Auburn 17, Curtis 16: A high scoring affair could only end one way — late inning drama.
Down by six runs going into the bottom half of the seventh inning — with the season on the line — the Trojans scored seven to overcome the Vikings. The game-winning hit came on a Lynneti Aumua single to center field to score Charity Sevaatasi.
Sevaatasi was the Trojans’ leader on offense as well, going 2 for 2 with a triple and driving in five runs and scoring twice.
Leading the way for the Vikings was Gabby Ginnis, hitting two triples in her 4-for-5 day and driving in four.
Federal Way 6, Olympia 3: A few late runs helped the Eagles overcome the Bears on Tuesday and allowed them to advance in the district tournament.

Galapon went 2 for 3 on the day, launching a home run and driving in two. Melissa Mateus also went 2 for 4 with a double, driving in one run.
Olympia’s Hailey Lasmanis had a home run, double and two RBIs in the loss.
