Gordon Lee’s offensive attack has apparently peaked at the right time.
The Lady Trojans hit two home runs in a 15-6 win over Bremen on Thursday, giving them four in two games at the GHSA Class AAA fastpitch softball state tournament in Columbus. Gordon Lee (26-5) moves to the winners-bracket final versus Wesleyan (30-2) at 3 p.m. Friday, where the winner will be one win away from a state championship.
In the Class AAAA tournament in Columbus, Heritage’s season ended with an 8-0 loss to Whitewater in the losers bracket.
For Gordon Lee, the outburst against familiar foe Bremen, Region 6 teams that split a pair of regular-season games by identical 5-4 scores, was needed. The Lady Trojans started quickly when Kate Chambers hit a grand slam after three first-inning walks.
Bremen, however, used a pair of errors and two singles to score two runs in the bottom half. The Lady Trojans answered right back with three runs in the second on Ella Grace Hixon’s RBI triple, an error that scored a second run and Gracie Helton’s solo homer.
