Oakfield & Waupun: State Softball Runner-Ups

 

The Oakfield softball team’s bid for back
to back WIAA Division Four State Championships came up just short on Saturday
afternoon as they lost to Stevens Point Pacelli 1-0.  Oakfield put the lead-off runner on base in
the 1^st six innings but could never find the way to plate a
run.   Pacelli scored the game’s only run
in the bottom of the 6^th when Sarah Mitch singled home Sami Kay
Shafranski.  Oakfield’s Brianna Sabel
tripled in the 7^th but did not score.  Oakfield won their D4 Semifinal on Saturday
morning 6-4 over Juda/Albany in 8 innings. 
The Oaks scored 3 in the top of the 8^th to advance to the
title game. Their season ends at 26-4.
