Douglass softball team advances with landmark victory Rallying from a 4 0 deficit, the Eagles took the lead in the bottom of the sixth, then gave up that advantage when the visiting Bulldogs tied the game at 5 5 in the top of the seventh. In the bottom of the seventh, with two outs and a two strike count, Douglass sophomore first baseman Deidra Harris beat out a grounder for an infield single, allowing sophomore pinch runner Asia Robinson to score the winning run. Douglass (16 2), the No. 3 seed, advanced to Monday's quarterfinal, where it will host 11th seeded North Point of Charles County, which defeated Mount Hebron of Howard County, 13 6, on Thursday. The last time the Eagles won a playoff game was at least 10 years ago, said coach Bill Hay, who had a long tenure as the baseball coach at Douglass before taking over the softball team last year. Thursday's victory marked the first time under Hay that the team had to come from behind to win. And the last time the Eagles won a playoff game against a team from outside of Prince George's County was much longer than 10 years ago. Hay sat in the bleachers about 30 minutes after the final out Thursday trying to recall how long it had been, but the answer eluded him. matters is that we did it, said Hay, who has coached high school sports in Prince George's County for 40 years. Southern was winless in 17 games heading into the day, but Hay made sure his team did not take the Bulldogs lightly, considering the Eagles' recent history against non county opponents. Southern pitcher Sara Whittaker threw 68 of 104 pitches for strikes, and she had eight strikeouts. But once the Eagles figured her out the second time through the batting order, they used their speed to full advantage and got the key hits when needed. Freshman center fielder Leah Williams had two hits as did Harris. Sophomore catcher Cherokee Williams hit a timely two run double in the bottom of the fourth that tied the game at 4 4. Two innings later, sophomore right fielder Tamiko Washington, the No. 9 hitter, got a single that Southern's center fielder misplayed, enabling freshman left fielder Christina Williams to score and give the Eagles their first lead of the game, before each team scored their final runs an inning later. Junior shortstop Christina Smith put the Eagles on the board for the first time with an RBI double in the third. Jordan Scott, at second base, is the only senior player on the roster. Scott led the celebration afterward by running through the dugout and then out onto the field with her joyous teammates. told my girls that every time we do something that we haven't done before, that's one less thing that we have to do to prove ourselves, said Hay. hadn't won a playoff game, we hadn't won an out of county game. It's always been Gwynn Park in our way. One of those things you can cross off the list now. was a big one for us, basically, and we deserved it, added Smith.
