Napvine 8, Mule 6 April 8: Our bats were on fire all day, with everyone getting in the hit column. Unfortunately we left some runners on base, made some base running errors, combined with one or two bad decisions on defense, and it put us in a position where we were down by five runs going into the bottom of the final inning. And although we came up short in the end, we did score three runs in that last inning and put the potential winning run at the plate.

The travel weary Wahkiakum Mules golf team was in dire need of some home cooking and good weather, and they had it at their March 24 match at Skyline Golf Course.

The battle ensued with LaBerge parring the first 4 holes and building a five stroke lead, not knowing that Wahkiakum’s number two player Kaleo Silva was staking his own claim by finishing second, shoot...

Photos by Todd Wilson The Wahkiakum Mules baseball team added three more to their win column this week. On March 31, the team traveled to South Bend and beat Raymond 23-2.
