IHS blasted in fifth, remain winless

WARRENTON – A seven-run fifth inning spelled doom for Ilwaco as they dropped a 12-1 decision to Warrenton there Monday in a non-league baseball game. The Fishermen had played the best game of their season for the first four innings in a scoreless tie. In the bottom of the sixth a walk, passed ball and single upped the score to 10-1 and then Warrenton catcher Tom McFadden slammed a walk-off, two-run home run over the left field fence to end the contest 12-1 under the mercy rule. Ilwaco is now 0-5 for the season and 0-3 in the Trico League.
