BASTROP — The Bastrop Lady Bears varsity softball team picked up a must-win 6-5 victory over the McCallum Knights April 14 at Bastrop High School.

Bastrop built a 6-0 lead by the end of the third inning after scoring three runs on a home run by Madison Perez in the first, later adding a run on an error and two-RBI double from Lizzie Rodriguez.

Ella Griesenbeck got the start in the circle and was dominant through the first three frames, allowing no runs and recording two strikeouts.
