On Thursday the final tickets to this year’s state baseball and softball tournaments were officially punched, as the few remaining brackets wrapped things up across the state.
Down in Hays, the TMP baseball regional saw a pair of area foes go at it, as the Sacred heart Knights knocked off Ell-Saline 14-4, but fell to the hosts in TMP by a final score of 5-4.
Both of those games were broadcast with live audio and video on Salina Post and are available on-demand any time
Meanwhile, down in Sylvan Lucas the Bennington Lady Bulldogs picked up a big win over Ell-Saline, knocking off the Lady Cardinals 7-2 before themselves being befallen by TMP in a 7-3 regional final.
