Messenger photo by Britt Kudla Abby Flanagan of North Linn pitches during the state tournament at Rogers Park.

North Linn’s junior pitcher came into the tournament with a 26-2 record and an 0.58 earned run average. The Lynx are now in the championship round, thanks in large part to Flanagan’s 14 innings pitched, one earned run and 21 strikeouts in two complete-game performances. She has surrendered only six total hits in the quarterfinals and semifinals combined.
