8 p.m.FORT BRAGG — Justin-Siena High School scored four runs in the top of the ninth inning Thursday to beat No. 2 seed Fort Bragg, 8-4, in the semifinals of the CIF North Coast Section Class A semifinal softball playoffs.

Freshman Hailey Breakwell went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs and Caroline DeVincenzi was 2-for-5 with a double and two RBIs for Justin-Siena (17-8 overall), the tournament’s No. 3 seed which is 2-0 in the playoffs. The game was played in cold, windy and dusty conditions.
