It’s not easy to score on the Weyauwega-Fremont softball team.
Tomahawk and Amherst learned that lesson the hard way, as neither team could get a run on the Indians in the regional round of the WIAA state tournament.
W-F shut out Tomahawk 2-0 May 26 to win a Division 3 regional championship and opened postseason play May 23 with a 5-0 win over Amherst. The second-seeded Indians faced top-seeded Oconto May 30 on the Blue Devils’ home field.
The winner of that game will face Southern Door or Kewaunee at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 1, in a sectional final in Chilton. The sectional champion will then advance to state, scheduled for Thursday to Saturday, June 8-10, at Goodman Diamond in Madison.

The game remained scoreless until Taylor Folk singled in the bottom of the sixth inning before Ehrenberg’s homer.

Kiley Akey picked up the win on the mound for the Indians in a rematch of Central Wisconsin 8 Conference teams.
