HARRISBURG â On Friday, South Caldwellâs softball team defeated top-seeded Hickory Ridge, 16-0, in five innings in the Class 4A state quarterfinals on the Raginâ Bullâ home field.
After a scoreless first inning, fourth-seeded South Caldwell - the 2019 4A champions - put on a show in the top of the second, producing eight hits and nine runs to effectively put the game away. The Spartans, who finished with 19 hits, won by way of the state-mandated âmercy rule.â
âThatâs probably one of the best-hitting teams that Iâve ever seen,â said Hickory Ridge coach Justin Davies of the Spartans. âEvery one of them attacked the ball, they were aggressive, they had great swings, great coaching. Theyâre going to go deep, and thereâs a reason why theyâre the deafening state champs.â

HARRISBURG â On Thursday, the Hickory Ridge softball team defeated Lake Norman, 8-3, to advance to the third round of the Class 4A state playoffs.
The top-seeded Raginâ Bulls play host to fourth-seeded South Caldwell today at 6 p.m.
While the Raginâ Bulls finished with a comfortable margin of victory Thursday, it was a comeback win over the eighth-seeded Wildcats, who led 2-1 â with no earned runs heading into the bottom of the fifth inning.Â
What came next, though, was nothing less than explosive.
The first to bat for the Raginâ Bulls was Alycea Gilliam. After a few foul balls, she rocketed a single to far left field. Then came a pair of bunt singles from senior captain Jadyn Jonasse and sophomore Grace Bechtol, loading the bases with no outs. Suddenly, the Raginâ Bulls were in tremendous scoring position.
