Buffalo Gap defeats Middlesex in Class 1 softball quarterfinals

SWOOPE — Caroline Alger is confident. In her senior season at Buffalo Gap, the pitcher feels like it’s the Bison’s year in state softball.

“We’re going to win it this year,” Alger said Tuesday afternoon. “I know we are.”

His comments came after Buffalo Gap’s 4-0 victory over Middlesex in the Class 1 quarterfinals at Buffalo Gap High School. With this victory, Gap will play in the state semifinals Friday at 12:30 p.m. at the Botetourt Sports Complex in Troutville.

Algiers earned the complete victory, allowing just one hit and striking out 14 in the victory. His bat was perhaps just as important as his arm. In a scoreless game in the bottom of the fourth, the Gap senior hit a solo home run that just cleared the left field fence.
