Championship games will be set in all five classes on Wednesday.

The third day of the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union State Softball Tournament could bring with it plenty of intrigue and excitement.

With the new double-elimination format, several teams will be looking to fight their way back following losses earlier this week. That includes three-time defending Class 3A champion Williamsburg, who will need to top Mount Vernon in back-to-back games to stay alive in pursuit of becoming the first-ever to win four in a row.

The top side of all five brackets reached the final stages of elimination play on Tuesday night while the bottom will start with a win-or-go-home game before that victor looks to win twice and reach the finals.

Championship games in Class 2A and Class 4A are set for Thursday from Rogers Park in Fort Dodge, with Class 1A, Class 3A and Class 5A taking to the diamond on Friday. All games of the state tournament are streaming live, and High School On SI Iowa will be providing live updates throughout the event.

Live Updates!

Our live updates will begin as soon as the first contest starts, with games taking place on all five diamonds throughout Wednesday at the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union State Softball Tournament in Fort Dodge from Rogers Park.
