Shorewood softball team finished season with loss at Meadowdale Wednesday after split at Oak Harbor Monday

The Shorewood softball team finished its season with a loss at Meadowdale Wednesday in a game originally scheduled for Shorewood’s home Meridian Park field.

The Wednesday game came after Shorewood split a double-header at Oak Harbor Monday, winning a

suspended game from April 11 that had started at Meridian Park, and losing a full game at Oak Harbor.

The final losses left the Thunderbirds seventh in the nine-team Western Conference 3A division with a 4-12 record (4-16 overall). The top six teams in the division qualified for the Northwest District 3A tournament next week.

Shorewood won the suspended game, 8-7, in extra innings, Dani Norsby hit 3-for-4, with a double; Celine Ulrich hit 2-for-4, with a triple; and Stephanie Volbrecht hit a game-winning single in the ninth inning.
