Winder-Barrow rarely let an opportunity go to waste with the bases loaded in its Region 8-AAAAA softball tournament doubleheader on Wednesday at Flowery Branch High. A Lady Bulldoggs (13-11) grand slam in Game 1 led to a 5-4 victory, and a bases-loaded single in Game 2 scored three runs after a Flowery Branch error to help complete the sweep in a 9-0 win in the best-of-three, second round series. With the win, fifth-seed Winder-Barrow (13-11) secured its first state playoff berth since 2009 and moves on to face top-seeded Heritage on Monday in a best-of-three region tournament semifinal series in Conyers.
