Easley Baseball Upset at Byrnes, Softball Falls to Boiling Springs

Both Easley teams fought their way to the district championships, but the Green Wave crashed in Spartanburg County on Wednesday.

Easley baseball went up against Byrnes High School for a second time during the playoffs. The Rebels had dealt the Green Wave their first loss on Saturday. After fighting their way back to contention, it was again Byrnes that would squash that dream.

Easley needed to beat Byrnes twice to take the district title. But the team would fall short in the first game, 3-2.

Easley softball also would face the team that had put them in the losers' bracket for a second time in this series.

The Lady Green Wave rallied on Saturday and again on Monday to put themselves in position to win a district championship.

The team needed two wins against Boiling Springs to take the title.

The Lady Bulldogs were ready to fight for the title, ending the the season with an 7-0 victory over Easley.

This was the first time in five years Easley softball had made it in to postseason play.
