Bulldogs face Kittitas/Thorpe

Colfax baseball players, who wrapped their NE title string last Tuesday at Medical Lake with wins over Kettle Falls and Asotin, will face Kittitas/Thorpe in the first game of the regional baseball round at Wenatchee Saturday at 10 a.m. Kittitas/Thorpe qualified as the number-three team out of the Central Washington League.

The Colfax-Kittitas game will be followed by the Tri Cities Prep-Liberty Bell game. Winners of the first two games will play for the regional ticket to the state final four next week at Centralia.

The Wenatchee regional is charted opposite the state 2B regional round at Adna High School and the qualifiers from those two sites will play in the first state round May 25. First-round games at Adna feature Kalama vs. Adna and Tonasket vs. Wahkiakum.

Other NE finishers, Asotin and St. George’s, play at Davis High in Yakima. Asotin will play DeSales, the number-two team from the SE, and St. George’s will play Brewster, the top finisher in the Central League.
