The Northside softball team didn’t necessarily need four more runs to finish off a sweep of Flowery Branch on Wednesday at home, but it was happy to have them nonetheless. Freshman right fielder Jada Chadwick came to the plate with the bases loaded in the sixth inning of Game 2 and belted a grand slam to put Northside ahead 11-1. The Lady Patriots held the lead and, coupled with their 4-3 win in Game 1 earlier, advanced to the state Class AAAAA softball tournament.
