It was the end of the road for the Winfield-Mt. Union and Keota softball teams on Friday when they both fell in a first round class 1A region 8 game.
The Wolves traveled to West Point and dropped the postseason bout to Holy Trinity by a 9-5 count. The score was tied 2-2 in the third when the Crusaders (10-10) scored four times in that frame to take a lead they never saw disappear. The hosts collected 10 hits in the win and they advance to play No. 11 Sigourney (21-5) on Wednesday. WMU concludes their season 7-10 and say goodbye to three seniors in Jobey Malone, Carlee Sloan, and Neva Garcia.
The Eagles were shutout by Tri-County for the fifth time this year with Friday’s score being 12-0 in three innings. The Trojans (14-13) will battle No. 7 Twin Cedars (22-3) in the quarterfinal. Keota ends the campaign 0-19 and they graduate two seniors in Taylor Kindred and Makenzie Jackson.
