MILL CREEK – The Jackson High School softball team had a rough outing Monday, but it definitely worked out well for Mountlake Terrace.
The Hawks capitalized on five Jackson errors to win the Western Conference South Division contest 3-0.
Mountlake Terrace junior Jamie Foote hit a home run in the fourth inning, the only run earned run of the game.
Four off Jackson’s five errors came on throws and that, according to Jackson head coach Mike Moran, made the difference.
“Pitching was very good for both sides,” Moran said. “Take out some of the errors and it’s just the one home run that was the difference.”
Lindsay Woodhouse (7-2) recorded the complete-game victory, striking out seven. Her counterpart, Jackson’s Rachel Koenig-Eng, struck out nine, also in seven innings.
The victory puts Mountlake Terrace (6-2, 8-2) in a second-place tie with Jackson (6-2, 7-3) in the Wesco South. They both trail undefeated Kamiak (7-0, 9-0).
