Top-ranked Auburn Mountainview’s season came to end with a 7-4 loss to Shorewood in a state 3A baseball quarterfinal playoff Saturday at Bannerwood Park in Bellevue.

The Lions (22-2) scored three runs in the first inning, with Josh Swanson driving in Mason Cerillo and Jeff Morgan – who each singled – and Justin Marsden bringing home Swanson.

“We had it under control, but I thought we’d run away with it a little bit,” Lion coach Glen Walker told KING 5. “We left the door open and we didn’t make some plays that we needed to make and they capitalized on them.”

Shorewood (21-4) scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning and never gave up the lead, holding off a truncated rally in the fifth inning sparked Marsden’s sacrifice bunt.

The Thunderbirds’ Cole McKisson settled down after the first inning, holding the Lions to just seven hits with nine strikeouts and no walks.

Auburn Mountainview’s Jared Gray was tagged with the loss, allowing seven runs and striking out three.

Shorewood advances to play Central Kitsap in the semifinals next Saturday at Husky Stadium.

In the first round of the state tournament, the Lions pounded Seattle Prep 8-1 with Marsden allowing just five hits in six innings and striking out 11.

Swanson led the Lions with four RBIs.
