Lord Botetourt was in the semifinals, scheduled to meet Cave Spring on Tuesday. The Cavaliers had beaten the Knights twice during the regular season, but by close scores of 3-2 and 3-0.
The other semifinal had Tunstall playing Staunton River. Both finalists advance to the Class 3 state tournament.
Botetourt’s record was 16-4 after defeating Christiansburg in a regional opening round game last week. The Cavs hammered the Blue Demons, 13-0, as Meredith Wells pitched a three-hit shutout and struck out eight.
Kloe Bacon hit her team-leading sixth home run for LB and Lauren Hoffman had two doubles and drove in four runs. Wells and Emma Tyler both had two hits each.
