SHORELINE — Arlington didn’t expect such an easy game, but it will take it.

The Eagles, 20-4, had already clinched a state playoff berth, but were playing Snohomish for third place at districts.

Arlington pounded out a 13-3 win in six innings.

Six Snohomish pitchers helped Arlington by walking 14 Eagles.

Gavin Rork walked four times from his leadoff spot. And when he did get the chance to hit the ball, he smacked an inside-the-park home run. Owen Bishop also hit a homer, along with a double, and knocked in three runs. They both scored twice.

Another plus going into the state tournament, Arlington was able to use three pitchers to keep their pitch counts down.

Jake Russell pitched the first two innings, AJ Croom went three for the win and Bishop finished.

“Russell and Croom haven’t gotten a lot of usage this year because we’ve been so good around them, so we wanted to get them some work today,” Arlington Coach Scott Striegel said. “They both attacked the zone and forced Snohomish to put balls in play, and then our defense made the plays.”

Arlington will play at 10 a.m. Saturday in Mount Vernon. Tristan Sheward will start that loser-out game, with Bishop ready for a possible afternoon contest.
