Lady Bears Softball Close Out 2018 Season with Loss in State Playoffs to Allatoona

The Lady Bears entered the first round of the State Playoffs hosting Allatoona for a double header but unfortunately fell short getting defeated in back to back games, ending their successful 2018 season.   

The Bears fell behind early in the first game and couldn't come back in a 5-1 loss to Allatoona on Thursday, October 11th. Allatoona took the lead on a home run in the second inning.  Lauren Cooper led things off in the circle for the Bears, pitching seven innings and allowing five runs on seven hits.  Liz Seymour and Livi Payne each collected one hit to lead the Bears. The Bears Defense was sure-handed in the field and didn't commit a single error. 

The Bears were outdone in the second game by Allatoona losing 7-3. The Bears fired up the offense in the second inning when Luci Allen drove in one run when she singled. Allatoona pulled away for good with five runs in the third inning with multiple hits and a sacrifice fly.  Sydney Herbold led things off in the circle for the Bears, going two innings, allowing five runs on two hits. Jessie Smith threw four innings out of the bullpen.  Liz Seymour went 3-for-3 at the plate to lead the team in hits. Chooch Carroll, Haley Brown, Luci Allen, Livi Payne, and Nikki Tanguay all contributed with hits.

Audrey Smith, Haley Brown, Luci Allen, Sydney Herbold, and Chooch Carroll played their last game on the Cambridge Softball field but will be back next year to cheer on the Bears!
