ACWORTH -- Class AAA No. 1 Buford saw its 15-game winning streak comew to an end Saturday in a tough 2-1 loss to Class AAAAA fourth-ranked Allatoona.

The Lady Wolves (12-1) had chances to win the game leaving the bases loaded in the first and stranding two runners in scoring position in the fourth inning.

The Lady Buccaneers got the game-winner in the bottom of the sixth with two singles.

Bria Bush (8-1) went the distance for Buford surrendering just five hits and walking none while fanning four batters.
