The 1a regionals opened last night as Christ Our Rock got past Odin/Patoka/Sandoval 2-1. Colton Oelze was the complete game winner allowing 4 hits and 1 run with 7 strikeouts. And a touching moment prior to the game as the two teams came together to pray for the Sandoval Community who lost 2 young people this week to a car accident with a 3rd injured.
