Jadyn Davis did everything in her power to help Davie’s softball team against Reagan in the CPC Tournament semifinals, but her 4-for-4 bat was not nearly enough in 7-1 defeat.
Davie’s first-round game was an easy victory over visiting Mt. Tabor. After mashing Tabor 17-2 and 18-2 in the regular season, third-seeded Davie brushed aside the No. 6 Spartans 13-3 on April 28.
Raelyn Lankford (3 for 4, three RBIs, double, triple), Delaney Parsons (2-3) and Brianna Tolar (2-3, three runs) led the offensive charge in the four-and-a-half-inning game. Riley Potts pitched three scoreless innings before giving the ball to Raegan Davis, who worked the last two innings.
Reagan 7, Davie 1
Davie’s showing in the semifinals at East Forsyth on April 29 was a complete dud.
The Raiders scored in five of their six at-bats. To make matters worse, Davie only managed four hits outside of J. Davis.
Caycee Wilson, the sophomore pitcher for the second-seeded Raiders, pitched another immaculate game against the War Eagles. She cuffed Davie in a 10-1 blowout in the regular season, and she scattered eight hits, walked none and struck out 14 in this one.
Lankford held up her end by going 2 for 3. D. Parsons and Landry Parsons went 1-3 and 1-2, respectively.
Notes: Davie entered state playoffs with a 16-7 record. … J. Davis is hitting a shiny .507 (34 for 64). … The Raiders (21-5) erased a 3-0 deficit and upset No. 1 West Forsyth in the tournament final, 4-3.
