The Wolverine women’s fastpitch softball team had quite a season, wrapping it up at the state tournament over memorial day weekend.

The tournament started off with a bang– Friday Harbor triumphed over Okanogen 16-9. Emma Wickman had two singles, two RBI’s and a home run. Hayden Mayer also chalked up two RBI’s as well as two doubles. Hannah Hopkins hit two singles and an RBI, and Lili Wood had a triple and an RBI. The team was on fire, bringing in 14 hits and 13 RBI’s.

The Wolverines put up a good fight against defending champions, Adna with Mili Holt getting 14 outs, and Emma Wickman added 3 RBI’s to her stats against their number one pitcher. In the end, however, they lost 12-4.

Saturday, Friday Harbor beat Mary Walker High, with a home runs hit by Emma Wickman and Lili Wood, but then lost to Warden 11-1, ending the tournament for the Wolverines.

The team headed home with an eighth place win overall.

“Our ladies were exhausted,” Kirk Holt said, “They played their hearts out. This is the first time Friday Harbor softball has made it this far.”
