Police arrest Camp Hill shooting suspect

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Jamicheal Jaquise Moss was arrested Friday after police say he fired shots following a physical altercation that broke out in Camp Hill Thursday.

Camp Hill police chief Danny Williams said Moss, 21, of Camp Hill was involved in several shooting inci-

dents around Camp Hill on Thursday afternoon and evening.

Police were first called to an altercation on Alberta Street.

Crowds could be seen as law enforcement investigated what some bystanders described as a “brawl.”

After things seemed to settle

down, shots rang out after dark.

“About 30 shots were fired,” Williams said. “They took place in a few different spots around Camp Hill.”

Scanner reports said law enforcement officers responded to numerous locations in Camp Hill for the second round of incidents including Martin Luther

King Jr. Boulevard and Alberta Street again.

Williams said the department had warrants for Moss for shooting into an occupied dwelling, shooting into an unoccupied dwelling and six counts of reckless endangerment.

Williams said anyone who has any information on the events of Thursday See SHOOTING • Page 3

Ornate eggs on Alex City resident’s Easter table

By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer

lexander City resident Myrna Walters likes to go egg hunting for Easter.

However, instead of plastic eggs full of candy, Walters collects Czech-decorated eggs from Kansas for her Easter dinner table.

Walters has collected 50 ornate, decorative eggs in 20 years. Walters said she buys the eggs every time she stops through Wilson and Lindsborg, Kansas, to visit her family.

“To do this you really have to have a skill in art as well as a talent in art to do it, and I think it’s great they’re carrying on a tradition that is of their country,” Walters said.

Walters’ decorated egg collection includes designs such as painted butterflies, hearts and one with The Last Supper etched on it.

“I like the beauty of them and I liked the workmanship of them,” Walters said. “It’s quite a process of them.”

Walters buys at least one egg whenever she travels to Kansas.

Walters said her large eggs are from geese and the small ones are from chickens. Walters said she prefers buying large eggs but she collects them depending on their decorations.

Walters said when she collects eggs she looks for accuracy and craftsmanship.

“You don’t want to get anything that’s

Stephens Elementary plans extra security with office

By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer

Security is about to get amped up at Stephens Elementary School.

Principal Mary Holloway said because Stephens Elementary now has a school resource officer in Alexander City police officer David Johnson, the school will renovate part of its front entryway to include a security office where visitors sign in first.

Holloway said parents will enter the office and hand their ID to Johnson, who will scan them; the information given will be uploaded to the school’s online system. Holloway said parents will still have to sign in at the administration office for record keeping but checking in twice keeps security tight.

“At previous schools I’ve been in I’ve seen it done this way where parents actually have to show their ID at the door, then the ID is scanned into a system and they have a digital badge that’s printed out for them to stick on their clothing,” Holloway said. “It saves time and it makes the visit so much more efficient for the parents.

A Benjamin Russell student who was arrested after showing another student a pistol in his car March 1 was expelled Friday for one year by a 3-0 vote of the Alexander City school board.

“It’s always a hard decision anytime a student is expelled but, again, we want to do what’s right within the law within our policy,” superintendent Dr. Keith Lankford said. “We hope that the student and all students learn from this process.”

The school administration was tipped off about a gun in a vehicle after an altercation occurred between two students on Feb. 28, according to Lankford. The next day when the student arrived at school his vehicle was searched, the gun was found and he was arrested.

The student was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a concealed weapon, according to Alexander City police chief James Easterwood. Lankford previously said the student would face disciplinary action and the weapon never entered any buildings on the school’s campus.

Board members David Sturdivant and Dorothea Walker were not present at Friday’s meeting.

Husband’s stance on adopting child have wife unsure about marriage DEAR ABBY: When I first started dating my boyfriend seven years ago, I told him that I wanted to someday adopt a child. He said he would like his own children first, but adoption would be “cool.”

We now have two children, 5 and 3, and I’m ready to adopt. We’re financially able to support another child, and we both have great careers.

When I recently mentioned adoption to him, he said he has changed his mind and doesn’t want to adopt. He says because we have our own children, he wouldn’t want the adopted baby to potentially feel like the “odd one out.”

