Deanna Blatnik’s RBI triple fueled the Edison surge. She later scored a run. Olivia Vitaz also drove in a run for Edison.

The third-seeded Eagles also left a runner on base in the fifth and seventh innings, respectively.

Edison finished with seven hits. Colonel Crawford had three hits. Nettie Gallant had two hits, including a double, and Allison Weithman had a base hit for the Eagles.

Edison’s defense retired the Eagles in order in four innings.

The Chargers will now face Sandusky Bay Conference rival and top-seed Huron in the district championship game on Saturday at New Riegel. First pitch is scheduled for noon.

Huron defeated Ashland Crestview 4-2 on Wednesday at New Riegel.
