A promising postseason ended abruptly for Beaufort High’s softball team, while Battery Creek and Bridges Prep saw their playoff runs end early, as well.
The Eagles entered as the No. 2 seed from Region 8-3A and had high hopes of riding ace pitcher Kylie Rast to a deep postseason run, but defensive lapses and a lackluster showing at the plate led to a pair of losses to derail the dream.
Dillon rallied for a 6-3 win at Beaufort in Wednesday’s playoff opener, and the Eagles fell flat in an elimination game at top-seeded Swansea on Friday.
Battery Creek dropped its first game, 11-1, at Loris but bounced back to win by the same score against Brookland-Cayce on Friday to stay alive before falling short in a 6-2 loss at Camden to end its season.
Bridges Prep also picked up one postseason win, routing Hemingway, 19-9, on Friday with lopsided losses to Latta and Lowcountry Leadership sandwiched around the victory.
