The Edgewood Academy softball team gave their seniors a night to remember, roaring to an 11-0 victory over Lowndes on senior night.
Fittingly it was the seniors who took center stage; Avery White and Emmah Clement were among the top of the team in the hitting category with two hits. White also added two runs and Clements secured five RBIs. Lily Stubbs, the final senior, added a run in the bottom of the second inning.
Lexie Smith, Channing McAnnually and Addie Stubbs joined in on the hitting success by each logging two hits on the day.
Clements saw soul duties in the circle for Edgewood. Through four innings she racked up three strikeouts and two walks, surrendering two hits and zero runs in the senior night shutout.
Wildcats fall in a nail-biter on senior night
Lowndes found itself on top early in Edgewoods’ senior night clash,ultimately coming away with an 8-7 victory.
The Rebels started strong, jumping out to a 6-0 lead before the Wildcats found themselves on the board. However, the Wildcats mounted their strike, scoring five runs in the bottom of the third inning to put the game within one run. Then again scored another two runs to put themselves in the lead thanks to Landon Smith scoring on a passed ball.
However, that's when the momentum found itself in the hands of Lowndes. It would score via a walk in the top of the fifth to tie the game up and followed with a triple in the seventh to bring in the game-winning run.
Smith finished the day with one hit to pair along with his two runs scored. Grayson Jones, Cooper Freeman and Ethan Seals each added a hit to their stat totals. Except it was senior Garrett Meyers who had the best day at the plate, racking up two hits and two runs scored against Lowndes.
Although not the way Edgewood hoped to send off its seniors, it will look to get back to its winning ways in a three-game slate against Morgan Academy.
