By Brian Hamilton, Sports Correspondent

Gordo picked up three wins in its weekend trip to Carbon Hill for the Bill Collins Classic last weekend. The Lady Waves picked up wins over Dora and Winfield on Friday night, while falling to Carbon Hill 7-2 on Saturday morning to wrap up pool play. Gordo defeated Cold Springs 10-3 in the first game of elimination play, before falling in the tournament semifinals to defending 4A state champion Northside 6-0.

“Northside, they’re very good,” Kosloff said. “Bethany (Vintson) pitched the game of her life in that game. It was the bottom of the fifth, nothing-to-nothing, and they hit one into no man’s land with two outs and they ended up scoring two runs. Then, they ended up scoring four runs in the sixth, all with two outs.”
