The area’s softball season came to a close yesterday when Marion Center bowed out of the District 6 Double-A playoffs with a 4-0 semifinal loss to top seed Bald Eagle Area. Bald Eagle pushed across a run in the second inning and three more in the fourth, and limited the Stingers to just two hits, a single by Lydia Miller and a double by Lexi Roush.
Portage plays Harmony this afternoon in the District 6 Class A baseball semifinals.
