Crestview Bulldogs softball traveled to Choctawhatchee High School Thursday, April 20, for an important pre-playoff matchup. After a tough first inning, where they gave up three runs, the Bulldogs began a methodical comeback, scoring a single run each inning until the top of the 7th inning, when they blew the game wide open with a Cambell Toolan home run that brought in three runners.

Sometimes the breaks don’t go your way in sports. That was the case for the Crestview softball team on Thursday night as the Lady Bulldogs hosted rival Niceville. Despite not having anybody strike out, Crestview fell to the Eagles 13-4.

A two-hitter by Hannah Twitty of the Lady Hoboes softball team wasn’t enough to propel Laurel Hill to victory on Tuesday. The one hit, a three-run triple by Vernon in the top of the seventh inning proved to be the difference as the Lady Yellow Jackets took down Laurel Hill 5-3.

Crestview softball coach Michelle Howard lights up when talking about freshman pitcher/first baseman/designated hitter Julian Forest.

“I don’t know where to start, really,” she said. “Having someone who is so versatile, someone who can play defense, who can hit and who can pitch, is an amazing problem to have.
