What looked like a second surefire win in a row for the Ballard High School baseball team slipped away as Woodinville scored seven runs in the bottom of the final inning.

The Beavers poured on the offense April 3, scoring two runs in the first inning, two in the fifth and five in the sixth, and lead 9-3 going into the last inning.

Pitcher Dylan Murphy came in to close out the game and earned the loss, giving up four runs on two hits.

The good news for Ballard is the offense seems to be on track, averaging just under 10 runs in the last three games.

Murphy went three-for-five with one run, Kyler Korsmo went two-for-four with two runs, and starting pitcher Nick Palewicz hit two-for-three with two RBIs.

Ballard goes up against Newport at 3:45 p.m., April 7 at Whitman Middle School.
