Meanwhile, Cedarcrest won against Sammamish on Wednesday with 19 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Friday. The Red Wolves' pitchers stepped up to hand Bellevue a 19-0 shutout.

She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over four innings pitched. Bottemiller was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and one double.

Another player making a difference was Kyle Watson, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one double.
Cedarcrest kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 20 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 4.7 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matchups they've averaged 15.
The win got Cedarcrest back to even at 6-6. As for Interlake, their victory bumped their record up to 10-4.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Interlake has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Cedarcrest struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
