker fourteen to four.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: How about Cayden Veldman pitching the complete game, the big
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: junior getting some action on the mound, doing pretty darn
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: good job there, and yeah, Linda Christian just you know
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: that was That was their tenth win of the season,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: becoming the first team in school history for baseball to
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: win their first ten games of the year, Bellingham lost
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Oak Harbor five to three, Blaine lost to Seugure Willie
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: two to zero, and Mount Vernon beat Seahome six to one.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: And then on Tuesday Blaine beat Mount Baker twenty one
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to nine. Lot of runs being scored in this one.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I was there for that. Josh cockran four for four
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: with a triple and four RBIs, Aaron Garza three for
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: three with two doubles. Kay Kerwin picks up the win
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: in relief. Cam de mooa two for three with a
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: double and two RBIs and two runs scored identical stats
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to his teammate Tyson Barksdale there so by like I said,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker scoring nine runs, it's the most they scored
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: all year. But unfortunately for them, the Border Rights put
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: up twenty one, which was the most they had scored
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: all year. How about this one Ferndale beating Annaco to
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: six to five and a chordis did a lot of
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: damage to a lot of Walking County schools so far
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: But the Golden.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Eagles get them by one run in the bottom of
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the ninth inning, and or well they it happened in
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the ninth inning as Ana Chortus was the home team. There,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Braylan O'Brien scored on a wild pitch to give Ferndale
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: a one run lead, and then Braden Ebison pitched a
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: scoreless bottom of the ninth to get the win over
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks. He had pitched the last few innings in
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: relief to get the win. Braylon Obrien goes three for
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: four with a double, three run scored. Fenton Basic three
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: for five, four RBIs and a double. Cole Larson also
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: picked up a couple hits. Now that he's available to play,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: it's just another added bat to the Ferndeil Golden Eagle lineup.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So the congratulations to Golden Eagles going two to oh.

  Speaker 2: Alexander picks up the win on the mound.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: They Storm actually.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Led four to two after four innings, but then Trojans
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: caught fire in the top of the as They ended
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: up with twelve runs in that one inning, which pretty
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: much made up the difference.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: There. Landon rally two for three with a.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Double Gabe Goalbreth also had two hits, including a double
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: four the Trojans Nikzack Valley stayed hot with the win
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: over Lakewood on the road six to three. It was
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: an early game. I think it was like a two
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: pm game. Of course they were out of school. Freshman
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Lucas Woodwrich went three for three at the plate, Evan
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Brown single doubled and drove in a couple runs, and
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Crew Bauman picked up the complete game victory as he
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: struck out five and allowed just five hits. So nice
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: win there for the Pioneers on the road. Getting a
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: little hot streak going right now. Seaholme beats Burlington eight
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: to zero. The freshman Garrett Gibbons, with his third win

  Speaker 2: up the win. Oak Harbor downing Lyndon Christian another one
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: of those kind of I didn't see that one coming,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: but it was the Wildcats that scored six runs in
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the first inning to really put the
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: pressure on the Links, and then Linden Christian I mean, you.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Know, he scored six runs against him.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: That that's great, but you still got to be careful
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: because they all see bats are extremely I mean active.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I think they're probably hitting over three thirty eight three
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: forty as a team. I'm not quite sure what the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: team batting averages, but I would imagine it's quite high.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: And but they just couldn't They just couldn't do enough
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: and lost ten to four to Oak Harbor. So Lindon
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Christian loses their first game of the year before heading
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: into the break. There, Bellingham drops drops the game to
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Sedro Woolley thirteen to eight. A lot of good things
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: offensively for Bellingham there, especially in the bottom of the
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: seventh inning they scored seven runs. Down thirteen to one
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: going into the bottom of the seventh and they score
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: seven runs. But but that would be that Bellingham's got
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of great players that have been banged up
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, and I think, you know,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: coming into this final home stretch of the season now
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: second half of April, early May, they're getting healthier. I
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: would imagine things are gonna be looking pretty good. I'm
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: really looking forward to that game on Tuesday against Seahome.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: The weather does not look great, so we'll see if
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: things get moved around. But I think that would be
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: a really really good game. Of course, the whole Belling
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: home rivalry all that stuff, so we'll just have to
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: wait and see. But but yeah, Bellingham, you know, a
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: little bit of a losing streak there, but like I said,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: they're still trying to get healthy again. And then another
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: big game that I think a lot of people had
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: intrigue four was Mount Vernon and Lindon and at this
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: was at London and the Bulldogs got him six to zero.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Matthew Carroll pitched got suffered his first loss of the season.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Gordy Bedlington two for three with the walk.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: They also got.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Hits from Spencer Adams and Canon hon Kook, but that
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: would be it for Lyndon, who had a little That
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: was their first loss in league play. So Linden and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Lenny Christian both losing their first games in the Northwest
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Conference on Tuesday. So as of now, Linden is eight
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: and one in conference play. Lyndon Christian is seven and one.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Linden went on to play later on in the week
