Lucile Overmyer was 5-for-6 with three runs scored and seven RBI to lead the Cavs to the semis, where it will take on South Central Wednesday.

Gus Garr fired a two-hit shutout Tuesday to push the Wildcats (10-12) through while Valley roared past its bitter rivals to a seat in the championship.

Garr struck out six and walked just one in the gem, and at the plate, helped herself with a double, triple and three runs scored.

Valley (13-14) had its own version of a gem twirled by Corinna Stiles, who allowed just three hits and struck out nine in the complete game.

Stiles also did damage at the plate, driving in two and Brittney Benn had two doubles among a three-hit day.

The two Three Rivers Conference rivals will meet Thursday at 7 p.m. for the sectional marbles.
