Royals edge Elbert County to clinch semifinal berth. ***Updated***

BCHS traveled to Elbert County Wednesday afternoon for a quarterfinal matchup against the Blue Devils. Game one saw the Royals score two in the fourth but struggle with runners on base the rest of the way, at one point leaving nine on in a row. Elbert loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh but BC got out unscathed for a 2-0 victory. Walker Boatright gave up four hits, walked one, and struck out six. He was also 2 for 4. Charles Elliot was 2 for 3. Jay Johnson went 2 for 4. Casey Finch went 1 for 2. In game two, the Blue Devils took a 2-1 lead to the bottom of the sixth until BC scored twice. Though Elbert got a runner on in the seventh, he was left stranded as the Royals clinched their first final four berth since 2023 with a 3-2 win. Gavin Cole and Noah Woodard each went 2 for 3 with a double. Charles Elliot was 1 for 2 with 2 RBI. Caleb Foskey was 1 for 2. Bleckley will host Vidalia for a berth in the state title game series May 14. Game one starts at 5 pm with game two starting at 8. The *if* game will be May 15 at 6 pm.
