In the first round of the playoffs, Inglemoor beat Redmond, Bothell beat Issaquah, and Skyline beat Woodinville.

Ballard played their first playoffs game in five years against Newport on Saturday night, which initially looked like it was going to get cancelled. After a rain delay of 18 minutes, the teams took the field.

Newport took the lead in the second inning and never let it go. Newport's bats came loose and by the bottom of the fourth inning Ballard was down 11 to 1. The playoff tournament does not have a mercy rule so the game continued. Ballard stepped up their defense but were unable to tie the game. Ballard lost 12 to 3.

Their next playoff game will be on Monday at 7 p.m. at Inglemoor.
