Wabash would score the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth on a one-out double, Warsaw unable able to answer in the bottom half.

The game was the second straight contest Warsaw played an extra-inning affair at the state tourney, needing eight innings to defeat Bedford, 4-1, Wednesday. Warsaw went 2-1 in Pool B play, beating Franklin, 12-0, in tournament’s first day.

The Warsaw squad, despite the loss, will advance to the state semi-finals, taking on Portage at 2 p.m this afternoon at Wabash High School.
