Bellingham, WALocal News

Cal Raleigh's 32nd home run propelled the Mariners to an 11-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins, extending his remarkable streak to four consecutive games. He is the first player in Mariners history and the first catcher in MLB history to achieve ten home runs in three straight months. The Bells will play the Wenatchee AppleSox in a key North Division series after suffering their first series loss of the season. The Storm are riding a three-game winning streak and will host the Indiana Fever, featuring star Caitlin Clark, who leads the league in assists. Lynden High School has announced the addition of girls flag football, officially recognized by the WIAA, making it the fifth school in Whatcom County to offer the sport.

Athletic Director Mike McKee anticipates that about half of the Northwest Conference will adopt girls flag football in the coming years. The school is currently seeking a coach and has applied for a grant from the Seattle Seahawks to help establish the new program. These developments highlight an exciting time for local sports in the Pacific Northwest.
