In softball action, No. 14 Rincon/University beat No. 19 Dobson 5-2 to advance to the 6A state tournament slated to start Saturday morning. It was the first time the Mustangs had made it to the postseason since 2011 and the first time, as far as anyone can tell, the Rangers had won a playoff game since their state championship year of 2002.
A full slate of softball and baseball play-in games are all set for Wednesday. Nine softball teams and eight baseball teams from Southern Arizona will take part with the winners advancing to the 6A, 5A or 3A state tournaments depending on classification.
