EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - In the IHSAA softball tournament, we had five local sectional champions, crowned on Thursday -- Castle, Jasper, Wood Memorial, Tecumseh, and Memorial.

The Tigers won the class 3A sectional 32 championship, with a nail-biting, 1-0 victory, over North Posey. It’s the first sectional title, for Memorial softball, in eight years, as their last one, came back in 2017.

Overall, it’s their program’s fifth sectional crown. Sophomore pitcher, Bri Canaan, brought her “A” game, firing a complete game, one-hitter, with 8 strikeouts.

Memorial will now play Jasper, in the Class 3A regional, on Tuesday, at 5:30 central time, at Jasper High Scho
