For the first time in nearly five seasons, Lehman High’s softball team is postseason bound.

By virtue of a 9-7 extra innings win over the Akins Eagles Friday, paired with a key Del Valle Cardinals loss to the Hays Rebels on the same night, Lehman (24-9, 10-6) secured the fourth and final playoff spot out of 25-6A and the program’s first playoff berth since the 2014 campaign. It also marks the first time Lehman High’s softball team has reached the postseason at the 6A level.
