ASHLAND, Ohio (AP) - Erin Faulkner struck out 11 in a three-hitter, pitching Wheelersburg to its first state softball championship game with a 2-1 win over Archbold in the Division III semifinals Thursday.

Faulkner (21-4) didn't allow a run until Britt Sevey's RBI double with none out in the bottom of the sixth. With the tying run at third, Faulkner retired the next three hitters to get out of the jam and then tossed a perfect seventh to finish her complete game.

Kendra Stahl (19-8) allowed two runs on four hits, walked four and struck out six in seven innings for Archbold (23-8).
