WILDCATS FALL TO CORNER IN FIRST ROUND OF PLAYOFFS

SENIOR CLASS LANDED 3 PLAYOFF BERTHS IN 4 SEASONS

The 2008 Softball Season came to an end on Tuesday as the Lady Wildcats fell victim to the 6th-ranked team in Class 4A, Corner Yellow Jackets, 7-2 and 7-1.  The Yellow Jackets posted 3 runs in the first and 3 in the second to take control of Game 1 early.  After settling down in the third, the Cats outscored the Jackets 2-1 in the last 5 innings.  Senior pitcher Amanda Mason made the final start of her career for the Lady Cats and gave up only 2 earned runs in the game.  Three Wildcat errors led to 5 unearned runs for the Yellow Jackets and Guntersville had to regroup for game 2.

Game 2 was a defensive battle through five innings.  Eighth grade pitcher Cara Lee Mason had a two-hit shutout into the 4th inning when a Yellow Jacket reached base on walk.  After a hit-batsman and another walk, the bases were loaded with one out.  Big sister Amanda came in to relieve Mason and forced a pop up and a line out to second to retire the side with no runs scored.  The score at the end of the 4th was 0-0.

The Wildcats posed a threat in the second when Audrey Thomas and Caitlin Stewart walked.  Meredith Moore teed-off on a fastball in and took it over the left field fence, but the would-be 3-run homerun was ruled foul by the homeplate umpire.

In a chaotic 5th inning, Corner scored 3 runs on 1 hit and 3 Wildcat errors, and followed with 4 more in a wild 6th inning on 5 Yellow Jacket hits.  Guntersville got a run in the 6th when Courtney Redington scored on a wild pitch.

The Wildcats finish the season with a 15-29 record, and the 6th-ranked Yellow Jackets will host East Limestone Saturday in a best of three series starting at 3:00.
