Nevada Prep hosts Elaine Wilson and Justin Emerson go over the Nevada State Finals brakcet for Baseball and Softball.
After watching their brothers win state baseball titles two years ago, two Basic softball players want their own ring. Mikayla Berg is the younger sister of former Basic pitcher Trever Berg. Angela Santillanes is the younger sister of former Basic infielder Christian Santillanes. Both helped Basic take home the 2016 state title, and Wolves followed it up with another ring in 2017. Now the softball team has a chance win its first state title after winning the Sunrise Region for the first time. First pitch is against Douglas at 2 p.m. Thursday at Bishop Manogue High School in Reno.
Durango’s softball team earned a 12-6 road win over Desert Oasis on Thursday
to lock up second place in the Southwest League. Kaitlin Fazenden hit a two-run homer in the third inning
to get the Trailblazers on the board. Winning pitcher Trinity Valentine hit a two-run single in the fourth to give Durango the lead for good. Valentine and Alexis Geraldo each drove in three runs for Durango, which had 13 hits. The Trailblazers took two of three games from the Diamondbacks, and will be the league’s No. 2 seed in the upcoming Sunset Region tournament.
