Connell, WA – The #17 ranked Connell Lady Eagles (13-9, 7-7) returned to Yakima to face the #14 ranked Lady Goats (14-11) of Chelan Wednesday, May 14. Connell worked hard during the game against a feisty opponent. The Lady Eagles were able to earn a 13-3 victory over the Lady Goats. The victory guaranteed the Lady Eagles would play for a chance to go to the State Tournament.


In the second game of the day, the Lady Eagles faced the #19 ranked Cashmere Lady Bulldogs (14-10, 8-6) in round four of the tournament. The winner of this game would go to the State Tournament while the loser would have to play on Saturday, May 17, against #25 ranked Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) Lady Eagles (11-11), the #1 seed from the Northeast A League. Both teams played a tough game fighting for the right to play at State. Unfortunately, for the Lady Eagles, the day ended with a 7-6 defeat at the hands of the Lady Bulldogs.


Connell traveled back to Yakima on Saturday, May 17, for a chance to play at State. The Lady Eagles faced off against the Lady Eagles. The game did not disappoint fans for either school. Both teams were clearly determined to extend their season into the State Tournament. But it was the Connell Lady Eagles who walked off the field triumphant following another one run victory. Connell won the game 9-8.


The Connell Lady Eagles, up to #16 after last week’s District 5 Tournament, will open the State Tournament on Thursday, May 22, in Yakima. Connell will face the #19 Klahowya Lady Eagles (11-9-1) in a loser out game. If Connell makes it to the second round, they will face #3 Cedar Park Christian Lady Eagles (18-4), a private school in Bothell, in the eight-team double elimination portion of the tournament on Friday and Saturday, May 23 and 24. Come out and support your CHS softball teams.