Is this something to end an otherwise happy marriage over? Or should I give it one more shot and hope maybe he’ll want to adopt?

I have wanted to do this since I was a little girl, and it is important to me. -- PROADOPTION IN OHIO DEAR PRO-ADOPTION:

DEAR ABBY Advice You and your husband may need professional mediation to reach an agreement that will work for both of you.

Bringing a child who needs a loving family into your home can be managed if everyone is on the same page with it -- including your biological children.

Your husband may not want the responsibility of another child because he has experienced parenthood twice and knows how much is involved in raising them, but the reason he gave doesn’t strike me as valid.

That said, leaving your husband would be no guarantee that you would be in a position to adopt a child alone. There may be other options for you if you want

DEAR ABBY: I read your column daily and notice that you often suggest readers consult a “nutritionist” for assistance with healthy eating, weight loss, etc.

I have been a registered nurse for almost 50 years, and I would like to point out that the professional to be consulted about nutrition is a registered dietitian. A registered dietitian holds a college degree and usually a higher level degree, and teaches to the American Dietetic Association nutritional standard. This is an important distinction.

A nutritionist can be anybody who says they are one.

Registered dietitians do not promote any fad diets and teach proper eating. This is especially important for people with medical diagnoses such as diabetes or heart

disease, among others. But the teaching is for anyone who wants information about healthy eating to maintain good health throughout life.

Some dietitians have private offices, but if your readers can’t locate one, they should ask their primary doctor so he/she can refer them to one. Or call the nutrition department of their local hospital, as there are often classes that can be attended at the hospital.

-- NURSE WHO KNOWS IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR NURSE: Thank you for taking the time to share this information with my readers. Healthy eating is the basis for healthy living.

Council to vote on annexation resolution

By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

The Alexander City City Council will vote Monday on a resolution asking the Alabama Legislature to approve the annexation of four parcels of property, including the Miner’s Cove subdivision.

The other properties involved are the Cross Creek subdivision, an area west of the west entrance to Wind Creek State Park and an area alongside U.S. Highway 280 east of Sturdivant Road.

City community development coordinator Al Jones said the developer of Miner’s Cove requested annexation.

“It will save time,” Jones said. “The main point is to get Miner’s Cove, which is a new lake subdivision. The developer wants to be able to put in his packet that (the subdivision) is in the city limits.”

The resolution says the city will not expand its police jurisdiction if the annexation is approved but it will receive revenue from current and future development in the areas with minimum cost to the city for maintaining roads and rights of way.

The properties would be annexed into Alexander City as islands.

Mayor Jim Nabors said Tallapoosa County wanted to require more width to the lots of the properties involved.

The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. in the courthouse downtown. The only other item on the agenda is consideration of a resolution to approve contractors for weed control.

makes it so much more formal for the parent and then it makes the community aware that we are keeping our kids safe here at school.”

Holloway said the school will work on renovations at the end of spring break, which is next week, and the office will be ready by end of April.

Johnson currently serves as the SRO not only for Stephens Elementary but also at Jim Pearson Elementary School.

“We’ve had a very positive response so far from the parents of the faculty and staff and I love going down the hallway and getting fist bumps and high-fives from kids,” Johnson said. “That makes my day.”

Holloway said having an SRO and the front office is important especially after a fire alarm went off during the school’s Black History Month program and she noticed the students looked scared.

“With police presence, people stay calm and feel safe,” Holloway said.

Holloway said having Johnson around the school helps students trust police officers.

“They get to see police as somebody who protects them, who keeps them safe, who keeps them sound and provides a level of security,” Holloway said. “They see the police out in the community.

They see the police out here in the school and it helps them to know that school and community are all one entity.”

Holloway said Johnson will join the school’s counseling program as part of the school’s curriculum next year.

“Our ultimate goal is to be the liaison for the parents, for the community, the kids and the school to bridge that gap that we’re here to work for them,” Johnson said. “We’re here to provide the safest school system we can provide for our students.”

School board correct to expel BRHS student

T

he Alexander City Board of Education took stern and appropriate action Friday by expelling for a year a Benjamin Russell student who showed a handgun to another student earlier this month.

