Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook Benjamin Russell's Chloe Davis fouls off a ball against Pinson Valley.

After a nearly flawless tournament run, Benjamin Russell’s softball team fell just short of the Central Alabama Classic championship when the Wildcats were defeated by Beauregard, 5-3 in three innings, in the tournament semifinals on Saturday evening.

Benjamin Russell’s less-experienced pitchers were put to the test against the Hornets and they struggled early on. But after ace Taylor Harris did all of the work up to that point in the tournament, the Wildcats continued with their game plan and let Ryann Ruffin and Carley Henderson get in some much-needed work.
