Blaine club softball players win state championship in Moses Lake

The Whatcom Wolverines won the 16U B softball state tournament July 10 in Moses Lake, beating a Richland team 9-2 and 14-6 in a double-elimination championship.

The team included three Blaine High School athletes; Emersyn Bakker, Piper Nissen and Shaylie Daniels. The girls won six out of seven games in the three-day, 16 and under fastpitch softball tournament. Since it was double elimination, the Wolverines needed to beat Menace, from Richland, twice in the championship game because they were undefeated.
