Lady Green Wave Shut Out in Championship Series

If Boiling Springs was hot during its win in Summerville Monday night, it was even hotter on the team's home turf Wednesday.

The Bulldogs had three home runs in four innings and crushed the Green Wave 11-0 before the mercy rule was called in the fifth inning to end the second game of the series and hopes for a Summerville AAAA softball state championship title. 

Both teams were vying for their first ever state championship title. This was Summerville's third shot at state. 

Summerville was unable to make it home the entire game, and was unable to stop Boiling Springs' batters.

In the first inning, Boiling Springs set the tone for the quick game with one run followed by a home run that brought two runner to home plate. In the second, the Bulldogs picked up another run.

It was the third inning that sealed the team's victory. Boiling Springs opened took the bat at the bottom of the third, and opened with three runners being brought home by a homerun to bring the score to 7-0. They followed up by bringing two more runners home. 

The fourth inning saw another homer from the Upstate team, adding two more to the score and making it 11-0. A team must be winning by 10 or more and the game must be in the fifth inning before the mercy rule is enacted.
