The regular season came to an end for the Cambridge-Isanti softball team on a high note as the Bluejackets slugged by Duluth East 11-7 on Friday, May 19, on the road.
Cambridge-Isanti built an 11-2 lead into the top of the seventh before the Greyhounds mounted a five-run rally to trim the advantage. Alayna Szafranski kept Duluth East at bay, however, securing the last out for the Bluejackets’ win.
