The WIA State Softball Tournament is being held through the weekend at Goodmond Diamond
in Madison. Earlier today, Ithaca faced Belmont in a Division V semi-final game, which
was also our featured broadcast tour earlier, right here on WRC 100.9 on WRC.com and on
the Civic Media app. With more, here's Phil Ney.
Belmont Braves picked up an 11-nothing victory over the Ithaca Bulldogs in WIA State semi-final
softball in the morning. It was a total of three runs right out of the gate for Belmont,
two more in the second and six in the fourth as they put the game away on the 10-run rule
over the Bulldogs. Ithaca seized its season and at 21 and six, he managed two hits in
the game, Kelsey Coleman and Kayleigh Newkirk both had base hits. And for Belmont, their
lead-off Inter Addison McNat was on three times and scored all three times. They picked
up 11 hits against Bulldog pitching. For Ithaca, these seniors played their final high school
event, Kayleigh Newkirk, Ariana Lewis, Alyssa Muller and Holly King. For Belmont, they
improved to 25 and three. They'll advance to the WIA Division V State title game Saturday
morning at eight o'clock. For Ithaca, there's season end at 21 and six. The win goes to
Callie Hodson, starting pitcher for Belmont. She had some relief work in the last inning
from Jaden Raymaker. And for the Bulldogs, JC Maxwell is starting pitcher. He works
three and a third in Ariana Lewis. Worked two-thirds of an inning for the Bulldogs at Goodman
Diamond. The line's score 11 runs. 11 hits. No errors. Six left on for Belmont. No
runs. Two hits. Three errors. Two left on for the Bulldogs in state semi-final softball.

Still, also in Division V action. Almond Bancroft beat Thorpe by a score of 18 to three
in four innings. So in the championship game on Saturday at 8 a.m. it will be Belmont
facing Almond Bancroft. Also today in Division IV, Paselli beat MacDonald Central Catholic
by a score of three. Nothing. And they'll go on to Paselli will go on Saturday to face
Mineral, either Mineral Point or Michikot, the winner of that game. And right now it
is in the top of the fifth inning. And Michikot has a one-nothing lead on Mineral Point. And
that game will be played on Saturday at 10 30 a.m. The NCAA committee on infractions penalized
UW Madison today over impermissible calls between coaches and football recruits. Channel

made a total of 139 impermissible calls to 48 recruits, including 117 calls before the
first permissible date of two call recruits of the calls 60 lasted one minute or less according
to the committee's finding findings nine of the impermissible calls came from badgers head
