No. 3 Silver Lake will have a chance to win the Class 3A State Championship. The Eagles (27-4) took down No. 2 Haven 12-6 in the state semifinals on Wednesday, May 27.
The Eagles opened a 9-2 lead through the first three innings of the game. Silver Lake used composed at-bats using singles and walks to get on base.
Haven jumped right back into the game with four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Silver Lake did not succumb to the pressure with three runs in the final two innings.
Savanah Wende was the lone Silver Lake player to have an extra-base hit. She went 2-for-4 with a double and a single. She had a team-high three RBIs and two runs scored.
Riley Mohler had a team-high three hits. She went 3-for-5 with one RBI and two runs.
Mohler was also dominant inside the circle. The junior threw a complete game, allowing two earned runs and nine hits. She also struck out four batters in the win.
Silver Lake's last state championship came in 2018. The Eagles have been to the state title game in four of the last seven years, with each resulting in a runner-up finish.
The Eagles will hope that the fifth time is the charm and secure head coach Nick Hamilton his first state title at the helm of the program.
The Eagles will face No. 1 Southeast of Saline (26-1) at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, May 29, at KU’s Arrocha Ballpark.
Southeast of Saline defeated Jefferson West 2-1 in the semifinals. The Trojans have never won a state championship before. This is the school’s second-ever visit to the championship game. Their last title appearance came in 2003.
