Southland baseball, the No. 5 seed, pulled off a stunning upset in the Section 1A Tournament championship, defeating the top-seeded NRHEG 6-5.
Second-Inning Surge
The victory was built on a burst of six runs scored by Southland in the second inning, a rally that turned the momentum decisively in their favor.
Following the win, Southland is set to meet the No. 2 seed Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton in the semifinal scheduled for Saturday, a matchup that promises another test of their newfound firepower.
Elimination Bracket Action
NRHEG kept its season alive with a 13-8 win over Mabel-Canton in the elimination bracket, extending their campaign beyond the championship loss.
The same team will now face Lewiston-Altura on Saturday in the next elimination round, looking to rebound from the earlier defeat.
