7 | Cameron | 0 | No. 16 St. Croix Falls | 1 | MORE |

26 | Mount Horeb | 5 | Lodi | 3 | MORE |

28 | Beloit Turner | 0 | Jefferson | 2 | MORE |

30 | Jefferson | 12 | Mount Horeb | 9 | MORE |
31 | After beating conference rival Beloit Turner in the semi-fnal game, the Eagles' jumped out to an early 10-5 lead after three innings over Mount Horeb.

34 | Mineral Point | 6 | Markesan | 7 | MORE |
35 | In what ended up being quite possibly the most entertaining game we covered in person all spring, Markesan squeaked by Mineral Point in the bottom of the ninth inning on Gavin Gilbertson's beaming walk-off base knock off the right field wall. They had to battle through some adversity to get to that point, however, as Mineral Point scratched two runs across in the top of the ninth to make this a 6-4 game heading into the final frame. Aiden Schmick reached base on an infield error and advanced to second after an errant throw, making his way to third in the following at-bat when Sage Stellmacher singled up the middle. A failed pick-off attempt to third base brought Schmick home and moved Stellmacher, the tying run, into scoring position with nobody out. Sophomore star Chayce Osterhaus poked one down the left field line for the game-tying RBI single and he later scored on the aforementioned Gilbertson walk-off. | ||||
36 | Marathon | 8 | Markesan | 1 | MORE |
37 | The box score won't indicate how close this game really was; it was all tied up at 1-1 heading into the top of the ninth inning before the Red Raiders' offense put up a seven spot, capitalizing on a handful of Markesan errors to put this game out of reach. Marathon entered this game as the only team in the sectional with more than three losses and managed to take down two of the state's top D-3 teams en route to a state playoff appearance.

40 | Kenosha St. Joseph | 6 | Ozaukee | 4 | MORE |
41 | These teams entered this game as two of the WIAA's top D-3 teams and it showed.
