Paris fans made the three hour plus drive on Thursday to Ashdown to watch the Paris Lady Eagles take on the Dover Lady Pirates in the first round of the Class 3A softball tournament. And not only did the Lady Eagles, a number one seed in the tournament, get a 6-0 win over the four seed Lady Pirates, the Paris fans were treated to a piece of Lady Eagles history as senior Jadyn Hart pitched a complete and perfect game, not allowing any base runners or hits in the state tournament win.
Paris now advances to the state quarterfinals on Friday and will play the Bald Knob Lady Bulldogs. That game will start at 10 a.m. in Ashdown. The winner of Friday’s games will advance to Saturday’s semi-finals that will also be played in Ashdown.
Resident Press will have a day two update from the state tournament on Friday night. Photos from today’s game will be available on Facebook at Paris Eagles Sports early next week.
So for now, hello to all you Eagles fans out there from the state tournament, and I hope to see you at the ballpark on Friday as the Lady Eagles continue to follow their dream of a class 3A state title!
