The Ava High School softball team begins its two-day run in Springfield on Monday as they look for a state title. The Lady Bears will compete in the semifinals
I’m still trying to process what I witnessed in almost three hours of softball Saturday afternoon at Killian Softball Complex in Springfield. I figure I should start with trying to give a title to the Fatima Lady Comets’ improbable, phenomenal, come-from-behind 16-14 victory in eight innings against the Chillicothe Lady Hornets.
It was a game the Helias Lady Crusaders might have wanted to forget. But it was one that may have gotten them to where they are today: the Class 4 softball semifinals. On Oct. 3, Helias jumped out to an early 4-0 lead against Capital City. But the Lady Cavaliers didn’t quit and rallied for a 5-4 victory against the Lady Crusaders. It may have been the wake-up call Helias needed as it will take a six-game winning streak into today’s Class 4 semifinal game against Washington. First pitch is scheduled for noon at the Killian Softball Complex in Springfield.
