Class A Semifinals

FINAL: No. 1 United South Central 5, No. 5 B O L D 3

United South Central pitcher Mariah Anderson pitched seven innings, allowing five hits, three earned runs and striking out 16 batters.

B O L D took a 3-1 lead in the top of the fifth innings, but United South Central responded with four runs in the bottom of the inning. Grace Walton had two RBIs for UNnited South Central.

FINAL: No. 6 West Lutheran 4, No. 2 Red Lake Falls 0

West Lutheran had a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. Red Lake Falls loaded the bases when Kayla Schafer lined out to West Lutheran pitcher Eleanor Rolf. The Red Lake Falls first base and third base runners were unaware it was a line out, so they advanced a base. West Lutheran then threw them out at first and third base. After a long discussion between the umpires and the MSHSL marshal, the umpires called it a triple play.

Rolf finished with three hits allowed while striking out five batters and walking five. Evelyn Valleau had two RBIs for West Lutheran.

Class AA Semifinals

FINAL: No. 1 Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial 11, No. 5 St. Cloud Cathedral 5

LCWM had 16 hits to reach the Class 2A championship. St. Cloud Cathedral scored five runs in the fifth inning to cut the LCWM lead to 7-5, but the Knights responded with four more runs in the final two innings.

Sydney Kramer led LCWM with three RBIs.

FINAL: No. 6 Visitation 2, No. 2 Jackson County Central 1

Visitation pitcher Cecelia Lamey held Jackson County Central to one run in the game. She finished with only four hits allowed while striking out 10 and walking one. At the plate, she scored a run with an RBI single.

In the fourth inning, Madison Schrader singled to right field for what proved to be the winning run for Visitation.

Brielle Tufvesson had the lone RBIs for Jackson County Central. Mady Wachal pitched all seven innings for Jackson County Central.

FINAL: No. 5 St. Francis 2, No. 1 Sartell-St. Stephen 0

St. Francis pitcher Sydney Borchert shut out the top seed in Class 3A. She allowed only two hits while striking out 11.

The game was tied at 0 until the fifth inning. Borchert helped herself with an RBI single. Hailey Ausland added the second run when she hit an RBI single to score Kayla Engen.

FINAL: No. 2 Byron 3, No. 6 Cretin-Derham Hall 1

Byron ended Cretin-Derham Hall's cinderalla run with a strong performance from freshman pitcher Caliegh Barrone. She allowed only two hits in seven innings while striking out 13 Raiders.

The Bears took the lead in the fifth inning when Kaydence Fjerstad bunted, but the Cretin-Derham Hall catcher threw the ball past the first baseman, so Sydney Portner scored.

Class AAAA Semifinals

FINAL: No. 1 Forest Lake 3, No. 4 Park 1

Forest Lake Pitcher Avery Muellner limited Park to one run in the first inning, and she controlled the rest of the game.

Rangers freshman Stella Rohne singled up the middle and scored Greta Goehner to take a 2-1 lead.

"I moved up in the box to adjust, and I just went in there with confidence," Rohne said. "I just barreled it up."

Rhone then stole third and scored after a throwing error by the Park catcher to send the Rangers to the Class 4A title game.

"I was just so excited when I touched home plate," Rohne said.

No. 2 Farmington vs. No. 3 Jefferson

Jefferson scored two runs in the top of the first inning and never trailed for the remainder of the game.

Jefferson broke the game open in the fifth inning when pitcher Grace Rolek singled through the left side for a 4-2 lead. Sophie Theis then singled to center to score Alexandra Oerther for a 5-2 lead.

Rolek pitched for four innings, and she allowed three earned runs and five hits while striking out 7 Farmington batters. Brooke Borwege relieved Rolek, and Borwege finished with three innings pitched, and she allowed only one hit.

"We knew that the top of their lineup was going to be tough." Rolek said. "It was really about mixing things up and having different options."

Lila Johannsen and Ella Peterson hit home runs for Farmington.

The Jaguars lost in the Class 4A championship in 2025, and they'll have an opportunity to win their first state championship on Friday against Forest Lake.

"Entering the season, our big goal was to get there," Rolek said. "We have some unfinished business."
