It took extra innings to decide Wednesday in the 8-10 All-Star state semifinal game, who would advance to Saturday's state championship game and who would drop down into the elimination bracket and play Friday for a chance to get into the championship game.
Willcox All-Star Jayleen Aguirre's two run double in the bottom of the seventh scored Stephany Aguilar and Josey Benavides giving Willcox a wild 2-1 win over the Cave Creek Cactus Foothills All-Stars Wednesday at Domingo Paiz Complex.
The game, which included an hour and 50-minute weather delay, was a classic pitchers dual between Willcox's Hattie Macumber and Foothills Sloane Hjermsted.
The two pitchers pitched three innings of no-hit ball, neither giving up a hit until the fourth when the weather delay hit.
Macumber allowed one run off three hits, fanned 19 and walked one.
Hjermsted gave up two runs off four hits, fanned 16 and walked six.
More on this game will be posted on Thursday including the hitters for both teams as well as the results of the two elimination games that were played Wednesday.
Saturday's state championship game is scheduled for 6 p.m.
