Lady Tigers finish 4th in State! – Fantastic voyage for Lady Tiger Softball

The finish may have been disappointing but the final results of the season and the journey there were fantastic for the Beardstown Middle School softball team as they finished the year placing fourth in the Class 2A IESA State Softball Tournament.  In just year two of the BMS softball redux, the Lady Tigers have served notice they will be a player on the state scene by bringing home a state trophy.  Beardstown opened State Tournament play at Champions Field in Normal in impressive fashion, defeating Princeton Logan 7 to 0 in the opening quarterfinal game.  Scheduled for Friday morning, a needed rainstorm hit the Bloomington-Normal area Thursday night and continued until all games were moved to Saturday, meaning the quarterfinal winners would have to play two games in one day.
