Posted on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 at 10:42 am

It is a heavyweight battle scheduled for seven innings Thursday night in Grantsburg.

The Pirates (21-1) will play host to the Panthers (16-3) the winner will be crowned regional champion and be two wins away from the state tournament in Madison.

The Pirates are the best team in Division 3 softball according to the Wisconsin Coaches Association, St. Croix Central is the fifth best team. How the Panthers received a number three seed in the tournament is a bit perplexing.

The Panthers beat the number two seeded Glenwood City Hilltoppers 9-2 on Tuesday evening to advance. Grantsburg got by Cumberland 5-4 to get to the regional final game.

Make sure you’re tuned into the game on 105.7 WXCX for all the action.
