YAKIMA -- Kennewick used its dominance of the Baker games to get past Pasco and win the CBBN 4A district title at Nob Hill Lanes, with both teams qualifying for next weekend's state tournament at Narrows Plaza Bowl in University Place.
Paced by Joia Watkins, who was second on the day with a 191.5 average, the Bulldogs held a 41-pin lead after the two scratch games.
"Our strength has been the regular games this year, but the girls came together as a team and trusted each other," said Lions coach Oscar Garnica. "That was the difference."
Pasco struggled in the Baker format, in which each bowler rolls two frames in a game, but Yvette Yzaguirre was able to close out the final match as the Bulldogs held off Moses Lake by 34 pins to qualify for state for the second straight year.
Team scores (top 2 to state) -- Kennewick 2,175, Pasco 2,111, Moses Lake 2,077, Eisenhower 2,058.
