The Wolves trailed by just two runs, 5-3, going into the sixth inning. Sequim got on the board in the first when Rylie Doig led off with a double and Mia Kirner followed with an RBI single. The Wolves scored two more runs in the fourth when Ava Ritter singled, Kylie Winter laid down her second bunt single of the game, and Rylin Whitehead’s single brought home Winter.
Kylie Winter was also outstanding in left field, making multiple tough catches. Senior pitcher Mickey Greene pitched a solid seven innings.
