9 Jun
Summary
- Blackhawk won 7-5 to reach its first state championship game.
- Key offensive contributions came from the bottom of the order.
- Pitcher Kylie Prisuta struck out nine batters.

Blackhawk's softball team is heading to its first-ever PIAA state championship game following a hard-fought 7-5 win against Harbor Creek. This victory marks a significant achievement for the program, overcoming past challenges in similar situations.
The Cougars' offense was sparked by the lower portion of their batting order. Hannah Nolte initiated the scoring with a double, followed by RBI singles from Addy Ramer and Ava Elich. Elich further extended the lead with another RBI single.
Pitcher Kylie Prisuta was instrumental, not only contributing a crucial three-run home run but also dominating in the circle. She recorded nine strikeouts, navigating through potential scoring threats and securing the win despite a late rally from Harbor Creek.
Blackhawk will now compete for the state title against Valley View on Friday, June 12, at 1:30 p.m. at Nittany Lion Softball Park.
