A powerful Sedro Woolley team stopped Bainbridge Island from winning its second straight State 3A Softball championship Saturday night with a 10-0 victory.
Due to rain, all 3A and 4A State Softball Championship games scheduled for today have been cancelled and rescheduled for play tomorrow at SERA Fields in Tacoma, possibly turning the tournaments into one-day events.
Defending 3A champion Bainbridge Island will play Capital at 1 p.m. Saturday. If the Spartans win, they will play the winner of the Mt. Spokane-Franklin Pierce game at 3 p.m.

After several months of community outreach, Puget Sound Energy says it is prepared to follow the lead of residents concerning the near future of the utility’s electric system on the central and southern parts of the island.
PSE’s stance when it first approached the community last year about the need for a system upgrade centered on a new substation and transmission line because the current two-substation network is near its maximum capacity, and the number of power outages experienced in the area has led to increased unreliability.
