Edmonds Community College has moved into a three-way tie with Everett and Shoreline for first place in the NWAACC North Division softball standings.
At the midway point of the season, all three teams boast 12-4 league records.
The Tritons (13-9 overall) took two games from Olympic Tuesday afternoon by narrow 4-3 and 7-6 scores to extend their winning streak to eight.
Edmonds snapped Shoreline’s five-game streak with a doubleheader sweep April 17 at Lynnwood High School.
April Ross tagged a home run to help Edmonds eke out a 2-1 victory in the first game and pitcher Therese Mickelson limited Shoreline to three hits.
The Tritons then erupted for 15 hits en route to a 9-0 shutout in the late game. Cathy Mangano and Nichole Rainer both homered and Jenn Brown was 4-for-4 for Edmonds.
UNDEFEATED: The Edmonds CC baseball team kept its undefeated record intact with an April 18 sweep of Bellevue.
Owen Williams collected nine strikeouts, allowed five hits and threw all nine innings in a 1-0 win in the first game. Edmonds piled up 15 hits in a 19-5 victory in the late game.
With the wins, the Tritons improved to 10-0 in North Division play and 21-5 overall. In the first coaches poll of the season, Edmonds was ranked second behind Columbia Basin.
SIGNING DAY: Edmonds CC’s Tyler MacMullen signed a letter of intent last week to play basketball at Western Washington University.
The 6-foot-9, 225-pound junior center was a first-team North Division all-star this season for an Edmonds team that took seventh at the NWAACC tournament.
MacMullen, 22, ranked second in the NWAACC in rebounds and was one of just two players in the entire conference to average a double-double.
Western returns three of its top four scorers from this season’s 17-10 team.
