Leeds —  

Leeds’ Lady Green Wave was eliminated from the state Class 3A softball tournament last weekend, losing two of three games. 

Straughn defeated the Lady Green Wave in the opener, 10-0, in six innings, before Leeds knocked Colbert Heights out of the tournament with a 10-5 win, scoring five runs in the bottom of the second and sixth innings.  Laci Driggers hit 3-4 with two doubles and a single, and Abbie Ellison was 3-4 with two singles and a double.  Brianna Glenn and Alisha McSweeny were both 2-4.  Miss Driggers was the winning pitcher with 13 strikeouts. 

A 7-6 loss to Winfield removed the Lady Green Wave from the playoff.  Ahead, 6-3, after six innings, Leeds allowed Winfield to take the lead with four runs in the top of the seventh.  Miss Driggers was 2-4 with two RBIs.
