The Lady Vikings (3-7) took on Concrete (5-7) on April 29, and lost 15-5, dropping their third straight game to the Lions.

“Basically Concrete hit the ball where we weren’t  … they had about 20 hits. They play with a lot of confidence against us,” said Head Coach Jason Nichols.

On May 2, the Vikings traveled to Friday Harbor (2-7) and lost both games of a double header but coaches decided a game played on Orcas last week should have ended at five innings by rule, giving the win to Orcas, 13-10.

Asked about the difficulty with winning in Friday Harbor, Nichols chuckled and said, “Last year’s Head Coach Scott Harris and I have pretty much agreed it’s haunted over there.”

Orcas hitting highlights included a home run by Shelbi Rogers and 2/4 hitting and an RBI by Nigretto.

On May 3 the Vikings played in the Blaine Tourney, coming home with a 7-4 win against Sehome, a 5-5 tie against Lynden and a 9-4 loss against Ferndale.

Orcas hitting highlights against Sehome was a home run by Alicia Susol, a triple by Bethany Hansen and doubles by Nigretto and Rogers. Against Lynden, Nigretto hit a homer while Emma Minnis and Rogers doubled. Bethany Hansen hit a home run against Ferndale while Rogers hit a triple and Nigretto hit a double.
