Springfield-area high school baseball teams took another step toward the state semifinals by winning sectionals and districts on Monday evening to advance to the quarterfinal rounds later in the week.
Here's what happened Monday:
Greenwood 12, Oak Ridge 5
Class 1 sectional
In its second season as a varsity program, Greenwood is a win away from the Class 1 state semifinals after a dominant performance over Oak Ridge. Junior first baseman Chance Rose finished the game 2 for 3 with a home run and four RBI. The Bluejays will play the No. 1 team in Class 1 after Cooter's 2-1 win in nine innings against Oran.
