Abbey Simms throws to second.


Because she wanted the team to face good pitching to help them get ready for the playoffs, Lady Royals head coach Janice Bryan added a game with Schley County. When Bleckley traveled to Ellaville earlier this season, they lost 1-0 in the final inning.

Kendall Morton throws to first to get the out.


Kendall Morton erased an early deficit with a two-run single in the first. Schley tied the game on a steal of home plate in the third. It would stay tied as BC failed to capitalize on having runners at second and third with one out in the home half.

Jordan Williams would beat the tag at third.


Aliyah Whitehead's bases clearing double was part of a five-run fourth. Faith Harris had a two-out, two-run double in the fifth. Harris would account for the game clinching RBI in the sixth as she was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Bleckley won 10-2.

Hannah Coulter missed the game because of the cut on her finger. The Lady Royals await the winner of fourth seeded Crawford County versus fifth seed Putnam County. They will host the winner in a best two of three semifinal Monday.
