Liberty County’s postseason aspirations are gone with the wind. The Panthers lost 10-0 at BC Saturday to fall to 3-5 in Region 3-AAA south.

The Cadets took advantage of the miscues to score seven runs in the third inning.
In other sub-region action, Richmond Hill (7-2) defeated Burke County (4-5) and South Effingham (7-2) defeated Hephzibah (1-8).
Burke County and Benedictine play Friday for the third and final sub-region playoff spot.
