Tumwater ended its regular season slate on a high note on Friday, topping Shelton 9-2 at home.
The game was scoreless after one inning, but Tumwater scored six runs in the second to jump in front.
The first four batters of the inning reached base, and a Sophie Skillman RBI single and Chloe Foos two-run single made it 3-0. Later in the inning, Megan Barrett hit an RBI double, and Brielle Womach capped the rally with a two-run home run to center.
In the third, Kiera Rich added an RBI with a single, and Skillman added a two-run single in the sixth.
Skillman finished with three hits and three RBIs, while Barrett, Womach, and Sarah Stevens finished with two hits apiece.
Stevens pitched five and a third shutout innings, allowing just four hits while walking two and striking out 11, while Rich pitched the final inning and two-thirds.
Tumwater (12-8) will host Hockinson, the GHSL’s No. 6 seed, in a pigtail matchup on Tuesday. The winner of that game will play Ridgefield, the GSHL’s No. 2 seed, in a district quarterfinal on Thursday at Recreation Park in Chehalis.
