Friday, Century College (33-14) overcame an early 2-0 Ridgewater lead to beat the Warriors.
Nick Ibrahim went 4-for-5 with a triple and two runs and Brock Larsen was 4-for-5 with a double and a run for the Ducks.
St. Cloud (21-10) beat North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton (7-21) 2-1 to advance to play the Warriors.
For the Cyclones, Joel Torres Rivera and Brock Woitalla each had three hits. Blaine Fischer, a freshman from Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa, went 1-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI for St. Cloud. Cayden Hansen, a freshman from Willmar, was 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run for the Cyclones.
