The Central softball team returns home today to begin the final conference series of the season, hosting Buena Vista. Central enters 13-8 in the league standings, and holds a two-game edge for third place, which is the highest the Dutch can finish. With just one win in the three-game series, Central will clinch the #3 seed in next week’s conference tournament.

On the other side, the Beavers are in eighth place, three games behind seventh and five games ahead of ninth.

The series will conclude Sunday with a single game. Sandwiched between is a Central road trip Friday to Sant Paul, MN for a doubleheader at Bethel.

Today’s doubleheader between the Dutch and Beavers begins at 3:00 p.m. at the A.N. Kuyper Sports Complex.
