Head coach Teresa Gray congratulates Trinity Glover on her second inning grand slam.


The playoffs provide something BCHS desperately needed as they welcomed Bacon County for a first round matchup Monday afternoon. A new start. After two straight bad games to end the regular season, the Lady Royals sought to get back on track.

Jordyn Krieg scored the game-tying run in the sixth inning of game one.


Trinity Glover’s grand slam capped a six-run second inning. Bacon fought back and was within 6-4 in the fourth. Glover struck again in the home half, this time a two-run shot.

The Lady Raiders answered with five in the fifth, including a two-run homer of their own. Down 9-8 in the sixth, Clara Rickerson’s RBI hit tied the game, but two runners were left on base. Bleckley stranded two more runners in the seventh.

Riley Haley had a double in game two.


Glover was 2 for 5 with six RBI. Clara Rickerson was 3 for 4 with 1 RBI. Jordyn Krieg went 2 for 5.

Riley Haley scattered five hits over six innings, no walks, to get the pitching win.
