Greer High School’s softball season came to an end Monday and with that the career of senior pitcher Samantha Bagley.
River Bluff mounted a 3-run rally in the seventh inning that held up for a 7-5 win at Greer in the District I Class AAA playoffs. Greer lost to West-Oak last Friday that set up its exit Monday in the double elimination playoff.
West-Oak’s Hannah Price blasted two home runs, both in a 13-run sixth inning, to smother Greer in a first-round District 1 softball playoff game Friday, 20-7 at Greer. It was the most runs the Lady Yellow Jackets gave up this season.
The Greer High School softball team has had quite a time this year adjusting its goals. Since midseason every win that put the Lady Yellow Jackets further over .500 meant raising the bar another notch.
“Our motto this year has been ‘one goal,’” said coach Ashleigh Anderson. “Number one, we wanted to be a .500 team which we were. Then we wanted to win the region championship.” Greer did that by beating rival Blue Ridge 3-2 in the final regular season game to finish 12-2.
The Greer High School cheerleaders class of 2013-2014 were presented awards at the team’s banquet and the 2014-2015 varsity and jayvee teams were announced.
