For the first time ever, a Washington state baseball team has punched its ticket to the Connie Mack World Series — and it’s no ordinary squad. The NW 509 Stars, a powerhouse forged from rival Spokane and Tri-City travel ball teams, crushed their way into the national spotlight with a 26-6 win at a June qualifier in Spokane and a blistering 31-4 record this summer.
