Union’s quest of the 4A state championship in slowpitch softball fell short with a 21-0 loss to Chiawana of Pasco on Saturday in Yakima.

Bailey Gleich went 2 for 2 for the Titans, who were only able to manage seven singles off the Riverhawks.

Still the runner-up finish is the best for any Clark County program in a state tournament in slowpitch softball.

Columbia River took home the fourth-place trophy in the 3A/2A tournament by beating Evergreen 31-10.

The game was tied 10-10 going into the seventh inning when the Rapids poured on 21 runs in the inning.

Aurora Wiley was 5 for 6 with two home runs and eight RBI, Zaya Ehlers-Bakacs was 4 for 6 with two RBI, and Sydney Seibert-Wilder was 4 for 6 with a double, two triples and five RBI for River. Zoey Mikkelson was 3 for 3 with a double and RBI for Evergreen.

River would go on to fall to Walla Walla 31-8 in the third place game.
