Softball


In softball action, No. 14 Rincon/University beat No. 19 Dobson 5-2 to advance to the 6A state tournament slated to start Saturday morning. It was the first time the Mustangs had made it to the postseason since 2011 and the first time, as far as anyone can tell, the Rangers had won a playoff game since their state championship year of 2002.

It’s been three years since Sabino hosted a playoff game and the Sabercats will have to wait till next Tuesday to see if they will be hosting another. Ranked 14th, the Sabercats beat No. 12 Pusch Ridge 10-0 on Thursday night to clinch the 3A South Region but where the team lands in the Play-In Tournament is what matters most now.
