The Bulldogs will take on Marquette at 11 a.m. Saturday for the regional championship and a trip to the Mascoutah Sectional next week.

IHSA CLASS 1A BROWN COUNTY SECTIONAL SEMIFINAL

HARDIN-CALHOUN 3, CAMP POINT CENTRAL 0: A bloop single with two out in the seventh and two strikes to Camp Point Central's Kyleigh Irvin ruined a perfect game for Hardin-Calhoun's Grace Baalman Tuesday afternoon, but that was the only blemish in a 3-0 Warrior win over the Panthers in the IHSA Class 1A Brown County Sectional semifinals in Mt. Sterling.

The win puts the Warriors into Saturday's sectional final against the Pawnee-Griggsville-Perry winner; those two teams clash at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday for the right to meet Calhoun.

The Warriors scored twice in the fourth and once in the sixth to advance, getting a two-run homer from Baalman to score Madison Lehr and herself in the fourth, then getting back-to-back doubles from Sara Brodbeck and Macy Margherio to bring in Brodbeck in the sixth.

Baalman fanned 13 in getting the win, which was Calhoun's 30^th of the season to go against four losses.
