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.
