WOODROW — The Wylie softball team clinched a share of the District 4-5A title and locked up the league’s No. 1 playoff seed Friday night with a 6-2 road win over Lubbock Cooper.
The Lady Bulldogs, who closed district play on a five-game winning streak, scored the final five runs of the game to pull away for the win after the Lady Pirates had taken a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning.
The victory improved Wylie (24-8 overall) to 9-3 in 4-5A play, setting up a three-way tie atop the standings between itself, Lubbock Cooper (17-13, 9-3) and Lubbock Monterey (20-12-2, 9-3). But the Lady Bulldogs earned the top playoff seed by virtue of a 3-1 record against those two squads.
