“It was just a dogfight,” said Rossview head coach Parker Holman. “They had a big inning, flipped the momentum on us, but fortunately for us, we were able to respond. You’ve got to be tough in the postseason, when things don’t go your way, you’re going to find out who you’re going to be.”

Despite the Eagles’ loss, they will match up with Kirkwood tomorrow afternoon in an elimination game. Even with a loss, Northeast head coach Charles Ratliff was proud of his squad, and is optimistic for another chance to advance.

“We fought really well tonight,” said Northeast head coach Charles Ratliff. “We had a few things not go our way, which took the air out of us. You know Rossview is going to hit the ball, that is a dang good team. We have another chance, and we need to keep fighting.”
