Vermilion KO’d from postseason

A late collapse cost the Vermilion Ironhawks a playoff berth.

Needing just one win to secure the program’s first regional slot in at least a decade, the community college softball team was swept in a four-game set by Northern Division rival Rainy River.

After coming from behind to gain two victories April 22, the Voyageurs rallied twice in the seventh inning to sweep two games in Ely - scoring 11-9 and 8-5 victories.
