Eastlake 3, Bothell 2
It�s what Baseball is all about�great field, great
weather and a great game. The 16th game of the regular season was
both decisive and exciting as Eastlake edged the Bothell Cougars
by 1 run on the home field and on a perfect sunny afternoon. Ian
Farmer again went the distance and did the job as he hurled 130
pitches taking 7 strikeouts with 6 hits and 5 walks. The Cougars
scored early with a run in the first inning. Joel Newberry tied it
up for Eastlake with an RBI in the bottom of the first. Adam Hicks
broke the game open in the 4th inning with a double that scored 2
more runs. Bothell scored a run in the 6th inning but were kept at
bay by strong Eastlake defense. Ryan Focht was 1 for 2 at the
plate with a sacrifice fly and Kyle Walther was 1 for 3 at bat
with a great double play at second base to snuff out the final
inning for Bothell.
Wednesday the Wolves meet the Juanita Rebels on home field, and
the weather forecast is great.
