big week for the baseball/softball teams

Well Badger fans, last week was a huge week for spring sports in Beebe, especially for the BHS baseball team. On Tuesday evening, the Badgers went down to Sherwood to Sylvan Hills and pulled off the biggest doubleheader sweep in BHS baseball history, by defeating Sylvan Hills 13-3 and 10-2. With the sweep, the Badgers may have inched closer to another first for Beebe baseball, a conference championship. Also with the sweep, the Badgers tied the most wins in school history with 17. On Thursday, Beebe defeated Lonoke in a non conference matchup 9-4 to move their record to 18-2. Also on Thursday, Monticello, whom the Badgers were tied in 1st place with, split a doubleheader, so now the Billies, who host the 5A state baseball tournament, are now a game behind Beebe for 2nd place in the 5A Southeast.

The softball team also had a big day on Tuesday as they swept Sylvan Hills to remain undefeated in the 5A Southeast, however, on Thursday, the Lady Badgers were dominated by Wynne, 10-0, in a non conference matchup. Despite the loss, Beebe is staying on track to potentially win another conference championship. Tuesday also marked the debut of Lady Badger softball on NEARSports, as I broadcast game #1. Beebe needed extra innings to defeat the Lady Bears, 5-4 in 8 innings.

Well friends, baseball and softball seasons are in full swing and both of the teams at Beebe High School are off to hot starts. Eric Chambers Lady Badger softball team is 10-2 overall and 6-0 in the 5A Southeast Conference. It looks like it could come down to the Lady Badgers and the White Hall Lady Bulldogs for the conference championship. The first Lady Badger softball broadcast(barring weather) will be on Tuesday, April 13 when the Sylvan Hills Lady Bears come to Gilliam Fields in Beebe. Mark Crafton's Badgers are off to the best start ever in BHS history as they are off to a 15-1 start, including an undefeated start in the 5A Southeast Conference. The Badgers step out of conference play on Friday, April 9, as they take on the Cabot Panthers in the first Badger baseball broadcast on NEARSports this season. First pitch is at 5 PM, with pregame at approximately 4:50 PM. I will, of course, upload every game immediately, so that fans, players, and parents alike can enjoy all the great action.
