The Lady Hornets fell to the Lady Lions 12-0, but defeated the Lady Tigers, 12-6. The Lady Hornets were scheduled to play the Waco Connally Lady Cadets on Friday, but it was it was not played due to weather concerns.
Stats for the Franklin game were not available at press time, but according to GHS softball coach Andrea Holdbrook, the Lady Hornets did a good job putting the ball in play.
The game against Bremond was different than the first.
“We consistently put the ball in play, and eventually they made a few mistakes,” Holdbrook said. “This time, we took advantage and racked up runs to create a big inning offensively. That cushion gave our pitchers the confidence to finish out the game. It was a good team win.”
