Two powerhouse baseball teams meet up on Shorewood’s Turf
By Sheri Ashleman
Join the Shorewood Boys Varsity Baseball Team at their home game on Thursday, April 14, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. as they take on the Redmond Mavericks of the Kingco 4A league. Both teams feature strong pitching staffs.
Due to the media interest in Redmond’s pitchers and Shorewood’s own superstars—University of Washington-commit Blake Snell, Gonzaga recruit Kevin Moriarty and UW signee Trevor Mitsui--there will probably be upwards of 50 professional and/or collegiate scouts present.
Shorewood moved down from 4A to 3A division this year. In a recent Wesco 3A baseball coaches’ poll, Shorewood was projected to have the top team in the division. The 2010 squad finished fourth in state, and Shorewood baseball coach Wyatt Tonkin believes this season’s group has state-champion potential.
Shorewood Boosters will be hosting a “Spirit Grill” at the Shorewood baseball field located at the south end of campus. The barbecue will start at 3:00 p.m. for those who show up early to catch player warm up. Enjoy ball park favorites--grilled hot dogs, chips, apple slices, Cracker Jack and a beverage—all for only $5. It is anticipated the stands will be packed, so bring your own chair if you want to be guaranteed a seat. Booster gear will be available for purchase.
Shorewood fans including students, parents, staff, alumni and community members are encouraged to attend and cheer on the fabulous Shorewood Thunderbirds.
Root root root for the home team!
