The Okaw Valley softball team’s season came to a heartbreaking end in the Class 1A Moweaqua Regional last Wednesday.

“Our season was streaky to say the least,” said OV coach Dave Benning. “At one point in the middle of the season, we lost five games in a row after winning four in a row. I believe we were playing our best softball at the time of regionals in that we had won seven of our last 10 games.”

The No. 5 Timberwolves headed into the bottom of the seventh inning up 4-2 against host Central A&M but could not hold on to the lead.

CAM tied the game at four when an OV error led to the winning run, 5-4.

OV opened the scoring in the first inning when Madison Voegel’s sacrifice fly scored a run. Read More

The Windsor-Stewardson-Strasburg softball team won its second-straight Class 1A Regional championship by shutting out host Nokomis 9-0 Monday evening.

The game was originally scheduled for Saturday but postponed because of rain which means the Hatchets will have to play back-to-back days.

WSS, who is ranked No. 7 in the state, took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning and took control of the championship game by scoring seven runs in the third inning.

Each team recorded six hits, but WSS also induced nine walks.
