The Algoma softball team is one win away from advancing to the state softball tournament since going back-to-back seasons in 2012 and 2013 when they play on the road at Johnson Creek Thursday afternoon.
Macie Zimmerman was absolutely dominant Tuesday, throwing a complete game no-hitter as Algoma softball topped St. Mary's Springs 4-0 in a sectional semifinal matchup. Zimmerman didn't just dominate in the circle, though, she got things going offensively too, launching a two-run homer in the first inning to put the Wolves on top early. Amya Lukes went 2-for-2 at the top of the lineup and Ryley Tweedy added an RBI single to round out the scoring. As a team, the Wolves collected six hits working through eight strikeouts to push across four runs. Zimmerman struck out six across the complete game and retired the final batter on a groundout to complete the no-no and send Algoma to the sectional final.
The Bluejays' state drought is even longer as they have not returned to Madison since 2003. In their 2-0 win against Random Lake on Tuesday, Tori Buglass went the distance in the circle with 10 strikeouts while allowing no runs on three hits. She also did it at the plate with two hits while Libby Burbach's two RBI double was the difference in the win.
First pitch is set for 5 p.m. in Johnson Creek.
