The Esko Eskomos used an RBI single by Branden Matten in the fourth inning to advance to the Section 7AA finals with a 1-0 win over Duluth Marshall.

Brody Kaldahl had a fantastic outing on the mound for the Eskomos, pitching a complete game shutout. Kaldahl allowed just four hits, while striking out seven.

Ben Pedersen got the loss for the Hilltoppers, pitching a complete game, allowing one run on seven hits. Pedersen finished the game with eleven strikeouts and just three walks.

The Eskomos (21-3) are now just one win away from reaching the state tournament. They will have to go through the defending champions, Duluth Marshall (19-4), once again on June 7th.

The game will be played at Wade Stadium with first pitching coming at 5:00pm. If necessary, game two will begin at approximately 7:00pm.
