Columbia High School’s baseball team celebrates a victory earlier this year.Â
Contributed photoWHITE SALMON — Columbia High School edged visiting Hoquiam, 4-3, May 9 to advance to the 2026 WIAA District 4 baseball playoffs.
The Bruins (8-12 overall) finished in fifth place in the Trico League, earning a spot in the district play-in game opposite the Grizzlies (3-15), the No. 4 team from the Evergreen Conference.
With the play-in win, Columbia will play a 4 p.m. game May 11 at the Trico’s regular season champion, Seton Catholic (17-4). The game is scheduled in Vancouver at Harmony Sports Complex.Â
Seton swept the two-game series this season with Columbia, but the 3-2 score in the second game (at Seton on April 23) suggests the teams are a bit closer than the 14-1 first-game result suggests. Seton is ranked fifth in the WIAA Class 1A RPI rankings.
The eight-team district playoff first round – all games on May 11 - includes: King’s Way (9-10) at No. 1-ranked Montesano (21-0); Elma (9-9) at La Center (15-5); Castle Rock (12-7) atRochester (12-9); and the Columbia at Seton contest.
