The Bearcats opened the Class 3A playoffs with a 7-2 win over Marlboro County. Maddox Medeiros went 2-2 with 3 RBI and Thomas Donadio drove in two runs for Brookland-Cayce.
After losing 4-3 to Waccamaw on May 2, the Bearcats were locked in a rematch with Marlboro County originally for last Saturday. However, the elimination game was rained out and resumed Tuesday in Bennettsville.
