Is it possible for history to repeat itself? I guess it depends on one’s point of view. For Salpointe, a 6-5 victory over Cactus Tuesday night at Hillenbrand Stadium on the University of Arizona campus gave the Lancers their second 4A state championship in a row over the Cobras.
Ironwood Ridge battled through four elimination games to reach the final where the Nighthawks beat Centennial 5-2 Monday night at ASU to capture the state championship.
We are down to six teams in the 4A softball playoffs with Salpointe and Canyon del Oro waiting in the semifinal round for an opponent to come out of the elimination phase of the third round.
