ANN ARBOR -- A trip to the Division 2 state semifinals was in grasp for Chelsea’s baseball team on Saturday.

Despite a valiant effort, Chelsea fell just short of the final four, falling 3-2 to Mason in 10 innings.

The two teams battled throughout the game until Mason scored the game-winning run from a single by Wyatt Ball in the bottom of the 10th.

Ichesco led Chelsea with two hits and an RBI and Jimmy Sciackitano added a hit and an RBI in the quarterfinal and Wyatt Matusik struck out four batters.

Mason will face Standish-Sterling in the state semifinals on Thursday.
