Tuesday night was the resumption of a rivalry as BCHS hosted Monticello. The Lady Royals and Lady Canes battled for region supremacy as members of 4-AA for years. BC lost to the Canes at the elite eight in 2017.

Play was delayed for almost an hour and a half due to lightning in the area. When it began, ten batters came to the plate in the bottom of the first as Bleckley took a 4-0 lead. They would miss opportunities to add to their advantage, stranding two runners in the second, leaving the bases loaded in the third.
