Pirates Wins Two-Of-Three To Best State Fair, Keep Season Alive
The North Central Missouri College softball team took a best-of-three series over State Fair Community College last weekend in what was essentially a Region 16 play-in series.
The Pirates split with State Fair on Saturday, winning the opener 6-0 before falling 6-4 in game two. That sent the series to a winner-take-all game on Sunday where the Pirates prevailed 7-0.
With the 2-1 showing against State Fair, NCMC moved to 40-11 overall on the season.
Casey Stout was the winning pitcher in both games, firing a combined 14 innings, allowing just three hits and three walks while striking out 13. Abby Dobbins had the lone home run in the series.
The series win placed NCMC into the Region 16 championship bracket — a four-team, double-elimination tournament. NCMC, seeded third, takes on second seeded Three Rivers in the opener for the tournament today (Friday) at host school Jefferson College in Hillsboro.