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: with a doubleheader against Sila on Wednesday, and Thursday, they
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: split the doubleheader in a couple of close games. Meridan
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: went on to play Brewster and Kashmere and they.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Dropped both of those games.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of tradition for both those teams to
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: play those those games over spring break. Ferndale with the
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: two wins, now they're up to six and two in
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: conference play. Sealm right behind them at six and three,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: and then there's teams that are under five hundred. Here
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: is Blaine Is three and four and Knuksack Valley three
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: and five, Meridian three and six, Bellim two and seven,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: squal Coum one and seven, Mount Baker oh to nine.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Of course, these are just conference records here, especially like
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: when you look at one a where going into the
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: district tournament, you know, whoever the fifth team is does
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: not get in, and right now it's looking like it's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: gonna be Mount Baker, but they're really the real.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Tricky thing is is it's.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: You really don't want to be that fourth team because
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: the fourth team will have will be forced to play
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: a crossover game like two days before the district tournament starts,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: so you're gonna have to you know, use an arm
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: uh you know, a good arm to pitch in that
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: game just to secure a spot in the district tournament.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: So you're kind of an arm behind, if you will,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: because if you win, then you go to Saturday, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: you have to play two games on Saturday, so you
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: better have some pitching. So right now, when I look
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: at Blame Knuksach Valley and Meridian, they're three and four,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: three and five and three and six.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Nuksack Valley has already beaten Meridian.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be tricky to see who ends up being,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: you know, that four seed, because you better have some
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: pitching ready and available.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: And I think all these teams do.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: You know they can rely on three different arms if
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: they have to, but they want to avoid that possibility.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: The most as possible. You know. That's that's kind of
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: the big key I'm trying to get to there.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: So so we'll just have to wait and see there.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the stat leaders now.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And the stat Leaders are brought to you by j
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: e KK Sports Cards.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: They also sponsor the daily Scoreboards.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: You can check them out at j e kkcards dot com.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Visit them in person one seventy nine Telegraph Road in Bellingham.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Give them a call three six zero three zero three
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: one seven eight nine. So as we take a look
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: at this and run scored, it's the elis from Lenny Christian,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Eli Mayberry and Eli Stamps each have eighteen runs scored.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: How about the next three guys are all links as well.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Trey Johnson has seventeen Brandon angles sixteen, Samcock sixteen, so
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: my goodness, the top five in the county and runs
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: order all from the links, so it's pretty impressive there.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Let's see here, let's go to hits and bass hits.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Gordy Bedlington and Spencer Adams of Lyndon each have seventeen
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: hits as of now. To lead the county in doubles,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: it's Jad Geiger of Seahome with seven, Matthew Carroll of
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Linden right on his tail with six. In triples, Joe
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Harward of Bellingham has three triples, which is great, which
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: is kind of funny because he does have any doubles.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: So he's that kind of athlete where.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: With his speed, if he hits one in the gap
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and it looks like a double, he's probably gonna go
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: for three and he's probably gonna get it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: So he has three triples.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Right now in the year, Brayln o'breen of Ferndale, Eli
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Maybury of Lendy Christian and Tyson Barksdale with Mount Baker
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: each have two triples. In home runs, it's still Eli
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Stamps leading the way with three.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: There were no.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Home runs this week. To add to the leader board.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Still with one each is Braylan O'Brien, Lincoln Brezowski, Hudson
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Johnson and Lucas will and Branden Angles In batting average
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: right now, Let's see here it depends on how many
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: plate appearances they have, Because I got Tyson Barksdale right
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: now with a five twenty nine batting average. He has
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: twenty two plate appearances, and I'm trying to remember what
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I had it at last week. To like what the
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: threshold was to get to, I think it has to
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: be more than that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: If it is Aaron Garza right now of Blaine.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Still batting five hundred, so had a pretty good week there.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: In RBIs Spencer Adams now leading the way with fifteen
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: for Lindon and fellow First Basement of Lyndon Christian. Eli
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Stamps has fourteen.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: A couple guys with twelve.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Noah Navarette of Linden and Trevin Crabtree of Meridian each
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: have twelve.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: In stolen bases.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Joe Harward now stretching his lead out a little bit
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: from Hudson f sixteen to thirteen. Eli Mayberry now has
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: ten stolen bases on the year. Braylen O'Brien with nine
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: in walk so far. Sam Cock has been walked fifteen times.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I think he had four against Oak Harbor. A couple
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: of guys with twelve walks Joe Harward of Bellingham and
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Sunny Myers of Seahome and slugging percentage. It is Aaron
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Garza or no, I'm sorry, it's Braylan O'Brien who is
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: slugging seven to ten now. He's you know, he had
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: that home run the Saturday before on his birthday. He
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: hit another triple over the week here, So a big,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: big week of you know lately, a lot of extra
