The Lady Bears softball club finished off the regular season emphatically last week, winning at home in convincing fashion on senior night to cap an undefeated run through the Region 11 schedule.
The Bears are now focused on making a run in the state 4A tournament and will begin their playoff quest later this week on home turf.
Bear River closed out the region schedule hosting Mountain Crest on Tuesday, May 4, and the Bears bats got going early with five first-inning runs. The Mustangs got within 5-3 in the top of the second inning, but that was as close as it would get as the Lady Bears added four runs in the third and five more in the fourth, capped off by McCall Maxfieldâs two-run homer, to cruise to a 15-3 win in four-and-a-half innings.

Recounting the history of the Negro Leagues is an incomplete exercise without also including the women who were part of the many stories. The Negro Leagues were the first place that a woman could own and run a baseball team and it was the first professional baseball league where a woman took the field alongside men. But as the Negro Leagues were the result of MLB’s exclusionary practice, so too did the Negro Leagues exclude and diminish the impact of the women who were a part of them.
