Richland's sweep creates mess below it

By the Herald staff

The CBL 4A playoff picture became quite messy with Richland's 10-0, 7-2 sweep of Pasco at Gesa Stadium, combined with Davis' split with Wenatchee and Eisenhower's sweep at Walla Walla.

As a result, the Bulldogs finished in a three-way tie for second with Davis and Moses Lake, forcing a two-day playoff to determine the No. 2 district seed.

Davis plays Pasco on Monday, with the winner traveling to Moses Lake on Tuesday.

Richland already had clinched the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage.
