Both JV and Varsity ended non-league play on Wednesday, with varsity at home and JV on the road, both against Ferndale. 

At home, the varsity squad found itself in a 3-0 hole going into the 6th inning, but a 4-run rally wasn't enough as Ferndale carried the day 5-4.

In JV action, the Wildcats got blanked 8-0.

League play opened Friday with Getchell varsity at Oak Harbor and JV teams playing in Marysville.

For a while it looked as if the game would not be played, as a strong shower rolled through the area around 2:30.  Fortunately, the home field was dry to begin with, and with the rain tapering off at 3:30, the game got underway, ending under bright sunshine.

Oak Harbor grabbed an early 2-0 lead, but Getchell came back to tie the game, forcing an 8th inning.  In the bottom of the 8th, the Wildcats got runners to 1st and 3rd, then a Charger error allowed Noah Zuniga to scoot home from 3rd, ending the game 3-2.

Next for the Wildcats is a 3-game series vs Everett.

Varsity plays on the road on April 7th and 10th, and at home on the 8th, with the JV team at the opposite location.
