Eskymos Take Softball Challenge To Michigan State
ALMA, Mich.---The Escanaba Eskymos play in the state softball semifinals Thursday morning against the team that knocked them out of the tournament last year: the Richmond Blue Devils. The two teams will meet again Thursday at Michigan State University, with a spot in Saturday's Division Two state title game on the line. It promises to be another classic game, as the Eskymos are ranked #3 in the state, and the Blue Devils are ranked #2. Escanaba is coming off a 5-0 win over #1 ranked Saginaw Swan Valley in the quarterfinals. Richmond beat Dearborn Divine Child, 4-2, in eight innings, on Tuesday. Thursday's other semifinal pits Stevensville-Lakeshore and Ida. The Eskymos (37-4) held a practice at Alma College on Wednesday.
