ACKLEY – A pair of minor mistakes in the first inning of Monday's regional final between AGWSR softball and Bishop Garrigan ended up being enough for the Golden Bears to advance to the Class 1A state tournament, 1-0 winners over the Cougars.
  
A pitch got away from Cougar pitcher Taryan Barrick that hit Mackenzie Meister with one out in the first inning. Meister stole second and Emma Fogarty ripped a double to the right-field fence to score Meister as the game's only run.
