BCHS looked to avenge their worst loss of the season, an 8-0 shutout in Ellaville to Schley County last month, when they welcomed the Lady Cats to Cochran. Though they missed some scoring opportunities, they got enough timely hitting to win.

In the home half, Bailey Odom hit her first career home run, a two-run shot. A Lady Cat run in the sixth was answered by a Riley Edge RBI single in the home half.
