The Bremen softball team saw its stellar season end Saturday, while the Manchester baseball team earned the right to play for a tournament title.
The Lions, ranked No. 9, dropped a 4-3 final to No. 12 Eastside in the championship contest of the Class 2-A Westview Sectional.
Eastside scored four runs in the sixth inning to take a 4-0 lead. Bremen got a pair of tallies in the sixth frame and one in the seventh, but could not pull it out.
Micaela Box led Bremen with two hits, including a home run.
Chelsea Huppert closed out her outstanding prep career with three hits, including two doubles, for the Lions. She took the pitching loss as she had seven strikeouts and two walks in the circle.
