Lady Raiders sweep first round of state playoffs

It was a damp cold night at Raider Field but that didn't stop the Madison County Lady Raiders from sweeping their way into next week's round 2 of the state playoffs. Madison County got 3 homeruns from former Prince Ave star Randee Bettis, one of which hit the American flag in deep center field, to cap off the sweep in the best of three series against Johns Creek. The Ladys Raiders took game one by a 9-0 score and won the nightcap 8-0. Both wins were run ruled games ending after 5 innings. Bettis was the winning pitcher in game one and Gabby Gillespie tossed the game two win.
The Lady Raiders await the winner of Marist and Kell who split their first two games of their three game series. If Kell wins that series they will visit Raider Field next week in round two of the AAAA state playoffs. A Marist win would have the Lady Raiders playing at Marist next week. Bri Carr had an outstanding night in by turning 3 double plays on the Raider infield.
