THE DIVISION 4 FIELD:  Pecatonica, the top seed in the bracket, will make its first-ever appearance in the tournament following a 5-2 win over Johnson Creek in the sectional final hosted by Pecatonica. The Vikings finished first in the East Division of the Six Rivers Conference in 2023. Second-seeded Ithaca has qualified for State for the fifth time and for the first time since 2018. The Bulldogs’ four previous appearances came in a five-year span, which produced a championship in 2016 and a runner-up finish in 2015. They placed third in the Ridge & Valley Conference this year, and they have advanced to the State Tournament after a 6-2 victory over Eleva-Strum in the Blair-Taylor Sectional final.  Edgar, the third seed, is another program celebrating its first-ever appearance in the State Tournament this season. The Wildcats had to put in a bit of extra work to earn their berth with a 2-1 win over Pacelli in eight innings. They finished fourth in the South Division of the Marawood Conference this season. Fourth-seeded McDonell Catholic advances to the State Tournament for the seventh time and for the first time since 2014. The Macks have finished as State runners-up in five of their previous six experiences including one in Division 3 in 2005, and three straight in Division 4 from 2009-11 and again in 2014. Prior to joining the WIAA, they won a WISAA title in 1988 according to available records. This season, they finished fourth in the Western Division of the Cloverbelt Conference, and they trounced Washburn  11-2  to win the Webster Sectional final.
