ADNA — Forks’ season came to a close with a 9-2 loss to Pacific League foe Ilwaco in the Class 2B Southwest District Tournament on Thursday at Adna High School.
The Spartans were in the game early, tying it up at 1-all in the second inning on Jack Delgado’s RBI single to right field and loading the bases when the next batter, Bubba Hernandez, was hit by a pitch.
Unfortunately, Forks batted into a double play to end the threat and Ilwaco went off from there, adding runs in every inning of the contest, including a two-run home run by Boston Caron to make it 6-1 in the bottom of the fourth.
Delgado was a bright spot for the Spartans, going 3-for-3 at the plate with two RBIs.
Landin Davis went 2-for-4 and scored a run in his final game in navy and yellow.
Forks finished the season with a 14-6 record.
