The Lady Vikes notched up a league win against Darrington this week, with non-league losses to Lynden Christian and Seattle Lutheran.
The Vikings beat Darrington in five innings on April 21, by the 10 run rule at 13-3.
“That game was really good because we played a really sound defensive game, started to knock off the rust, the team really worked together well,” said Harris. “Our pitchers were sound and tight to the strike zone and our bats were really alive.” Lanie Padbury hit a double and a triple, and both April Hofmann and Emily Bodenhamer hit a triple as well.
The Viking baseball team soundly defeated Darrington on April 14, with a score of 17-9.
“They felt really good, they were pumped up,” said coach Christian Gardiner.
