Buford (14-2-1,6-2 Region 8-6A) trailed 2-0 after the second inning but used a four-run third to take the lead over the Lady Falcons (10-3,7-2 Region 8-6A). Dacula answered, however, with two runs in the third and fourth to retake the lead, 6-4.

It stayed that way until Buford scored one in the top of the seventh. But they left the potential game-ahead runs on base to end the game.

The Lady Wolves next will travel to Winder-Barrow on Thursday in another huge region showdown.
