It was another dominant performance on the mound for the Warriors as sophomore Finn Crawford pitched a complete game, one-hit shutout. Crawford allowed only one hit and two walks while striking out seven Red Wolves hitters.

While Crawford was keeping Cedarcrest from scoring runs, the Escandon brothers were doing their part to ensure that the Warriors had all of the offense that they would need. Senior Diego Escandon went two-for-three, with a double, two runs scored, two runs batted in and a stolen base. His younger brother, sophomore Cruz Escandon, was two-for-four with two runs and two stolen bases.

Lucas Wanke reached base four times, scored and drove in a run and stole two bases. Luke Boland and Thomas Shults also contributed with two RBI each.

Edmonds-Woodway improved its Wesco 3A South record to 5-0 and capped off a week in which they allowed only two combined base hits to their opponents over three games.
