Both the Mountlake Terrace High School baseball and softball teams added on to current winning streaks by grabbing easy victories on Wednesday; the Hawk baseball team clobbered the Shorecrest Scots 11-1, while the Terrace softball squad bashed the Marysville Getchell Chargers14-3.
The Hawk baseball team just needed five innings to finish off Shorecrest on Wednesday as the game was shortened due to the 10-run mercy rule. Terrace has racked up 21 runs off of 16 hits in 12 innings against the struggling Scots this week and has now won five in a row.
Sophomore Ben Reijonen picked up his first RBI of the season with a game-ending, two-run single in the bottom of the fifth inning. Senior Quintin Barnard continued swinging a hot bat, going two-for-two and raising his batting average to .314. Jason Shevenko currently leads the Hawk offensive attack ,hitting .352.
Wednesday’s win evened Terrace’s Wesco league record at 7-7; the team is 9-8 overall. The victory enabled the Hawks to stay even with Meadowdale for third place in the Wesco 3A South Conference as the Mavericks handed Shorewood their first lost of the year 3-1 on Wednesday.
