Borderite baseball started its season off strong with a 7-6 win against Bellingham March 22. The game, which was originally supposed to be played in Blaine at Pipeline Fields, was moved to Bellingham High School’s turf field due to rain.
The Borderites capitalized on some rusty Bayhawk fielding in the fourth and fifth innings, taking the lead and extending it to 5-3 after Bellingham overthrew a runner at third. Blaine’s defense also prevented many runners from getting on base in the middle innings. The Bayhawks clawed their way back into the game to make for a narrow last couple of innings. It finished 7-6.
