Third ranked Remsen St. Mary’s will play number five Lynnville-Sully Friday afternoon in Carroll in the 1A state baseball championship game. Remsen St. Mary’s beat Mason City Newman 7-4 Wednesday night in the longest tournament game ever played. It took 14 innings to decide it and included a nearly one hour rain delay. The Hawks will play in their third straight title game and will be in search of a second straight championship.
