BREWER The Winslow High School softball had seen this movie. Last week, in the first round of the Class B North playoffs, the Black Raiders were the stars, rallying in the seventh inning to force extra innings. Now in the regional championship game, Winslow played the other role, with Nokomis coming back.
While allowing the Warriors to tie the game in their final at-bat twice, Winslow hung on, taking a 10-9, nine-inning win to advance to the Class B state championship game for the first time since 2007. The No. 8 seed in the North, Winslow (8-11) will face Cape Elizabeth at Brewer’s Coffin Field at 4 p.m., Saturday. No. 3 Nokomis ends the season at 14-6.
