BETHANY – The Lady Bronchos shrugged off an early deficit to to take a 4-2 lead over Bishop McGuinness before severe weather in the area suspended the game in the third inning Thursday (Aug. 15).

Bethany coach Booker Blakley told West Metro Sports via text that both schools would try and finish the game at a later date. Both teams are scheduled to play multiple games in their respective tournaments Friday (Aug. 16) so the decision was made to suspend the game.

Bethany (1-0) got a run back in the bottom half of the inning. Junior Madison Bibbs doubled and then scored on an Irish error on a ground ball from fellow junior Berkley Johnson.
