The combined North and Central Little League 9/10 softball team dropped its District 11 opener to Anacortes Sunday, July 1, at Oak Harbor's Volunteer Park.

Coach Jan Sabalausky called the 36-10 loss a "walkfest" and not atypical of this age group.

The North/Central club looks to get a win when it faces Sedro-Woolley at 6 p.m. at Volunteer Park Monday, July 2.

North and Central Whidbey, which scored six of its runs in the final inning, was led on offense by Shelby Chambers and Jules Toney who both reached base three times.

Sabalausky also lauded the defensive play of catcher Chambers, saying "she saved at least eight more runs just by her catching ability."
