Jeremiah Arnett’s 11-strikeout masterpiece, Zach Doyle’s perfect day at the plate, and a handful of one-run thrillers highlighted a memorable night across the Pacific Northwest. Pitchers stole the spotlight in several games, but timely hitting and late drama still produced plenty of excitement.
Wenatchee 10, Port Angeles 3
Wenatchee seized control early and cruised thanks to sharp pitching and a hot bat at the top of the order. Felix Schlede set the tone with three scoreless innings, and Noah Sorensen slammed the door with three shutout frames and four strikeouts for the save. Zach Doyle went 4-for-4 with two doubles, four runs scored, and two walks. Bryce Hampton added two hits and three RBI. Jordan Daniels had two hits including a double for Port Angeles.
Edmonton 3, Nanaimo 2

Kai Twaites earned the win with 3.1 innings of work, and Beckett Turnbow delivered two scoreless innings with four strikeouts in relief.

Kamloops 3, Kelowna 2
