| 4A baseball playoff clarification |
|
Hello all,
Noticed a comment from Monday's scores that noted that Battle Ground and Heritage have already clinched berths to state.
The answer is no.
Battle Ground and Heritage play each other Thursday in the Class 4A District 4 championship game. The winner will advance to the round of 16 — four regional playoff sites with four teams at each site. Even though baseball people call this the regionals, it is, technically, the state tournament.
The loser of the district championship game will then host a one-game playoff Saturday at Propstra Stadium against a team from the Puget Sound area. The winner of that Saturday game will then earn a trip to state regionals.
The person who left the comment might have been confused because the official state bracket at wiaa.com does list District 4 No. 2 on one of its brackets. That would be the GSHL.
Last year, though, the GSHL only had one slot to state. The GSHL combined with another district , giving the GSHL the opportunity to get two teams to state. In return, the GSHL agreed to do the same this year, giving up one of its two guaranteed slots to state to battle with another district.
If the GSHL did not have this agreement, then last year only one team would have had a shot to go to state. Instead, Prairie went as district champs, and Heritage had a chance to go. (The Timberwolves, however, lost the one-game playoff with the other district.) This year, without the agreement, the top two teams from the league would have gone to state.
It still can happen, but the No. 2 team will have to win another playoff game.
I hope this helps, and I hope this does not discourage people from questioning us. We appreciate the feedback, and there are many, many examples of readers telling us we made a mistake and they were right.
— Paul Valencia