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: base hits for the senior left fielder for the Golden
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Eagles in hits by pitch Dawson. Van Dalen of Lindon
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: has been hit now ten times by pitch Trey Johnson
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: right on his tail with nine on on base percentage.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Sam Cock has an on base percentage of six point
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: fifty nine. It's pretty incredible. That's a great on base
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: percentage there. His on base and slugging combined is over
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: eleven hundred, pretty close twelve hundred there, So pretty incredible there.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: If we look at the pitching leaders, if we look
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: at just wins, we have a handful of guys with
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: three wins. The only one with that is three and
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: oh three wins and zero losses is the sophomore from Linda,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Christian Tanner.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Blair.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Got a lot of pitchers that are three and one.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Garrett Gibbons of Seaholme, the freshman Sam Cock of Lindy,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Christian Gunner Tweet of Seaholme, Jack's Barr of Lyndon and
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Matthew Carroll of Lindon are all three and one. Gavin
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Gutterson of Lyndon is three and two. So all those
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: pitchers have three wins on the year. In saves, Gordy
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Bedlington now has two saves on the year. He's been
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: doing great in relief. He's pitched seven innings and he's
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: only allowed two hits zero era. He hasn't walked anybody
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: and he's struck out fourteen, so that is that is
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: really something as a relief pitcher, that's about as good
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: as it gets. I know they probably don't want to
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: take him away from shortstop too often. You'd always slide
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Noah Navaret over there, But boy, he gets the job
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: done when he gets the mound late in the game
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: in strikeouts. Right now is Gavin Guttermson with forty two
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: strikeouts leading the way an innings pitched landon rally of
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Meridian twenty seven and two thirds innings pitched. You'd like
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: to have that big horse on the mound that you
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: know can eat up innings and and and he's a
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: great example of somebody that I was kind of talking about.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Whoever gets that fourth spot in one A you better
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: have extra arms. But a big thing is you want
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: a guy that can pitch a whole game so he
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: might be called upon in a game like that. You know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: you never know if it's needed to move on just
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to get into the district tournament.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: In er, boy, we got let's see here because.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: It's about it's about an innings pitched threshold once again.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: But I'm looking at a lot of guys here that
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: are over you know, fifteen innings pitch there's a few
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: guys that are under a one er. So right now
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: we have three guys. We have Evan Brown of Niksack
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Valley has a zero point eight nine ERA, Josh Cochran
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: of Blaine.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: A zero point eight eight ERA.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: And how about this leading the way is the freshman
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: from Seahome, Garrett Gibbons has a zero point seven to
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: eight e R.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: That's incredible. And what's what's great.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: This is what I love about baseball, and this is
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: why maybe why I excelled. You know, I mean, I
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: wasn't great, but it was a sport that I knew
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I could contribute quite a bit to was it just
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: didn't It doesn't.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Matter about size.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: You look at Garrett Garrett Gibbons and I don't know
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: his exact height and weight, but I'm gonna guess he's
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: about five six and weighs about one hundred and twenty
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: five pounds. But I tell you what, he can pump
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the strike zone and doing it from the left handed
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: side and getting breaking balls over for strikes goes a
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: long way. So good for him, good for the Mariners.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: And that's that's what's cool about base balls. Its size
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: is not a huge factor. And you know when I
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: was in high school, I was smaller than Garrett when
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I when when I when I played, But it really
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. There's a lot of players out there that
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: you see that are contributing that are on the smaller side,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: and it's just a it's a really it's just a
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: really cool thing and about baseball and I love it
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: so and uh, we're gonna we are going to have
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: a Player of the Week for baseball as all teams
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: played quite a bit. And the Player of the Week
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: is brought to you by SIGs Funeral and Cremation Services.

  Speaker 2: in person at eight oh nine West Orchard Drive, Sweet
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: two in Bellingham three six zero six five six five
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: four five nine. And there was some really good candidates there.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: You know, I was looking at Gordy Bedlington with Lynden
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: playing four games, doing it offensively, doing it on the mound,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: and the relief appearance, getting the big save against Sela.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I thought, you know, Trevick McMillan had the big game there,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: getting helping getting that win over Meridian, and there's you know,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: there was lots of different guys. Josh Cochran and Aaron
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Garza each had big, big stat lines against Mount Baker.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: It wasn't as it didn't go as well against Sidro
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: the day before. And then when I really looked, when
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I really looked at it, it was kind of between the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: two Ferndale teammates, the seniors, Braylen O'Brien and Fenton Vasik
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: both had really good games both games.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: And when I the.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Really the thing that really it came down to was
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: with Fenton Vasik is that he pitched that first game
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: and struck out thirteen batters and he turns around and
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: has four RBIs the next game.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: So and Braylen.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: O'Brien, he just he just won the PEPSI Performance of
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: the Week last week. And so I'm given to SIG's

  Speaker 2: Incredible week and helping Ferndale go to and O this
