MESSAGE FROM COACH ANDERSON

On Senior Night with major playoff implications on the line, the Cubs delivered one of their most dramatic wins of the season, walking it off in the seventh to defeat Ferndale 5–4. In a game that felt like postseason baseball from the first pitch, Ferndale grabbed control early with two runs in the third, then added runs in the sixth and seventh to take a 4–1 lead into the final frame.  Down to their last three outs, the Cubs responded.

Sedro-Woolley came alive in the bottom of the seventh, putting runners on and forcing the issue. The lineup stayed composed, working quality at-bats and applying pressure until the moment opened up. That moment belonged to Senior Michael Lloyd. With the game on the line, Lloyd delivered a walk-off double, driving in the winning runs and completing the Cubs’ four-run rally to secure the 5–4 victory. Lloyd finished a perfect night at the plate: 3-for-3 with a double and 2 RBIs, including the game-winner

The rally was supported by contributions throughout:

•  Sophomore Treysen Plymale: 2 hits and 3 stolen bases, consistently creating pressure
• Senior Ryder Arellano: reached base twice and helped keep the rally going
• Senior Lane Guffie: Kept the line moving with a walk
• Junior Colby Silvis: delivered a key RBI with a walk
• Senior Talon Thompson: aggressive on the bases, scoring twice and swiping 3 bags

On the mound, Senior Trey Gardner battled through 6.1 innings, keeping the Cubs within striking distance despite Ferndale’s late runs. Senior Jacob Martin came on in relief to finish the game and give the offense a chance in the final inning. 

Game Takeaways

• Walk-off moment: Lloyd’s double seals the comeback

• Resilience: four runs in the final inning

• Senior Night impact: delivered under pressure

• Aggressive baserunning: Got the first run on the board

With the season and playoff positioning on the line, the Cubs didn’t wait for something to happen. They made it happen. And now they are in a good position to qualify for the District 1 3A Playoffs. The Cubs finish up league play with a game at Lakewood on Thursday afternoon at 4 PM.
