MOSES LAKE — In this episode of the STUDIO BASIN Podcast, Managing Editor R. Hans “Rob” Miller sits down with Grant County Sheriff Joey Kriete to discuss the issues the county is facing with fentanyl. The pair discuss what the challenges are for law enforcement as officers work to stem the tide of the dangerous drug in the county and review statistics for Washington and the county in relation to fentanyl overdoses.

In sports, the Quincy baseball team took down the Royal Knights in a doubleheader Saturday, winning 8-2 in the first game before a 5-2 win in the nightcap. The Moses Lake 4x100-meter relay team broke a school record that was held for more than 40 years at a recent meet and is looking to keep improving as the season progresses.
