Champlin Park Softball Falls to Rogers in Section 5AAAA Winner’s Bracket
The Champlin Park softball team hadn’t lost since a mid-April game against Rogers. They got another chance at the Royals in the Section 5AAAA winner’s bracket final Friday, but once again Rogers came out on top, winning 2-1.
The Royals scored a run on a bunt and throwing error in the bottom of the first, then tacked on a run in the fifth on a bases loaded single by Lexie Young.
Champlin Park scored on a groundout in the sixth, but despite having several base runners in the later innings that is all they could get.
Rogers moves into the section final round, where they will face the winner of Tuesday’s elimination games.
Maple Grove faces Centennial, with the winner of that game meeting Champlin Park, all on Tuesday.
