The Cardinals scored in all five innings including five runs in the third and six more in the fourth.

Clay City 9, North Central 2: For the second straight night the host Lady Eels defeated a local team. One night after sending Dugger Union home in the opening game, the Class 1A No. 13 ranked team handed the Ladybirds a season-ending loss in the first semifinal.
Clay City scored in the first five innings en route to the win.
Brynn Varner put North Central on the board with a sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning. Brynley Grabbe — who was inserted as a courtesy runner for Mykenzie Wence — scored on the play.

Campbell Holler tripled home Jama Ewers in the bottom of the fifth inning to end the Clovers’ bid for a shutout. Madelyn Bennett followed with a walk, giving Shakamak runners on the corners with just one out, but left both runners stranded on base.
