Gonzaga Prep, University, West Valley earn top Greater Spokane League seeds to district play | Prep baseball
May 6—The District 6 baseball playoffs start Thursday with teams across the city and region vying for berths in the state tournaments. Here's a look at how the brackets shape up in each of the district tournaments. 4A (three to state) Gonzaga Prep (17-4) finished second in the Greater Spokane League but earned the league's top seed to districts.
Because the league alternates the No. 1 seed with the Mid-Columbia Conference each year, the Bullpups will be the No. 2 seed and host seventh-seeded Chiawana (12-9) on Saturday.
The winner will face the victor between third-seeded Kamiakin (16-4) and sixth-seeded Lewis and Clark (7-14) in a semifinal on Tuesday. Top-seeded Richland (20-1), the highest-ranked team in the state's RPI system, faces the winner of Thursday's play-in game between Pasco (4-17) and Mead (7-14). Fourth-seeded Ferris (11-9) hosts fifth-seeded Hanford (12-8) in the other first-round matchup.
The district championship and third-place games are May 16. 3A (three to state) GSL champion University (19-2, No. 3 RPI) is the top seed and hosts the winner of Thursday's play-in game between Shadle Park (6-14) and Walla Walla (5-13).
That winner takes on the survivor between fourth-seeded Southridge (12-9) and fifth-seeded Ridgeline (13-8) on Saturday. On the other side of the bracket, second-seeded Kennewick (16-5, No. 5 RPI) hosts seventh-seeded Central Valley (6-15), and third-seeded Mt.
