Softball Roundup — Teams finish their first region series

Many Houston County teams, though not all, finished their first region series last week.

Here’s a roundup of last week’s softball:

Houston County

HoCo swept their series against Lee County last week 5-1 on Tuesday, 12-0 in game one on Thursday and 17-14 in game two. The Lady Bears’ nearly three-year perfect region streak was in jeopardy in game two of their doubleheader against Lee County. Ann Marie DeFore delivered a three-run bomb to walk off the Lady Trojans and preserve HoCo’s perfect region record. 

They also played Colquitt County, North Cobb and Lassiter over the weekend. They won the first two games 3-2 and 8-3 respectively, but lost to Lassiter 9-1 on Saturday. They take on Coffee home on Tuesday at 6 p.m. and travel for the doubleheader on Thursday starting at 4 p.m.
