Can anyone unseat the Robbinsdale/Hopkins/Mound-Westonka adapted softball dynasty? The Robins won a sixth consecutive crown in the PI Division (physically impaired) last season.
In the CI Division (cognitively impaired), South Washington County seeks a repeat. The adapted softball state tournament is Friday and Saturday at Coon Rapids High School. Saturday's championship games begin at 1:45 p.m. (PI Division) and 4 p.m. (CI Division).
Here is a look at some teams in the title hunt.
PI DIVISION
Robbinsdale/Hopkins/Mound-Westonka: Fielding errors have plagued the Robins this season, resulting in 31 more runs allowed than last season.
Jordan Klein pitched every inning, but the entire roster has not been present at any point of the season.
But these Robins can hit, scoring 143 runs and posting a .649 team batting average.
Sophomore shortstop and left fielder Andy Hanson batted .786 and drove in 18 runs. Senior infielder Andy Dubisar hit .727 with 15 RBI. Sophomore shortstop Chaun Johnson posted a .724 average with 14 RBI.
Anoka-Hennepin: The Mustangs earned the No. 1 seed out of the North Division, signaling their title intentions with a 11-0 record featuring three defeats of Robbinsdale/Hopkins/Mound-Westonka.
