Locals represent area in AISA all-star clashes
The baseball was broken down into a junior's game and a senior's game. In the junior tilt Clarke Prep School's Taylor Becton and J.D. Powell were on the National team that fell 14-13 to the American team. The Gators' Powell had put the Nationals on top 13-12 in the ninth inning with a 400-foot homer at Riverwalk Stadium. Powell's blast was the only one hit by either squad. Powell started the game at second base, but also saw playing time at third where he had several key putouts. Becton was one of only two players who started and played the entire game. He did not have a hit, but he added two RBI and stole a base. The two teams combined for 27 hits in the contest. In the senior game Clarke Prep's Clay Furrow and Wesley Morgan played on the American team that lost 5-2 to the Nationals. Furrow got the start at second base. Morgan came on to play third in the sixth inning.
On the softball side the junior team took on the seniors in a double-header on Tuesday afternoon at Lagoon Park. In the opener the juniors beat the seniors 8-4. Clarke Prep's Corrie Allen went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI to help pace the team. Fellow Lady Gator Tess Ackerman went 1-for-1 and was also hit by a pitch. Jackson Academy's Evin Bowling got the starting nod behind the plate and went 1-for- 3 with a run scored. Bowling squared-off against her season-long battery mate Bailey Pringle. Pringle pitched two innings and allowed three earned-runs while striking out two. In the second game the seniors got their revenge as they won 6- 3. Ackerman went 1-for-1 and Bowling went 1-for-2 for the juniors. Pringle was walked and scored a run for the seniors as well as pitching one frame, allowing no hits and fanning two batters.
