It was expected the Dripping Springs softball team would have little trouble with their Bi-District opponent, RR Cedar Ridge. They did not disappoint. Eleven runs was the magic number in their two games. It was 11-0 in the first and 11-1 in five for the second.
This will set the Lady Tigers up for a much tougher match in the Area round. It will be with SA O'Connor (26-4). They are ranked 19th in the state while the Lady Tigers are 18th. It is a matchup that deserves to be played later in the playoffs but it happens at times that a good team goes out early.
In the first game it looked like Cedar Ridge might try to make a game of it when a homerun gave them a 3-1 lead after two. Sadie Bradford shut them down from that point and the Lady Tigers started piling up the runs for the win. Emma Phillips loved the pitching. She had four hits, a homerun and four RBI's. The next game ended quickly as the Lady Tigers scored eleven runs in the second and third and that was enough to invoke the ten-run rule after five.
