The Weir High baseball team kept its postseason hopes alive by defeating Elkins 8-3 in the Class AAA Region 1 tournament, avoiding elimination. Caiden Braswell led the Red Riders with a triple and two RBIs, while pitcher Williamson struck out four batters over five innings. They now prepare to face either Fairmont Senior or Grafton in another elimination game on Thursday. Meanwhile, Indian Creek baseball achieved a season sweep over rival Edison, winning 8-4, highlighted by a three-run homer from Sylus Hyde. Catholic Central also secured a win against Monroe Central, with Matty Jones contributing significantly as both a hitter and pitcher.

In contrast, the Indian Creek softball team suffered an 11-1 defeat to Philo, ending their season with a 9-14 record. The loss marks a disappointing end for the Redskins, particularly for senior players like McKenna Scott, who plans to play Division I softball at Purdue Fort Wayne. As the tournament progresses, local teams continue to battle for advancement in their respective competitions.