“It’s always a hard decision anytime a student is expelled but, again, we want to do what’s right within the law within our policy,” superintendent Dr. Keith Lankford said. “We hope that the student and all students learn from this process.”

The weapon never entered any buildings on the BRHS campus, Lankford said. Instead, the gun was confiscated from a vehicle on the gravel parking lot in front of the gym.

By all accounts, the school, school system and Alexander City police reacted promptly and properly — authorities cannot take chances with the lives of their students and employees.

It’s true in days gone by, especially at rural schools, many students openly carried rifles and shotguns in their pickup trucks. But in those days nobody would have dreamed of the mass shootings that are unfortunately so prevalent in today’s society.

It should also be noted another student who reportedly got into an altercation with the first student the day before notified school officials of the presence of the gun and we commend that young person for taking positive and responsible action.

The school board had to take a tough stance and it did, following its own guidelines as well as those of the state.

A lack of discipline usually leads to problems and the school board made sure it wasn’t lacking.

Hopefully officials will never have to respond to a live shooter at any of our schools.

Pelosi trying to protect Dems from lunatic left

H

ouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) announcement she is “not for impeachment” has caused resistance on the left. Pelosi is not trying to protect President Donald Trump. She is trying to protect the Democratic Party from its lunatic fringe. It’s an increasingly difficult challenge.

Pelosi is the first House speaker in six decades to return to the job a second time. But the Democratic majority she now presides over is much different from the one she led in 2007.

Since the 2018 midterm elections that gave her back the speaker’s gavel, her party has gone off the rails.

First, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D-NY), hijacked Pelosi’s agenda by announcing her Green New Deal — an upward of $90 trillion-plus miasma of government spending that proposes to provide everyone with healthcare, a government jobs guarantee, free education, medical leave, job training, retirement security and universal basic income to support those who, as she put in her infamous talking points, are “unwilling” to work. And that’s before we even get to the energy and environmental policies.

After that troubled rollout, Pelosi tried to dismiss the plan as the “green dream or whatever they call it” and declared it “will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive.”

Pelosi favors a more modest, realistic agenda of bolstering Obamacare, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, building infrastructure, passing gun restrictions and other conventional Democratic priorities. But many Democrats do not share her lack of enthusiasm

MARC THIESSEN Columnist for full socialism. Virtually every Democratic presidential candidate has some kind support for the Green New Deal, making a socialist takeover of the American economy the centerpiece of the Democratic Party’s agenda.

That’s bad enough. But Pelosi has also had to deal with the mess created by another left-wing insurgent, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., whose anti-Semitic remarks have exposed a virulent strain of anti-Jewish hatred that is gripping the left.

A resolution condemning Omar’s anti-Semitism faced such intense internal opposition that Pelosi had to replace it with a watereddown version that condemned not just anti-Semitism but also all forms of hate — including “anti-Muslim discrimination and bigotry against minorities” — rendering it meaningless.

Pelosi’s next move was to try and head off a suicidal impeachment drive gaining strength on her left flank.

Anticipating that special counsel Robert Mueller may not find incontrovertible evidence that Trump engaged in a criminal conspiracy with Russia to steal the 2016 election, Pelosi announced that “unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path.” That won’t stop Rep. Rashida Tlaib, (D-MI) who vowed on taking office “to impeach the (explicit)” and has announced she plans to introduce a resolution to

start impeachment proceedings.

Pelosi knows that such an impeachment effort would divide Democrats and might not even pass the House.

And even if it did, there is zero chance two-thirds of the Senate would vote to convict Trump for something other than a criminal conspiracy with Russia. A failed impeachment would energize Trump’s base, raise Trump’s approval ratings and alienate the very suburban voters Democrats just peeled away from the GOP to win the House majority in the 2018 midterms. Most important, she knows it would distract Democrats from the agenda Pelosi wants to pursue. “It’s an opportunity cost in terms of time and resources,” she told Rolling Stone magazine.

During a private meeting this week, Pelosi reportedly asked House Democrats, “Do we want to drag him down or do we want to lift people up?” The answer from the Resistance is becoming clear: Drag him down!

