The rain did not damper the Lady Pirates Thursday as they traveled to LCC for a conference game with the T-Birds. The Pirates have been rained out all week, coming off a 6-4 loss to Crestview last Thursday and a 22-3 blasting of Anna on Saturday.
After a short wait on the rain to clear a bit, the Pirates opened up with a home run smash by Molly Lengyel in the first inning scoring two runs.
A men's alumni basketball tournament is set Saturday, June 4, at Bluffton High School, according to Todd Boblitt, BHS boys' coach.
