BEARVILLE — Region 3 foe Cook High ended three Pierce County winning streaks in taking the Class AA semifinal opener no-hitting the Bears in a 1-0 “mercy rule” five-inning win here Wednesday.

The 12th-seed Hornets (23-12), winners in 11 of their last 13 games, snapped a 10-game losing streak to the top-seed Bears’ (31-4) that included two three-game regular season sweeps the last two seasons and a two-game sweep in last year’s second round of the state tournament in the May 13 Game 1 win.

PCHS had its school-record 24game winning streak end as well as a 14-game home winning streak in the playoffs dating back to a Game 3 loss in the 2022 semifinals to Redan.
