The Northfield baseball team took another step forward in pursuing the defense of their state title from a year ago, by winning the Kokomo semi-state  game Saturday. On the arm of Ryan Keaffaber and some early offense the Norse grounded the Adams Central Flying Jets 5-1.

Being the visitors, the Norse wanted to get a good start and did just that in the first inning. Collin Dawes led off with a single and was sacrificed to second on an Adam Roser bunt. Ryan Keaffaber then singled home Dawes to give the Norse an early 1-0 lead. Keaffaber was then picked off first.
