MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) – For the first time in program history, the Waupun softball team won a state championship, defeating Mosinee, 7-2, for the Division 2 title.
After falling in an early 1-0 hole, Addison Braun evened the score in the 4th inning with an RBI double. Kylee Pluim gave the Warriors the lead in the same inning with a sacrifice fly.
Rowan Harder extended the lead to 3-1 with an RBI single in the 5th inning. Then, Braun opened the flood gates with a grand slam, making it a 7-1 ball game.
Mosinee managed to score twice in the bottom of the 7th inning, but the lead was too much to overcome.
