The Pirates defeated the visiting Eagles from Life Christian 8-2 at Jim Martin Field on April 26.

Erik Powelson pitched the final three innings allowing one earned run on just one hit and five strikeouts. The leading Pirate hitters were Ezra Lacina with two hits and two RBIs and Tyler Bernheisel who also collected two hits. Julian Smith, Peter Johnson, Zack Drape, Dustin Corthell, and Gus Dierks all had hits as well.
The Pirates started their second string in the game but because of a narrow 2-1 Vashon lead, a nervous Coach Hall put in the starters in the bottom of the fourth inning. The team quickly responded with six runs and took control of the game. “The 2nd team guys did a good job on defense but just couldn't put together a rally to get a lead and we had to go to the big boys” said Coach Hall.
Line score: Vashon 8 Runs, 9 Hits, 2 Errors Life Christian 2 Runs, 5 Hits, 4 Errors.
