A big conference win and a tough non-conference loss last week for the BHS Softball Team moved their record to 4-2 on the season.The Lady Tigers pounded Mendon Unity 17 to 0 at home last Monday then lost 9 to 4 on the road at Pleasant Plains last Thursday. Against Unity, Beardstown had ten hits, drew nine walks and took advantage of six Mustang errors in the easy win.
The first conference game for the Triopia-Meredosia-Virginia baseball squad resulted in a loss, dropping the Trojans to 0-7 on the year. The big blue fell to Carrollton 10 to 2 last Thursday in their only game of the week as their offense continued to struggle.
A mighty fine season is shaping up for the PORTA-AC Central baseball team as two home wins over Class 3A teams last week pushed the Bluejays record to 7-2. Last Monday the Jays defeated Jacksonville 9 to 4 then last Thursday they took down Springfield Southeast 6 to 5 with a walk off win in the bottom of the seventh.
It is tough to have a better week than winning two conference games and not losing but for the Beardstown baseball team, last week’s 2-0 record came with a little bit of whip cream on top. A 15 to 1 trouncing of arch-rival Rushville on the road last Monday was a tasty way to start for the Tigers who parlayed the momentum into a great 3 to 2 victory over Mendon Unity on Tuesday.
There was only one meet on the schedule for the Beardstown Track team with the Tigers hosting a girls only meet last Monday, taking third place out of eight teams. As usual, Diana Huerta had a big day winning the 100 meters, the 200 meters, the triple jump and placing second in the long jump.
