The Chokers took two losses at the NWAC Championships losing to the North Idaho College Cardinals and the Edmonds College Tritons.

The first game of the tournament was a tall order for the Chokers as North Idaho was the number one overall seed coming into the tournament.  The Chokers played them tough but ultimately were defeated 9-1 with Reese Wiseman hitting a solo homerun to put the Chokers on the board.

Game two was a different story, but same result as the Chokers dropped the game to the Tritons 7-6.  The Chokers got on a hot streak backed by a huge 3-run homerun by Lexie Cudaback putting the Chokers up 3-2.  They continued with Ronni Graham hitting a solo bomb and scoring two others again on the big bat of Cudaback with a 2-RBI double.  The Chokers gave up one in the 5th and 3 in the 6th to allow the Tritons to tie it up at 6-6 going into the last inning.  The Chokers threatened with runners in scoring position, but a clutch strikeout by the Triton pitcher ended the threat with no runs scored.  In the bottom of the 7th the Tritons managed to find some baserunners and a bloop single scored the walk off winning run, ending the Chokers postseason play in dramatic fashion.  

This ends the season for the Grays Harbor Chokers softball team with a great run and a goal accomplished in making it to the tournament!  With the coaching staff out recruiting and returning players hungry for more, the Chokers are looking good to have  a repeat chance at being back in the tournament next season!
