Baseball/Softball update

Hi there friends! Hard to believe that high school baseball and softball is drawing to a close and for some teams, it means jockeying for position for postseason tournaments. For the Beebe High teams, it also means competing for conference championships.

For the Beebe Lady Badger softball team, this week was a bit of a letdown as the Crossett Lady Eagles pulled off an upset in game #1 of their doubleheader on Thursday afternoon. The Lady Eagles won game #1 3-2, but lost game #2, 5-3. At the very worst, Beebe is one game behind conference leader White Hall, as their showdown for the conference championship looms on Tuesday. The good news, as far as Lady Badger softball goes, is that junior pitcher Megan Harris was able to come back from what was thought to be a season ending knee injury. With the rotation of pitching that Coach Eric Chambers has, Beebe has a good chance against White Hall on Tuesday.

For the Beebe Badger baseball team, their dream of an undefeated conference season ended in game #1 against White Hall on Thursday, as the Bulldogs won a pitchers duel, 1-0. However, the Badgers got their revenge in game #2, winning 14-5. The Badgers and Monticello Billies are now in a 1st place tie, with the two teams playing on Tuesday at Monticello which should decide the 5A Southeast Conference championship.
