Baseball Braves beaten by Friday Harbor

A major fire struck downtown Friday Harbor Thursday morning.

The next day the town’s high school baseball team, the defending NW2B2B/1B champions, was equally hot.

The Wolverines (5-0 in league) opened their April 8 conference game at La Conner with three consecutive line drive hits, setting the tone for a convincing 13-0 triumph.

The youthful Braves (1-4) were coming off a ten-run victory the week before over Concrete. But Friday Harbor made sure the home team did not win a second straight game.

“Friday Harbor,” coach Jeremiah LeSourd conceded afterward, “is a tough team.”

It didn’t help that...
