EdCC Meets Bellevue for North Tournament Title

EVERETT, Wash -- Your baseball team is playing for the NWAACC North Tournament Championship on Sunday, May 19! The Tritons are unbeaten in the playoffs, defeating Bellevue and Skagit Valley. EdCC will now go up against the Bellevue Bulldogs in the title game, first pitch slated for noon at Everett Memorial Stadium. 

Since the Tritons are unbeaten, Bellevue will have to beat EdCC twice on Sunday while we only need one win to claim the North Title. If Edmonds prevails, they qualify for the 8-team NWAACC Championships that start next week in Longview!

So, to make this simple: EdCC vs Bellevue for the North Title, Noon, at Everett Memorial Stadium. Admission is $5. Come out and support the Tritons! We need more fans there than Bellevue!