Pelosi wants to do more than resist; she wants to govern. She wants to enact legislation. To do that, Democrats need to win back the Senate and the White House in 2020.

But the Ocasio-CortezOmar-Tlaib wing of the party seems determined to undermine that strategy by pursuing a platform of socialism, anti-Semitism and impeachment. If they prevail, not only will Trump not be impeached — he’ll also likely become a two-term president.

Letter to the Editor

Leave judgments about Bible signing to the author Dear Editor, In the March 13 Alexander City Outlook there is a political cartoon depicting an upsidedown copy of the Bible autographed by President Donald Trump.

I am not a fan of Bibles being autographed by celebrities and although I am a passionate social/economic conservative who identifies strongly with the Republican Party, I am not in the “super fan” camp of our president. I am a fan, though, of any president who takes time to console and be present for grieving victims and who complies with

these victims’ simple request he sign their Bible.

What it was, simply, was a meaningful gesture to those who had lost homes, possessions and, worse, family members to the storms. What it was not was a theological, ideological or political issue. So I am extremely bothered by the not-so-subtle cheap shot taken by the cartoon artist and The Outlook in publishing such a slam at what happened when Trump rightly and compassionately visited the survivors of the Beauregard tornado. This cartoon image callously used a horrific event and its victims to take a pointless swipe at the president. Whether you agree

with the idea of autographs in your Bible or not and whether you are firmly in the anti-Trump camp or not, cut these folks and our president some slack as it was a simple request by victims in the middle of their own personal crisis.

I’m disappointed The Outlook would so thoughtlessly publish this self-righteous image appearing to indicate the cartoon artist and The Outlook are the judge of all that is appropriately holy. I’m sure you, like I, would rather leave that in the hands of the one who is.

Beth Lamberth Alexander City

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be more diÉ&#x2030;cult or moodier than you think. Others steer clear and avoid arguments with you. They sense your quirkiness or unpredictability. Their actions could prevent a hassle.

Tonight: Letting oÉ&#x2C6; steam.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your instincts guide you. When the time is right, you will naturally speak the right words to create what you want. You cannot force this moment, but know that it will happen. Just tune in to your inner vibes. Tonight: Speak your mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your sixth sense guides you. At the same time, this intuitive ability lets you know when you have gone overboard. You might need to change your plans to accommodate another person. Conversations open up new doors. Go for it. Tonight: The later it gets, the happier you will be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Do not underestimate your desirability or ability to attract others.

You could be dismayed by another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s controlling behavior. Be Ă&#x2026;attered that this person wants to control you, even if it is impossible.

You know he or she is interested in you. Tonight: Stick to your budget!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might feel oÉ&#x2C6; for a good part of the day. Yet, as evening comes on, you suddenly feel revived. Do not cancel plans; rather, go out and enjoy yourself. You draw what you most desire. You cannot hold back anymore. Why should you? Tonight: Beaming in what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Make the most of the daytime hours. You could Ă&#x201E;nd a child or new friend to be challenging and willful. Ask yourself how deeply involved you might want to become with his or her games. Surround

yourself with friends. Tonight: Make it early.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) An unusual tension builds when you are out and about. Perhaps you think you need to project a certain image. You feel as if someone is scrutinizing you and your choices. This sense of being overly watched could easily prove to be right. Tonight: Nap. Wherever you are, the party happens.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) One-on-one relating takes you down a new path where excitement happens naturally. Be willing to take a risk or a leap of faith. Honor a fast change of mood. At that point, you want to be more visible and available. Tonight: Out at a favorite spot.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) One-on-one relating is highlighted, though you might Ă&#x201E;nd it diÉ&#x2030;cult to be close to a loved one today.

