Tuesday night's results: ESCANABA 10, KINGSFORD 0---In Division Two, the Escanaba Eskymos won their "play-in" game in six innings at Lemmerand Park.

Escanaba will travel to Sault Ste. Marie on Friday to play Cheboygan in the district semifinals. Game time is 2:00. The tournament was moved from Saturday to Friday because of a forecast for rain in the Sault on Saturday. GLADSTONE 5, CALUMET 0---In Division Three in Gladstone, the Braves got a shutout performance from pitcher Jenna Steinhoff, who struck out six batters and issused no walks. Morgan Kowalski went 3-for-4 with a double, and she made a diving catch from the catcher's position. Gladstone will host Iron Mountain in the district semifinals Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. RAPID RIVER 11, SUPERIOR CENTRAL 0---In Division Four in Rapid River, the Rockets got a shutout in the circle from Ericka Schwartz, allowing just two hits in the six inning game.
