AFTON – On a beautiful spring-like afternoon, the Afton Crimson Knights softball team hosted neighboring Bainbridge-Guilford. Afton came into this highly anticipated matchup with a strong 3-0 start to the season, but fell to the Lady Bobcats 15-6. The Crimson Knights fought back in the final two innings to get on the board with B-G pitchers dealing a strong game.

The Bobcats struck first as Breanna Casey hit an infield single, stole second, advanced to third on a passed ball, and scored on Jayslin Henderson’s two-out double.

The score remained 1-0 in efforts of a tremendous defense on both sides with both teams getting lucky on catching runners stealing and terrific line out catches. There were also a few put outs to third, where B-G’s Danica Park kept her foot on the bag at first to get the outs. B-G even turned a double play with Casey stepping on the bag at third for one and a throw to first for the second out.

The Bobcats even picked off Afton in a pickle, attempting to steal home.
