Senators one win away from state tournament berth
RENO -- A long time has passed since the Carson High softball program reigned as a state champion in 1994 and won four successive zone tournament championships between 1995 and '98. And while the Senators still have a way to go before they return to that level, they are at least knocking on the door after splitting two games at the Northern 4A Regional Tournament on Friday afternoon.
Carson rallied for a 6-5 victory against McQueen to advance to the winners bracket final, where the Senators ran into high-powered Spanish Springs and dropped a 10-0 decision in five innings on a hot and sunny day at Bishop Manogue High School.
