Edmonds-Woodway is 9-1 against Shorewood since April of 2021 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Saturday. The Warriors will be playing at home against the Stormrays at 10:00 a.m. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Edmonds-Woodway 2, Shorewood 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Edmonds-Woodway is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Stanwood just ended the team's eight-game winning streak on Tuesday. They fell just short of the Spartans by a score of 2-1.
Declan Crawford was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he struck out six batters over 5.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in April.

Jameson Connolly was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over seven innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one stolen base and one run.
