Kaylee Stoll banged out a bases loaded RBI single to give Barker the walk-off victory and a spot in Friday’s Class C championship game. Two walks and a bunt single by Aine Davis loaded the bases to set up the opportunity.

Stoll and winning pitcher Madyson Flint both had a pair of hits on the day.

In the circle, Flint scattered 6 hits and struck out 7.

Falconer’s best scoring threat came in the first inning as two singles and a walk loaded the bases with two out. However, Flint got out the jam by registering a clutch inning ending strikeout.
