Colfax softball takes sixth at state

The goal was to bring home a trophy from state, and in order to do it the route could be a long haul; four games on the second day of the state 2B tournament in Yakima.

Colfax made it three in, losing to two-time defending champion Toutle Lake 14-4, a game short of the trophies.

Opening the tournament Friday afternoon with an 11-6 win over Kittitas, Colfax advanced to a 7 p.m. game against Pe Ell-Willapa Valley, in the first year of their co-op. Whoever won would advance in the winner’s bracket to Day 2. The loser would drop into the long way of the loser’s bracket.

Colfax lost 10-6.
