Emily Sanders is safe at third.

It's been a busy first week of the season for the Lady Royals. Four single games followed by two at the Crisp County Watermelon Classic last night. Saturday, BC wrapped up tourney play, their seventh and eighth games of the week.

Caroline Thrower makes a low scoop at first base.

Landa Dominy went 1 for 2 with a double in a 5-2 win against host Crisp County. Against Bainbridge, Bleckley was down 3-0 after a half inning. The leadoff batter reached in both the first and second but was left stranded. The Lady Cats got two in the fourth.

Tori Long tags out a player trying to steal second base.

With time expired in the bottom of the fifth, Bleckley tried to rally. Jayla Willis and Ashlyn Williams reached on bunts. Willis scored on a bunt by Tori Long. With two outs, Dominy blasted a three-run home run. But there would be no rally as Bainbridge held on 5-4.

Abbey Sims throws to first for the out.
