Vaqueros’ softball to open regional tournament vs. Sparks

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

The Fernley High School softball team will take on Sparks at 9 a.m. Thursday to open the 3A Northern Regional Tournament in Spring Creek.

The Vaqueros enter the tournament as the No. 3 seed from the East, and advanced into the main bracket of the tournament via a forfeit by Wooster in a play-in game last Saturday.

Under the league’s new playoff format, the No. 3 seed from each division was to host the No. 4 seed from the other division, but Wooster forfeited the game, advancing the Vaqueros into the double-elimination portion of the bracket. The winner of Thursday’s game against Sparks will face Fallo at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, while the loser would play in an elimination game at 9 a.m. Friday.

In the other side of the bracket, Lowry beat South Tahoe 24-4 in the other play-in game on Saturday and will face Elko at 11:15 a.m. for the right to face North Valleys.

The tournament continues Friday with three elimination games and the winner’s bracket semifinal game, with the championship set for 11:30 a.m. Saturday. The two teams that reach the championship game each qualify for next week’s state tournament being held May 16-18 in Fallon.
