Teams have punched their tickets to the inaugural state sanctioned softball tournaments in South Dakota. All three classes held their SoDak16 playoff round on Tuesday night.
In Class B, three of the teams received automatic bids to the state tournament, because there are only 13 teams in the division.
The state tournament will take place on June 1-3 in Aberdeen. Class AA will take place at Koehler Hall of Fame Field at Northern State University, while Class A and B will take place at the Players Softball Complex.
