2022 IHSAA softball sectionals: 5 ECI teams advance to semifinals, Cowan to championship

MUNCIE, Ind. — IHSAA softball sectional tournaments began on Monday, and several East Central Indiana teams advanced past the first round.

Cowan, Daleville, Yorktown, New Castle and Wapahani each won their first-round contests, with the Blackhawks earning a spot in the Daleville sectional championship following their Tuesday semifinal victory over Wes-Del.

There were some terrific performances and crushing losses, so here's a look at the status of each sectional bracket thus far:

Class 3A Sectional 24 (at Delta)

Yorktown 2, Hamilton Heights 0

SCAI 3A No. 3 Yorktown (22-3) on Tuesday opened sectional play at Delta with a 2-0 victory over Hamilton Heights, largely due to star senior Alanah Jones' no-hitter in the circle.
