Softball Recap: Billingsley Comes Up Short

Billingsley lost against Maplesville back in April of 2024, and unfortunately they wound up with the same result on Thursday. The Billingsley Bears fell just short of the Maplesville Red Devils by a score of 12-11.

Sadie Primm led a balanced group of hitters, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Claire Seamon, who scored a run while going 1-for-5.

Primm wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Billingsley kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. This was only their first loss (out of five games) when they post 11 or more hits.

Billingsley has been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-6 record this season. The victory made it two in a row for Maplesville and bumps their season record up to 8-7.

Coming up, Billingsley will be taking part in a tournament against Trinity Presbyterian at 11:00 a.m. on March 29th. Maplesville will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Isabella at 4:30 p.m. on April 1st.
