On the other side of the bracket, Dimond, which won a tiebreaker against South to claim the top seed out of the Cook Inlet Conference, took down Sitka, 2-1 to reach the semifinals.
The Lynx will meet 13 and 0 West Valley in the semis. The Wolfpack kept their perfect season alive by downing Soldotna, 4-1. The score was tied at one until West Valley broke the game open with three fifth inning runs.
