A win in the quarterfinals puts them in a 1:30 p.m. game on Wednesday back at Joe Faber Field for the semifinals.
If the Jaguars lose on Tuesday, they play again on Wednesday at either 10 a.m. or 12:15 p.m. at Bob Cross Fields in Sauk Rapids.
The South Ridge Panthers won the Section 7A title with Carter Anderson's walk-off RBI-single in the bottom of the eight inning against Cherry on Thursday night in an 8-7 win. This marks the fifth straight season that South Ridge has advanced to the state tournament (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and now 2023). On Tuesday in a winner's bracket game, Cherry beat South Ridge 6-4. On Thursday in the Section 7A championship series, South Ridge won 12-6 to force a winner-take-all game.
