Pickens Academy enters the weekend’s regional tournament at the University of West Alabama in Livingston with a 22-2 record and the Lady Pirates have not lost since starting the season 0-2 back in February.
PA closed out the regular season last Monday with a 7-0 shutout win over Edgewood Academy, followed by a 1-1 tie between the Pirates and Wildcats. Pickens Academy head coach Wade Goodman said the two teams had agreed that if the game was tied after seven innings, the two teams would end the contest in a tie.
“They’re so far away, we played a seven-inning game and then we were going to play a five-inning game, and if the second game went to extra innings we were going to just do one (extra) inning,” Goodman said. “We played six innings and it ended in a tie. We ended with the bases loaded.”
