The Mattoon Premier Fastpitch 18U Gold girls softball team captured the championship of the 18U Class A State Tournament in Moline Sunday.

Premier had to battle rainouts and a busy schedule Sunday to claim the title. The team had to play eight games on Sunday. Local team members include Anni Borries, Kadi Borries and Allison Apke of Teutopolis as well as girls from Casey-Westfield, Carmi, Clinton and Oblong.

The squad, based in Mattoon, is headed for a tournament in Indianapolis this coming weekend.
