The championship game is set for 5:30 tonight at IHS.
Eastlake moves
into top slot
Eastlake moved into a tie for first place with Woodinville Tuesday night, beating the Falcons 1-0 at Eastlake High. The Wolves broke the game open in the fifth inning when Marissa Guches belted a solo home run over the fence. Stephanie Fox pitched a complete game shutout. Eastlake moved into a tie with Woodinville, improving to 17-2 in league. Eastlake had one game remaining Wednesday against Juanita. Woodinville, 17-2, had one remaining game against Roosevelt. If both teams finish in a tie they will likely play a tiebreaker today, May 9 to decide the No. 1 seed in the KingCo 4A tournament.
