It took extra innings, a play at the plate and an errant throw to determine the Region 8-AAAA softball champion Monday. Buford (22-6) defeated North Hall 1-0 in the bottom of the eighth inning, using the international tie-breaker rule, to claim the title. “We knew it was going to be a really tough game,” said Buford coach Tony Wolfe.
