Around the leagues

Great Northern: The baseball season ends a week from Friday, and there’s still a lot to be decided. After Tuesday’s action, four teams were separated by one game in the loss column: Pullman (7-3), Colville (9-4), Lakeside (9-4) and Medical Lake (8-4). Colville plays at Pullman in a doubleheader on Friday and Lakeside is at Medical Lake for a pair Saturday.

Northeast A: If anyone’s going to catch Kettle Falls’ softball team, it has to start this week. Friday, Kettle (7-6, 5-1) hosts Colfax (4-5, 2-2), which is tied for second with Freeman (7-6, 3-3). Colfax handed Kettle its only league loss April 10, a 5-3 setback in the opener of a doubleheader. Freeman, which split a doubleheader at Colfax last Saturday, plays host to Newport (0-10, 0-4), also Friday.

Bi-County: Lind-Ritzville baseball needed a three-run, late-inning rally to avoid being swept and caught for first place by Liberty on Saturday. The Broncos (12-2, 9-1) have a two-game lead on the rest of the league and only two games left with a team with a winning record. … First place ought to be decided this week on the softball side, as leader Liberty (10-1, 8-0) has a doubleheader today at home against Davenport (9-4, 7-1) and another Saturday against visiting Odessa (10-1, 7-1).

Panorama: Northport is a win away from clinching a tie for the league baseball title, as the Mustangs (14-1, 12-0) have four games left and a three-game lead over everyone else in the loss column. … Two of the three teams that still have a shot at the Panorama title, Curlew and Selkirk, play a softball doubleheader at Ione on Friday. Inchelium (13-1) and Selkirk (11-1) are on top, with Curlew (10-2) right behind.

Whitman County: Colton (6-1) holds its spot atop the WCL baseball standings, despite a 13-10 loss to Garfield-Palouse (4-4) on Tuesday. The Wildcats will travel to Rosalia to face Tekoa-Oakesdale/Rosalia (4-6) in a Saturday doubleheader. … Gar-Pal (3-1) will look to catch up with Asotin (4-1) in the league softball race with games against the bottom two teams in the league. The Vikings will host St. John-Endicott (0-7) on Saturday before facing LaCrosse-Washtucna (4-5) in Washtucna on Tuesday.
