The weekend saw the PCM baseball and softball squads each secure semifinal victories, setting the stage for championship showdowns.
Baseball Comeback
Izaac Bagby delivered a three‑run homer and limited his outing to two innings, giving up three runs and two hits while striking out one batter. Roston McCarty earned the win after tossing five solid innings, surrendering two runs and seven hits with five strikeouts. Bode Blackburn contributed a 2‑for‑2 performance, and Shay Burns went 2‑for‑3 with a double and three RBI, driving in the decisive runs. The comeback effort positions the baseball club to meet Beckman Catholic in the substate finals.
Facing a familiar rival, the team will look to carry the momentum into a high‑stakes matchup that could define the season.
Softball Dominance
The softball squad displayed a commanding performance, blanking Humboldt 10‑0 and leaning on a balanced attack. Libby Winters delivered four innings of one‑hit ball with four strikeouts, while also going 2‑for‑3 at the plate with two doubles and an RBI. Ryan DeVore added a 2‑for‑2 showing and two RBI, underscoring the team’s depth. The victory secures a home regional final against Algona, a matchup that promises another test of skill and resolve.
With both programs advancing, the community anticipates a weekend of championship play that could cement PCM’s reputation as a rising force in the region.
