The high school softball season for the Greene County Rams ended on Friday night in Wall Lake at the hands of OABCIG (Ida Grove). The Falcons were 5-4 winners in nine innings in a game that saw numerous errors and lost opportunities for both teams. The game ended with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and runners at second and third when a softly hit bouncer went to third baseman Mady Adamson. She threw home to catcher Marissa Promes with OABCIG catcher Cheyenne Wilcke sliding toward the plate. The safe sign was given by the home plate umpire and the Falcons upset the number 13 Rams. OABCIG (20-12) advances to the Monday night Class 3A Region 2 final vs. number one rated Sergeant Bluff-Luton (31-3) while the Rams end their season at 26-10.
