Five errors defensively and another off night at the plate doomed Black Hills in its 15-0, five-inning Evergreen Conference loss against Shelton on Wednesday night in Shelton.
The victory by the Highclimbers finalizes the teams from the EvCo to make the Class 2A District 4 tournament. They will either be the third or fourth seed once the brackets are out next week. The Wolves (3-12, 2-8 EvCo) allowed seven runs in the second inning and eight in the third.
Six straight walks started the second before a three-run triple broke the game open. Three runs scored on errors in the third and another bases-clearing triple occurred in the frame. Chase Chandler was the lone Wolves batter to notch a hit.
Black Hills will face Centralia on Friday in a non-league game.
