Sedan got a big time pitching performance over the weekend, earning a 3-2 win over Cedarvale/Dexter in the South Central Border League championship game.

 

Senior Jackson Shipley of the Blue Devils went the full seven innings, allowing just four hits and striking out seven hitters, with no earned runs allowed. The dominant performance allowed the Blue Devils to beat the Spartans for the first time this season.

 

Jackson and Sedan will now shift focus to the Cedarvale Regional, where they are the No. 2 seed and open with the winner of West Elk and Eureka on Friday. Cedarvale/Dexter is the top overall seed in the tournament, and could potentially match up with the Blue Devils again in the championship game, which would be the fourth matchup for the two schools this season.
