Coach Eugene Singletary’s Bainbridge High School softball team won two of three games this week.
On senior day Tuesday at the Lady Cats Diamond, they shut out the Americus-Sumter High School Lady Panthers 12-0 with an all-senior lineup.
They followed that victory up with a 16-11 victory over the Early County Lady Bobcats on Wednesday in Blakely.
On Thursday, the Lady Cats dropped a 7-0 decision to the Lee County Lady Trojans in a Region 1-AAAA game in Leesburg.
The Lady Cats will conclude their regular season with a Tuesday, Sept. 27, game against the Cairo Syrupmaids in Cairo, and a Wednesday, Sept. 28, Region 1-AAAA game against the Thomas County-Central Lady Yellow Jackets in Thomas County. The Central game is a make-up of a Thursday, Sept. 15, rainout.
On Tuesday, the Lady Cats scored two runs in the first inning and two more in the second on the way to their victory over Americus- Sumter. Third baseman Diamond Bouie opened the first with a bunt single and moved up when shortstop Briana Wade reached on a fielder’s choice. Both runners came in on a double by pitcher Avis Jackson.
Khadeeijah Cooper singled and was aboard when Diamond Bouie homered in the second.
Catcher Kristen Bennett led off with a home run in the third.

Thursday against Lee County, shortstop Briana Wade tripled with one out in the first, but was stranded.
