1A, 2A districts resume today

TACOMA — Sequim and Chimacum continue their quests for state softball berths today at Sprinker Fields.

The Wolves and Cowboys, along with Port Angeles, were slated to play the second day of their district tournaments Saturday, but rain delayed the games until today.

Chimacum (12-6) will face Klahowya (14-7) for the Class 1A West Central District’s third and final seed at this weekend’s state tournament in Richland.

The Eagles were the only team to beat the Cowboys in Olympic League 1A play this season.

The loser of today’s game, which starts at 1 p.m., will be eliminated from the postseason.

The 1A state tournament is Friday and Saturday at Columbia Playfields in Richland.

Sequim (16-5) plays Steilacoom (13-7) in a loser-out game at 11 a.m. in the 2A District 2/3 Tournament.

The winner moves on to a winner-to-state/loser-out game against either Franklin Pierce (8-12) or Sammamish (9-13) at 3 p.m.

The victor of that second game will be part of a coin flip, along with the team that emerges from the other side of the consolation bracket, to determine District 2/3’s fifth and sixth seeds at the 2A state tournament, which is this Friday and Saturday at Carlon Park in Selah.

Because it had already clinched a state berth, Port Angeles (22-0) does not need to return to Sprinker Fields today. Instead, the Roughriders were given the second seed at the 2A state tournament.
