Random notes: Holdingford's baseball team won a share of the Central Minnesota Conference title this year for the first time since 2005. Holdingford's fastpitch team won the CMC title for the first time in school history. Maple Lake's fastpitch team defeated the defending Class AA state champion Park Center in convincing fashion. If the Irish (19-4) defeat Park Center once more on Thursday, they will punch their ticket to the state tournament. The Irish fastpitch team last made the state field in 2009, when they finished runner-up in Class A for the second straight year.
