The Shorecrest Scots will square off against the Everett Seagulls at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Shorecrest will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each game than the last.
Shorecrest had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Marysville-Pilchuck on Tuesday. The Scots' pitchers stepped up to hand the Tomahawks a 10-0 shutout. That ten run margin sets a new team best for the Scots this season.
Kaden Hamshaw made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk any time he's pitched this season. He was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 1-for-1 with one double and one RBI.
