  • Lady Eagles close in on division championship

    The Lady Eagles are one win away from earning the number one divisional seed for the playoffs after holding on for a 2-1 win over Ingomar on Monday.

  • Ingomar claims division championship, defeating Myrtle

    Andy Wilbanks was exhausted during his team’s game against Myrtle on Thursday. Spending the day witnessing the birth of his second child, he took a different approach to the game, opting to take a step back and let his team work their way out of an early 4-1 deficit. His patience worked, as the Falcons eventually run ruled the Hawks, 15-5, to win the Division 2-1A championship.

  • Lady Eagles hold on for win at Myrtle

    West Union’s undefeated division record was on the line Tuesday and looked to be in jeopardy at Myrtle. Despite a strong 5-0 start, the Lady Eagles rallied in the final innings of their 9-7 win.

    Bailey Bogue and Gina Beth Conlee each had hits in their first two at bats, leading West Union to the 4-0 start after three complete innings. Bogue brought in the game’s first run with her single and Conlee hit an RBI double in the third to make it 4-0.

  • Big bats lift Mantachie to win at East Union

    East Union works hard at not allowing their opponents the big inning, but in their division opener Thursday night, they gave up three, falling to Mantachie, 16-3, at home.

    The Lady Urchins took an early 1-0 advantage with Rachel Elder plating Heather Dillard with her triple, and between the pitching of Alie Haynie and their defense, East Union held the Lady Mustangs hitless until the fourth inning. That is when things fell apart defensively for Andy Kirk’s squad.
