Shorecrest softball season ends with 3-2 State tournament loss to Juanita

Shorecrest softball season ends with 3-2 State tournament loss to Juanita Saturday despite efforts of Alisa Kaufold.

Alisa Kaufold did all she could to give Shorecrest a boost, but it wasn't enough to get past Juanita, as Shorecrest lost 3-2 in six innings in a State 3A tournament elimination game Saturday.

Kaufold paced Shorecrest at the plate. She went 1 for 3 and drove in one. She doubled in the sixth inning.

Juanita’s winning pitcher allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings. She struck out two, walked none and surrendered five hits.

Juanita went up for good in the third, scoring one run.

Juanita scored one run in the fifth inning, and followed it with one more in the sixth.

After pushing across two runs in the bottom of the sixth, Shorecrest faced just a 3-2 deficit. A two-run double by Kaufold triggered Shorecrest's comeback.

Shorecrest had lost to Holy Names and defeated Kelso and Peninsula in Friday games.
