Shorewood will seek a baseball sweep at Everett Tuesday after defeating Everett 3-1 Friday at Meridian Park School.

Shorewood and Everett go into the Tuesday game tied for fifth in the Western Conference 3A division with 5-6 division records.

The Friday victory moved the Thunderbirds ahead of Oak Harbor, which had held the sixth and final Western Conference berth in the Northwest District 3A tournament before Shorewood’s victory dropped Oak Harbor into seventh place.

Shorewood takes a 6-9 overall record into the Tuesday game at Everett (5-10 overall).

Shorewood's Duncan Hendrickson broke a 1-1 tie with an RBI double and scored on Ben Andrews' RBI triple in the bottom of the sixth inning.
