Skyline leading pack on baseball diamond | Prep sports news

Scores, highlights and updates from prep sports in Issaquah and Sammamish

Only a week remains in the 4A KingCo baseball season, and Skyline finds itself at the top of the Crown Division with three games remaining.

The Spartans fell 6-2 to Redmond last week, and meet Garfield Thursday looking for its first win in three games.

The final week of the season will give Skyline a pair of opportunities to lock up a division championship and top seed in the conference tournament, with games against Issaquah and Newport.

The Knights and Eagles play Wednesday, and are in the mix with Roosevelt in a tightly packed division race.

Eastlake after playoff spot

The Wolves lost 5-2 to Issaquah Monday, and have a week off before getting back into Crest play to finish the regular season.

Eastlake meets first place Bothell and last place Woodinville next week, with the Falcons trailing by only one game for the fourth and final KingCo tournament spot.

Crusaders hoping for strong finish

Eastside Catholic beat Nathan Hale 4-2 Monday to pick up its fifth Metro win of the season, and faces Bishop Blanchet twice to finish the week looking to gain ground on Seattle Prep and Bainbridge in the Mountain Division.

Skyline softball in solid position

Skyline is one of only two teams in the division with a winning record in conference play, along with Newport, and meet Redmond Wednesday after handing Garfield a 27-2 defeat Monday.

Eastlake is 4-2 in conference play, but finds itself battling for positioning in a Crest Division where every team has at least a .500 winning percentage overall.
