No. 7 Charles City 5, No. 2 Fairfield 4

Shantel VanHauen's single to center gave Charles City a walk-off win after Fairfield tied it on Bryanna Bowman's sixth-inning sac fly.

No. 4 Oskaloosa 3, No. 5 Mount Pleasant 2 (8 innings)

Meghan Moorman's eighth-inning RBI double scored Emily Richmond and put the defending state champions back in the semifinals.
