Tri meets Tecumseh in the Class 1A state championship game on Saturday, June 10.
Winning tournament games has become part of the Tri girls softball program.
On Saturday, the sixth-ranked Titans (25-3) have the opportunity to win the biggest contest in school history as they face No. 5 Tecumseh (22-9) in the Class 1A state championship game at Ben Davis High School at 10:30 a.m.
“We are living a dream come true,” Tri Coach Bryan Peggs said. “We are going to enjoy this journey.”
The Titans have won four straight sectional titles and three consecutive regional crowns.
“Our girls have worked hard all year and have built on the foundation set for them from the program the last few years,” Peggs said.
Tri has won 14 games in a row, including a 4-3 victory over South Central last weekend in the semi-state championship game.
Winners of state titles in 2009 and 2011, Tecumseh has won six in a row as the Braves beat Indianapolis Lutheran 8-2 to earn the school’s eighth trip to the state finals.
Lauren Bouslog leads the Titans in hitting with a .480 average followed by Kirsten Falck at .477 and Destiny Taylor at .454.
Payton Moore leads the way in homers with four, while Falck has a team-high 28 RBI.
On the mound, Moore is 19-2 this season with an ERA of 1.97 with 156 strikeouts.
Alicia Webb is the top hitter for the Braves with a .517 average. Kaitlyn Flowers has four home runs to go with 31 RBI.
Maddie Duncan is listed as the probable starting pitcher. She is 9-2 with an ERA of 2.66 with 46 strikeouts. Whitney Brogran is 11-7 with a 3.86 ERA and 81 strikeouts.