Your moods do not seem to work well together. Fortunately, this is but a phase. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could Ă&#x201E;nd it diÉ&#x2030;cult to defer to another person and allow him or her to tinker with your plans. Avoid a power play, if possible. You can Ă&#x201E;nd time for what you want to do tomorrow or late today. Tonight: Be a duo.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Get past the errands and to-dos for the weekend. You will want to kick back and relax with a loved one or potential suitor later on. You cannot deny one part of your life for another! Tonight: Where the action is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your creativity might be called upon to deal with several bumps in the road. You could Ă&#x201E;nd a friend to be demanding and needy. Opening up talks could be close to impossible at Ă&#x201E;rst. Tonight: Let go and enjoy.

The

BEST FINISH YET

It’s important to always be a good team player

A

few weeks ago, I wrote a column about respecting your coaches. Coaches put in a lot of time and energy into trying to make their players not only better student-athletes but also better people.

But what’s possibly even more important than respecting your coaches is respecting your teammates.

I recently covered a soccer game and — without naming any names — I was extremely discouraged by something I saw on the field. (Disclaimer: This behavior was not from a local athlete, thank goodness, because I like to think our kids in Tallapoosa, Coosa and Elmore counties have more sense than this).

The first thing I was disturbed by was the player in question asking his coach to either take himself or one of his teammates off the field, as he didn’t want to play next to said teammate.

Then when a goal was allowed by one of his teammates, the player proceeded to scream at the goalkeeper saying it was his job to protect the net.

OK, so first of all, let’s just go with never yell at your teammates on the field. It’s one of the most disrespectful things you could ever do. It shows bad sportsmanship and just plain bad character.

Secondly, consider this further, it’s never one player’s fault. The goalkeeper wouldn’t have had to make the save if the defense had’ve kept the ball out of the backfield. The defense wouldn’t have had to protect the keeper if the midfield controlled player better. And the midfield wouldn’t have to be so strong if the offense was putting the ball in the back of the net.

This analogy doesn’t just hold true in soccer either. This goes for all team sports; it’s a team effort and just like one bad play can’t decide a game, that one bad play usually isn’t just one person’s fault.

Most importantly, though, teammates and athletes are human beings. They make mistakes. Just like it’s uncool to blame a ref for a loss, it’s also not the right thing to do to kick someone when they’re down. Unless you’re the perfect player — which no one is, by the way — you have no right to scream at a teammate for something he or she did wrong.

On second thought, even if you are the perfect player (which you’re still not, by the way), you don’t have a right to yell at your teammates. It’s perfectly fine to try to pump up a teammate or “put him in his place” if the effort isn’t there or you’re trying to show her how to do something better. But there’s a time and a place to do that, and more importantly, there’s a way to do that where you’re clearly showing your teammate support while also trying to help them.

I was encouraged to see the player in question was benched for the second half of the soccer game, and I was impressed the coach was willing to instill that punishment despite it being one of his better players and his team being down by several goals.

Hopefully the kid learned his lesson. Like I said, I don’t know him personally and he’s not a player I cover regularly, so I’m hopeful it was just a bad day for him. But let a story like this be a lesson. Your teammates, whether they’re as talented as you and as “good” as you or not, put in just as much work as you do and they deserve just as much respect.

BRHS takes 2nd at Eufaula tourney

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Benjamin Russell’s fishing team keeps inching closer and closer to the top, as it took second place at the Alabama Student Anglers Bass Fishing Association tournament at Lake Eufaula last weekend. While the Wildcats won a few district competitions during the fall season, it was their best finish at a regional tournament. They were just seven points behind winner Briarwood Christian.

Hamp Meadows was the top finisher for the Wildcats, taking eighth overall despite fishing by himself. Meadows is usually partnered with Wilson Hays, who was playing in a baseball doubleheader last weekend, but Meadows still managed to bring in five bass weighing in at 9.71 pounds.

Jackson Kelly and Camden Adair

followed closely behind Meadows, squeezing into the top 10 with a bag total of 9.59.

Taking 18th were Jackson McMichen and Garrett Jones, who bagged 8.51, and Jacob Jones and Brandon Huff were just outside the top 20, capturing 21st overall with a total weight of 7.97 despite catching only four fish.

Mary Beth Coker and Slade Davis slid into the top 40 by catching three fish totaling 4.85 pounds.

