In the second round of state playoffs on Saturday, May 12, Oxford Preparatory School’s softball team had six hits to Riverside High School’s five but still came up short in a 4-2 loss.
Emily Faucette drove in the Griffins’ first run. Riverside tied it up in the bottom of the 2nd and in the bottom of the 3rd. Riverside homered with a runner on, making it a 4-2 ball game. The entire line up hit all throughout the game but could not get anything to drop. The Griffins only had one strikeout during the day.
These young ladies showed what teamwork could accomplish. This was a #19 seeded team playing a# 3 seeded team in the 1A state playoffs. We are proud of this entire team and very proud to be the Lady Griffins’ softball coaches Thanks for a great season.
