     The season came to an end Monday for the Sheridan County Security First Regulators as they lost twice at the American Legion Class C Seniors State Tournament in Rushville, 9-5 to Imperial and 10-2 to Wilber.
    The loss to Imperial was the resumption of a Sunday night game halted by the weather. Sheridan County was up 5-3 and batting in the top of the 5th when the game was stopped, but Imperial scored 3 in both the 5th and 6th for the win
That dropped the Regulators into an elimination game in the afternoon against Wilber. They scored a run in the top of the 1st, but Wilber got 2 in the bottom of the inning and never lost the lead.
      They made it 4-1 after 3 innings and 5-1 after 4. Sheridan County got a run back in the 5th to close to 5-2, but Wilber scored 5 times in the 6th to win on the run rule.Â
The Regulators had almost as many errors – 4 – as hits – 5 – while Wilber played errorless ball and swatted 9 hits.
       Wilber now plays Malcolm, the last undefeated team after handing Imperial its first loss of the postseason 8-5, holding Imperial scoreless over the final 5 innings.
Today’s other game has DCB (Dannebrog-Cairo-Boelus) against Imperial. DCB smashed Lincoln Lutheran 10-0 in 5 innings, giving up just 1 hit.
