EG TO DISTRICT FINALS

Hawks Get By Madrid, 7-5

The third time proved to the charm for East Greene as they beat Madrid 7-5 in Rippey tonight in the semifinal round of District 12. The Hawks had previously dropped two West Central Conference contests to the Tigers this season, including a 5-3 loss in their season finale last Friday in Madrid.

The win upped the Hawks’ record to 12-14. Madrid ends the season at 13-13.

EG moves on to the district championship game against GMG of Garwin on Saturday in Ames. Game time is 7 p.m.

GMG (12-14) advanced with a semifinal win over Northeast Hamilton, 8-4, tonight in Ackley, after dispatching Colo-Nesco, 4-0, in the first round on Tuesday.

GMG finished in a tie for fifth place in the 9-team Iowa Star Conference, just ahead of Northeast Hamilton at 8-8. NEH finished the season at 15-11 overall.

The winner in Ames advances to the substate championship game Monday night in Ankeny versus the winner of the Martensdale-St. Mary’s vs. Grandview Park Baptist game in St. Mary’s.
