Bradford High School’s softball team was held to one run through the first six innings, returning to action after spring break with a 4-2 loss to host Yulee on March 28.
Yulee took advantage of two walks, a single and a wild pitch to go up 2-0 in the bottom of the first.
The Tornadoes (6-3) got an inside-the-park home run from Hannah McFarland in the top of the second, but the Hornets answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the inning.
Trailing 4-1, Bradford got a one-out single from Kiersten Hodges in the top of the seventh. After a ground out, Allie Funderburk hit a run-scoring double. The game ended with the next at-bat on a fly out.

Funderburk’s double was one of two for the Tornadoes, with Taylor Reddish hitting the other.
