to Warner
Robins 5-2 in a makeup
home game, got back in the
win column for the Region
1-AAAAA softball stand
ings at 4-1. Hancock allowed
just four hits to the Trojans
in Douglas Thursday. She
walked two and struck out
six.
“We had a pretty good
defensive day,” said coach
Angela Crawford. “We had
a lot of singles. Everybody
hit.”
Danielle Burkett was the
only Bear to have a multi-hit
game with two safeties, and
she was the only one to hit
for extra bases.
The team plays again
today in the Watermelon
Invitational in Cordele.

and Heather Langston each
had three hits to pace the
Lady Eagles.
On Thursday, it was Sarah
Purvis’ time to take to the
mound. Against the Lady
Bulldogs she struck out 10
while improving her record
to 5-2. Northside is now 8-2
overall.
Offensively, the Lady
Eagles struck for four in the
second and its last two in the
third. Leading them at the
plate were sisters Holly and
Heather Langston. Holly was
2-for-2 with an RBI, while
Heather was 2-4 with an
RBI.

who went 4-for-4. “She’s
been killing the ball lately,”
Sans said. “I put her in as a
DH and she’s just been hit
ting well.”
Coupled with her perfor
mance was that of Jenna
Clark, Taylor Tucker and
Alexis Ricks, the three
of which combined on the
mound for a no-hitter.

COUNTY 0
Egad! Zounds! Gadzooks!
Those and other expletives
don’t begin to explain Perry’s
28-0 win over Americus-
Sumter County in non-region
softball Tuesday evening.
In a game that ended after
two and a half innings thanks
to the mercy rule, Perry’s
Lady Panthers sent 19 bat
ters to the plate in the first
inning and 20 in the second,
meanwhile racking up 13
hits and taking advantage of
16 walks and five Americus
errors.
“We’ve got a lot of games
this week we should win,”
said Perry head coach Jeff
Sans, “But we have to take
care of business.”
The win evened Perry’s
record to 5-5 with games
against Central on Thursday
and then the Watermelon
Tournament in Cordele
Friday and Saturday before
starting the meat of its
region schedule the next
week against Peach County
and Southland.
Sans didn’t try to run up
the score. He played every
one on the bench and held
his base runner to one base
at a time, but he couldn’t
keep his batters from putting
metal to ball.
“I want them to hit line
drives and ground balls,”
Sans said. “We don’t want to
make mistakes in the field.”
Perry’s starting pitcher
Katie Claxton allowed two
base runners in two innings.

Westfield right fielder Daryl Ann Thompson retires the side
in the team’s game against Deerfield-Windsor Tuesday.
WESTFIELD
From page iB
turned two double plays,
but also had two errors.
It was an error on a field
er’s choice grounder, along
with a wild pitch and an
infield single, which gave
Deerfield-Windsor two run
ners in scoring position with
one out in the first inning.
Gilliam used an off-speed
delivery to record her first
strikeout, and a groundout
ended what would be the
visitors’ best scoring threat
of the day.
Hornet leadoff hitter
Mason Moreland had two
hits. Her one-out bunt
single in the third led to
Westfield’s first run. Sydney
Smith also had a hit that
inning.
With two outs, Moreland
made a delayed steal attempt

Perry first baseman Ashton Jones fields the ball for the
last out in the Lady Panthers’ game at home Tuesday
against Americus-Sumter.
Americus’ Jayme Gilbert
opened the game with a soft
grounder she beat out for
a hit, but she was erased
on a force at second and
in a heads-up play, Perry’s
first baseman Ashton Jones
grabbed the rebound on the
overthrow at first to nail
Americus’ Sadie Ricketts as
she tried to advance to sec
ond.
Jones threw a strike to
shortstop Tiffany James
who tagged Ricketts two feet
before the second base bag.
In the second inning,
Claxton walked the first
Americus batter who stole
second, but Claxton struck
out the next two batters and
Perry third baseman Kaila
Ransom snared a grounder
and her throw to first ended
the inning.
“We as a team are learn
ing how to win,” Sans said.
“We’re developing a winning
mentality.
“In every inning, on every
pitch, we’re going to get after
it.”
of third. That induced a wild
throw from the Knights
allowing Moreland home.
Moreland was also heads
up from her second base
position in turning a fourth
inning double play. With a
runner on first, Deerfield
bunted, and Moreland took
the throw at first. She then
fired to third base in time to
get a second out.
Smith also had a second
hit as her bunt single began
the home sixth. Darryl
Ann Thompson bunted
her way on base, moving
Smith to third so she could
score on Gilliam’s ground
out. Christine Campbell,
an eighth grader playing
both catcher and third base,
nailed a first-pitch RBI dou
ble to center.
Moreland was responsible
for Westfield’s other dou
ble play with a putout and
assist to end the game.
With that in mind, Sans
started substituting in
Perry’s half of the second
inning, replacing five of the
nine starters.
Every player on Perry’s
roster batted at least twice
an inning.
Alexis Ricks came on in
the top of the third to close
out the game. She struck out
the first two batters, and sec
ond baseman Haley McCarty
fielded a slow roller but
nailed the batter at first on a
close play to end the game.
Sans admitted the game
wasn’t much of a test for his
team, but pointed out that it
still helped because his play
ers made the plays they had
to. Of the thirteen hits, two
were sharply hit doubles into
the gap, and other 11 hits
were ground balls, mostly
through the middle.
The sole mistake in the
field was the over throw at
first in the first inning in an
attempt to complete a double
play, and good play by Jones
expunged the mistake.
