ELM GROVE — Bridgeport was seeking its first OVAC Tom Bechtel Class 2A Softball Championship since 2018. Caldwell has won four championships in the last five years.

The Bulldogs and Redskins will have to wait until Friday to see who adds to the tournament titles as Monday night’s contest was halted by inclement weather with top seeded Caldwell holding a 6-0 advantage over the second seeds.

Both teams will return to Ben’s Field at the I-470 J.B. Chambers Sports Complex on Friday at 5 p.m. to complete the game.

Caldwell, which has won titles at the Class 2A and 3A levels in the past five years, took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first as Bridgeport committed a pair of costly errors.

A trio of errors by the Bulldogs in the bottom of the fifth allowed the Redskins to build a 6-0 bulge.

Bridgeport has managed just two singles off of Makyla Mumaw who also has seven strikeouts and a walk.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs’ Vanessa Mullen has pitched well enough to keep her team close. The lefty has two punch outs and was issued one free pass. She has yielded four hits.

When play resumes, Caldwell has runners on first and second with a 1-0 count on Mattie Hesson.
