Dairyland Baseball Playoffs got underway Sunday with Hortonville, Freedom, Shawano and Hofa Park advancing.
Top seeded Hortonville advanced with a 9-1 win over Nichols. Second seeded Navarino saw their season come to a close at the hands of 7th seeded Freedom 2-0. The Rangers led the Dairyland League for most of the season, but a regular season ending loss, cost them the top spot in the playoffs. The team to beat Navarino at the end of the regular season, also won their first postseason game. Hofa Park beat rival Pulaski in the closest game of the weekend 3-2. Shawano Lobos came out victorious in their rivalry with Bonduel 5-2. The 5th seeded Lobos will once again be on the road this weekend.