While Horseshoe Bend finished just 22nd in the team standings, it did have one boat do exceptionally well. Grayson Walls and Wes Young captured seventh place overall. Despite catching only four fish, Walls and Young’s bag weighed in at 9.93 pounds and they had one of the biggest fish of the day at 5.79.

Reeltown didn’t have its best day, as the Rebels took 20th overall and fell

to seventh in the state standings for the ASABFA Series. Reeltown had only one top-10 finish as Mike Lowe and Derrick Hammond weighed in at 4.13 pounds, good enough for 47th. Brody Newman and Taydan were just outside the top 50, coming in 52nd place with 3.66 pounds.

Dadeville’s team struggled as none of its boats caught any fish.

With the second-place finish, Benjamin Russell is now third overall in the team standings and is looking in great shape to qualify for the state championships with one tournament remaining.

Wildcats respond well to tough loss on diamond STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

After a disappointing loss to Tallassee on Wednesday afternoon, Benjamin Russell’s softball team immediately bounced back Thursday night with a big victory over Alabama Christian. The Wildcats had previously lost to ACA twice, once during exhibition play and once during the regular season, but on Thursday, they grabbed a 3-1 victory.

Benjamin Russell (10-8) had only three hits in the win but they were extremely timely ones. Trailing 1-0 heading into the fifth, the Wildcats tied it up as Natori Russell singled with one out then advanced to third on an error and scored on a passed ball.

Knotted at 1-1 after six innings, the Wildcats grabbed a thrilling lead in the top of the seventh. With one out, Asia McWaters reached on an error then the Eagles put the second out on the board with a strikeout. Emma Tapley gave BRHS something to cheer about when she hit a home run to center field, bringing in

McWaters and herself for the ultimate game winner.

Taylor Harris went the distance in the circle, and although she scattered six hits, she allowed only one run while striking out six. She walked just two.

One bad inning causes Dadeville’s downfall

Beauregard scored five runs in the fifth inning and went on to defeat Dadeville’s softball team, 7-5, Thursday night.

The Tigers racked up seven hits in the loss and only three starters did not record at least a single. Tori Giles led the way with two hits, while Cali Jones smacked a double and plated two runs.

Makya Johnson suffered the losses despite giving up just four earned runs, as the Tiger defense struggled with four errors. Johnson scattered eight hits and struck out one but she walked five.

Reeltown takes down Sylacauga

In a rain-shortened game Thursday, Reeltown’s softball team got the best of Sylacauga, 10-6. The Rebels poured in 12

hits en route to the victory.

Chloe Davidson and Marlee Knox led the Reeltown offense; they each had three hits and a pair of RBIs. Morgan McGuire also had two singles.

Davidson and Karlee Cotten combined for the win in the circle, giving up a combined five hits and three earned runs.

Davidson threw 3 1/3 innings and struck out four, while Cotten fanned two batters in 1 2/3 innings of work.

BASEBALL Benjamin Russell defeats Valley, 5-3

Scoring three runs in the second inning and a run each in the two subsequent frames was just enough for the Benjamin Russell baseball team to take down Valley on Wednesday afternoon.

Brock Elliott got things started in the second inning by reaching on an error, and with one out, Cade Brooks and Wilson Hays had consecutive singles, one of which plated Elliott. Joe Young then drew a walk to load the bases and Denzel Greene was hit by a pitch to drive in another run.

Nick McGhee batted into a fielder’s choice to plate another run.

BRHS added a run in the third on an RBI from Cade Brooks and another on a runscoring double from Brooks Vardaman.

John Hayden Johnson earned the win for the Wildcats by throwing the first three innings and allowing just two hits. He struck out two and didn’t walk any. Ryan Slaten, Huell Lumpkin and Elliott all saw time on the mound, and the four combined for six hits, seven strikeouts and only one earned run.

Dadeville sweeps Randolph County

Dadeville’s baseball team earned a pair of victories over Randolph County in an area doubleheader Thursday night.

The Tigers won, 4-1 and 4-0.

Totaling 13 hits in the two games was more than enough for the win. Jake Outlaw led the offense with four hits, including a double and a triple, and Ty Bell also had three singles. Max McClendon and Slade McCullers each recorded two hits.
