SOFTBALL: Elk Lake, Holy Cross back in 2A championship game

Elk Lake and Holy Cross are back for another meeting in the District 2 Class 2A softball championship game.

The meets will meet Tuesday at 4:30 at Tunkhannock in a rematch of the game Elk Lake won, 2-1, a year ago.

Holy Cross 8, Carbondale 0

Mia Galella and Kaci Kranson each hit home runs to help back the shutout pitching of Megan Nidoh.
