William Penn Closes Season with 12-Inning Thriller
Cedar Rapids–The Statesmen softball team could not keep the fairy-tale story alive another day as it was eliminated from the Heart of America Athletic Conference Championship Friday.
WPU (20-30) fell into the consolation with a 7-0 loss to #4 seed Mount Mercy and was then knocked out of the event and had its season come to a close with a 10-9 loss to #6 seed Evangel in 12 innings.
The eighth-seeded Statesmen made it to the second day with a 4-1 win over the Heart’s regular season champion Grand View on Thursday, but ran out of magic against the Mustangs and Crusaders.
