Campbellsport Softball Finishes Season in Regional Final

On May 29, Campbellsport softball lost 3-0 to the second-seed, Kewaskum, on the road in the Regional Final.
Campbellsport (13-12) and Kewaskum (19-8) were in a pitching duel between Kewaskum’s Macy Sabish and Campbellsport’s Peyton Hall, with the game tied 0-0 going into the bottom of the sixth inning.
“Peyton pitched an amazing game, allowing only two hits before the sixth inning,” said Head Coach Dan Heisdorf.
Kewaskum scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, highlighted by doubles from Elli Calliari and Kyli Baka, to put the Indians ahead 3-0 over the Cougars going into the seventh inning.
