CHENEY — The girls softball team will take a strong finish into this week’s District 8 playoffs.
The Blackhawks raced past North Central 19-1 on May 3 to conclude league play and have won seven of the last 10 games to land in third place, earning a No. 8 seed.
Maya De La Cruz and Reese Scholle combined for a one-hitter. Adrian George was 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs and Mia Ashcroft 3-for-5 with a pair of RBIs.
Cheney (12-8, 12-6 in league) traveled to Kennewick to face Southridge (14-6) May 7. The teams play in a modified double elimination bracket where the third seed to state will be the last team out of the losers bracket not beaten twice.
Coach Gary Blake hoped outfielder Macie Gasperino would return to the lineup after being cleared from concussion protocol. She has been plagued by injuries and has played in just five games.
