After some first-inning fireworks, the Oak Harbor High School baseball team’s offense fizzled in a 7-2 loss in a loser-out district tournament game at Marysville-Pilchuck Wednesday, May 13.

The loss ended Oak Harbor’s season; the Wildcats finished 14-8. Marysville-Pilchuck will play Ferndale Saturday for third place and the final state tournament berth.

Shorewood and Lynnwood meet Saturday for the district pennant.

Oak Harbor scored two runs in the top of the first inning at M-P but mustered only three base runners over the final six innings.

Kevyn Johnson led off the game with a walk and was bunted to second by C.J. Meders. After Brent Mertins singled, Tyler Snavely doubled in one run. Chris Trisler followed with an RBI single.

Oak Harbor left the bases loaded and would not put a runner on second the remainder of the game.

Meders walked in the second inning, Clay Doughty singled in the fourth and Mertins reached on an error in the fifth. That was it for the Oak Harbor offense.

Marysville-Pilchuck answered Oak Harbor’s first inning runs with three of its own of starter Snavely. A walk, two hits and a passed ball led to the trio of runs.

The Tomahawks scored one in the third inning, two in the fourth (a two-run home run by Tristan Southard) and one in the sixth to pull away.
