Okarche’s Ethan Kirby attempts to backhand a ball at second base during his team’s 13-3 win over Barnsdall in the opening game of the Class A baseball regional. The Warriors followed up that win with a 17-0 victory over Porum on Thursday evening, leaving them one win shy of reaching the state tournament. The first opportunity came Friday evening (after press time) when Okarche was set to host the Porum-Pioneer winner at 6:30 p.m. If Okarche won, the Warriors punched their ticket to state. A loss would mean a rematch on Saturday. See the KT&FP Facebook page for results over the weekend.
