Chatfield shortstop Carter Schlink dives to tag out PEM’s Logan Dittrich for a double-play in the first inning of the teams’ key TRC-West contest.

Mabel-Canton catcher Cayden Tollefsrud fields the throw, but not in time to prevent GMLOK’s Connor Tangen from scoring. But the Cougars overcame a 10-3 deficit to rally for a 11-10 win. In the teams’ first meeting, GMLOK rallied from down 8-2 to win 13-9. Photo by Christine Vreeman

GMLOK’s Hailee Warren is going to be “softball” safe at first but maybe not safe from inadvertently getting hit by the throw. The Bulldogs wrapped up their regular season with a 10-0 win over Lyle/Pacelli. Photo by Christine Vreeman

Byron’s Leah Bendix slides into home safely as Gopher catcher Alexis Hinckley cannot keep a grip on the ball while applying the tag. The Bears ended the Gophers’ three-game win streak via a 9-1 win. Chatfield ends the regular season at 13-7. Photo by Leif Erickson

Houston catcher Caitlin Brand cannot quite get a hold of the ball to put the tag on Southland runner Riana Ulven in the teams’ key SEC match-up.
