PHOTOS: Foundation Academy softball advances to regional finals

After giving up a run in the top of the first inning to the visiting Lakeland Christian Lady Vikings, the Foundation Academy softball team quickly responded with back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the opening inning and never relented in this Class 1A regional semifinal matchup.

With Belmont University commit Riley Winters dialing up pitches from the circle for the Lions, Foundation didn’t allow another run in the six-inning game and from the batter’s box sophomore Norah Ranaudo led the way, going 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs.

With the win, Foundation advanced to the Region 2 championship game — falling to Geneva School, 5-3, May 15 at home.
