The three teams representing Region 13C at the 2022 Minnesota Baseball Association state tournament were determined last weekend.
The Luverne Redbirds will receive a first-round bye after defeating the Milroy Irish 2-1 in the best-of-three region championship series games.
The Birds will face the winner of a game between the Cannon Falls Bears and Buckman Billygoats at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, in Faribault.
The Irish, the No. 2 seed from Region 13C, will open the tournament Saturday in Dundas against the Webster Sox, the No. 4 seed from Region 3. This will be Webster’s first-ever state tournament appearance.
In the Region 13C third-place series, the Fairmont Martins swept the Hadley Buttermakers in two games to secure the third and final state tournament bid from southwest Minnesota.
The Martins will open state tournament play against the Avon Lakers, the second seed from Region 8, Saturday morning in Dundas.
