Softball squads nearing conference tournament | Prep sports news

The prep softball season is coming to a close, with all three local squads after postseason berths

Just more than a week remains in the 4A KingCo softball season, with all three local teams poised to make a run in the conference tournament.

Eastlake has two games left against league foes, and meets Roosevelt May 8 before closing the regular season May 14 against Bothell.

The first and last place teams in the Crest Division are separated by only three games in the win column, and the Wolves could climb as high as the second seed.

Issaquah and Skyline are in a virtual tie for second place in the Crown, with two games left to decide tournament seeds.

The Eagles meet division frontrunner Newport May 12, before facing Garfield May 14, while the Spartans face the Bulldgos May 12 and Roosevelt May 14.

Both Issaquah and Skyline could catch the Knights for the division title, and neither can fall below the third seed headed into the league tournament.
