State softball action

Lisa Friehe delivers a pitch against Ralston in opening round state softball action, where McCook came up on the short end, 2-1. Shortstop Jillian Bryant (right) watches the swing. Friehe pitched two more winning games, however, as the Bison defeated Lexington 7-0 and Firth-Norris 3-1. The girls were in consolation bracket action against No. 1 seed Beatrice at noon today, and the winner of that game will play the winner of the Lincoln Pius X-Ralston game.
