The Oak Harbor Legion baseball team scored 15 runs over the final two innings to blow open a tight game and win 17-3 in six innings at Sedro-Woolley Friday, May 29, in the season opener.

Ahead 2-0 going into the top of the fifth inning, the Wildcats plated seven runs, then added eight more in the sixth.
