End 5 Branford 6-9-2 Northview 8-7-3 2-out error at 2nd doesn’t hurt as Swain picks up her 2nd K in relief. 3-4-5 hitters due for Branford, so this may be the Bucs’ best shot at tying or taking the lead. Hydration break

Bottom 3, 1 out Branford 5-6-1 Northview 7-7-3 Blue loads the bases and in comes Swain for the 2nd pitching change of the inning. Even with just a 2-run deficit, things looking bleak for the Bucs

Bottom 3, no outs Branford 5-6-1 Northview 6-5-3 Arnold is pulled in favor of Blue after a leadoff homer from Randolph and a single from Stuckey. Quite the turnaround from the first inning

Very similar to what I’ve got. Either way, this one’s no contest. Indians giving up immediate pressure on their QBs, leading to all 3 interceptions https://t.co/eCJ4ODfbRM

FINAL Lafayette 1-4-2 Holmes County 2-4-3 Blue Devils are your Class Rural state champions. Flanary scores Powell on a walk-off RBI single down the third base line. Holmes County wins its second state championship since 2022. Hornets face heartbreak again after losing in 2023
