  • One bad inning drops BE softball

     LOUISVILLE – There is a big difference in teams between the first game of the season and the post-season, just ask the Bullitt East Lady Chargers.

    Coach Ricky Hoffman’s team had defeated Butler 8-0 in the first game of this season back when it was still winter, March 13.

    That all changed in difficult ways for Bullitt East on Monday as the red and gold suffered a 4-3 loss to the Bearettes in the first game of the Sixth Region Tournament.

    The game was played at Holy Cross, one of the area’s top teams, as the Lady Cougars were coming off a championship in the 21st District tournament. North Bullitt reached the Sixth Region Tournament as the runner-up in the 23rd District.
