DUNCAN FALLS — Logan Elm came alive with two outs in the seventh to earn a spot in Friday’s Division IV regional championship game by beating Meadowbrook 4-2 Wednesday.
With the score tied 2-2 and two outs on the board, LE’s Lucy Caplinger doubled to right. Sadie Binkley put her team in the lead when she tripled to center to score Caplinger. Brittani Lane then singled to score Binkley and make the LE lead 4-2.

Binkley struck out two, walked one, allowed five hits and two runs (one earned).
A single and an error allowed Meadowbrook to take a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second.
LE’s Hannah Gooley scored on a wild pitch in the third to tie the game.
