No. 2 Lake Stevens 3, No. 6 Bothell 1
BELLEVUE — The Vikings (15-6) avenged last year’s district playoff loss to Bothell and defeated the Cougars in a loser-out contest to clinch a spot in the state tournament for the first time since 2017. Lake Stevens scored two of their runs in the first inning as Julian Wilson (2-for-3, SB, 2B, 2 RBI, run) and Josh Bouley (1-for-3, RBI) each singled to bring runs in. Aspen Alexander (0-for-1, 2 SB, 2 runs) led the Lake Stevens offense with two runs on some nifty base-running. Charles Long-Scott pitched just over six innings, striking out five and allowing five hits and an earned run. The Vikings will face No. 1 North Creek for fifth place on Saturday at Bannerwood Park.
No. 1 North Creek 6, No. 5 Kamiak 1
BELLEVUE — The Knights (14-9) fell to the top-seeded Jaguars, ending their season one win short of state. Andrew Fetty (3-for-3, 2B, run) was perfect from the plate, accounting for half of Kamiak’s hits on a 6-for-27 day.

Semifinal: No. 8 Jackson vs. No. 4 Lake Washington at Funko Field, postponed
No. 4 Archbishop Murphy 5, No. 5 Sehome 0
ANACORTES — The Wildcats (15-10) scored four first-inning runs and got a 14-K no-hitter from pitcher Henry Gabalis in seven innings to win a second straight loser-out game. Gabalis walked just two hitters and faced 24 total in his complete game, while Mason Reinhard (1-for-3, HR, 3 RBI, run) homered in the first to bring in three runs. The strong performance advances the Wildcats to Saturday’s second-place game, where they’ll have a shot to clinch state against No. 6 Bellingham in another loser-out contest.
