The Remsen St. Mary’s Hawks put up four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to come all the way back to defeat the top-seeded Mason City Newman Catholic Knights, 9-8, Thursday afternoon in a Class 1A semifinal. The Knights took an early 7-1 lead after the top of the third, but St. Mary’s showed true grit and heart to win the ball game. Hawks’ starting pitcher Tanner Kockler went the distance and threw an amazing 185 pitches to push his record on the year to a perfect 11-0.

Carroll Kuemper Catholic took advantage of five Davis County errors, the last of which allowed the winning run to score in the eighth inning, as the Knights walked off with an extra-inning win over the Mustangs 5-4 Thursday night in a Class 2A state tournament semifinal. The Knights will meet top-ranked Solon in the 2A title game Saturday afternoon.
