The Washington State champion North Bothell Little League team rallied from an early 5-1 deficit to win their opening game of the Little League Northwest Regional Tournament, defeating Abbott-O-Rabbit from Alaska 14-9.

Sam Petritz led the way offensively for Bothell, going 3-for-4 with three RBIs, with five other players - Austin Baek, Derek Lohr, Carson Ryder, Josh Kollman and Nick Aucott - notching two hits apiece. One of Lohr's hits was a home run which he launched to lead off the fifth inning.
