CLAYTON — Five wins down, two to go. Parkway has officially punched their ticket to Akron, and they did so with a statement 10-3 victory over Covington, the sixth-ranked team in division IV, on Friday night at Northmont High School.

ELIDA – Wayne Trace was just four outs away from a season ending loss to Division III top-ranked Eastwood Thursday afternoon at Ed Sandy Field in Elida as Eagles pitcher Ethan Rapp kept the Raider offense in check. However, the red, white and blue had other ideas in posting three runs with two outs and then holding on for a 3-2 victory over the Eagles to advance to district championship play Saturday.
