Eight days of waiting will come to an end for the Twin Cedars Softball Squad as the Sabers will play their first State Tournament game since 1978. While the entire Sabers squad is playing their first ever State games their opponent Lisbon is playing in its 5th straight State Tournament. Coach Zack Dunkin tells KNIA/KRLS Sports Lisbon provides a great challenge, and he says the Lions are comparable to Wayne, one of the Sabers’ nemesis for the last few seasons.

Dunkin: “I guess if I’m going to compare them, they’re lighter hitting Wayne, they have someone that doesn’t throw as hard at Sterling from Wayne, but she is a lefty. So that’s who I would compare them to.”

To take away the wow factor a little bit for his team, Dunkin took them up Monday to get used to the surroundings and watch a few games. Dunkin says while the pressure of getting to the State Tournament is off, his girls have a goal of winning three more games. You can hear the call on 92.1 KRLS starting with the pregame at 7:00, first pitch is scheduled for 7:30.
