Friday’s rain postponement forced Battle Ground to play five games on Saturday in Spokane as the Tigers’ run ended just short of a trophy.

Battle Ground lost 7-0 to Chiawana in the first-round before the Tigers’ won three straight loser-out games — 12-8 over Moses Lake, 3-0 over Puyallup and 5-3 over Camas.

But the Tigers fell 3-1 to Redmond in a third-place semifinal.

Camas lost 4-3 to eventual state champion Jackson in the first round Saturday, and Skyview started Saturday with a 12-4 loss to eventual state runner Lake Stevens in the quarterfinals.

After Camas beat Central Valley 4-2 in a loser-out game, the Papermakers eliminated Skyview 2-1 before falling to Battle Ground.
