20-YEAR CAREER Local veteran Shoemaker had ‘enough’ of combat

By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer

our and a half months in Iraq in 2003 was enough combat for retired U.S. Army veteran and Dadeville resident Scott Shoemaker. As a member of the Army infantry for 20 years, Shoemaker finished his career after leaving Iraq. Shoemaker said it was the general experience of war and PTSD that made him ready to leave. “I was only there for four and a half months and the reason why that is was See SHOEMAKER • Page 3

David Burkhalter’s request for a bond hearing has been continued at his attorney’s request. Documents filed with the Randolph County Circuit Clerk’s office show Burkhalter has now hired Montgomery attorney Sherri Lee Mazur to represent him after he was arrested in February on numerous felony counts related to charges of a sexual relationship with a student at Randolph County High School. Burkhalter, 30, of Ashland was a teacher and coach at RCHS. Documents also show District Court Judge Amy Newsome granted Mazur’s request for continuance on several grounds. “…respectfully requests this honorable court continue the bond hearing set on March, 26, 2019,” the motion states. “As grounds therefore, defendant states as follows: Attorney Mazur was retained in this matter on March 20, 2019; Attorney Mazur will be out of town the week of March 25, 2019 through March 29, 2019; neither party will be prejudiced by this delay; and this continuance is not being filed for the purpose of creating unnecessary delay.” Newsome set April 23 as the date for a new bond hearing. The Wedowee Police Department responded to Randolph County High School Feb. 6 after it was alleged Burkhalter was having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old female student. Burkhalter, a former emcee and TV and radio co-host in Alexander City, was charged with two counts of second-degree rape, one count of sodomy, two counts of See BURKHALTER • Page 9

Russell Medical CEO Jim Peace and the staff of Russell Medical are making stops around the area to talk about what Peace calls unique services the rural hospital offers and why Alabama needs Medicaid expansion. One of the first stops Peace made was with nearly 50 seniors gathered at the New Site Senior Center. Peace explained to the group Russell Medical’s idea of continuing to offer medical specialties in a rural setting, but it also needs their help to encourage officials to expand Medicaid in the state. He said in 2010 Alabama officials chose to make Alabama one of 14 states not to expand Medicaid and those are finding it difficult to make ends meet. “It’s not a problem – it’s a crisis,” Peace said. “We cannot afford to do nothing. Without Medicaid expansion, hospitals will be forced to cut services, reduce jobs and some will close. Seventy-five percent of Alabama hospitals are in the red and 88 percent of rural hospitals are in the red.” See MEDICAID • Page 9

Going to prom alone leaves teen odd girl out at table DEAR ABBY: I’m a high school junior, and my school’s prom is coming up. I don’t have a date. I completely understand that I don’t need a date for prom to have fun. However, within my group of friends, we are organizing who will sit at our 18-person table, and I’m the only dateless person at our table, which means I’m the odd one out (eight couples plus me for a total of 17 seats filled). I know I should try to have fun even if I’m the only one by myself, but the situation makes me feel so alone. I asked two different guys if they wanted to go with me: One ended up going with a different girl and will be sitting at our table. The other didn’t want to go with me. How should I handle this situation and be able to have fun at prom, even though I’ll be sticking out as the only person in our entire group who couldn’t manage to find someone to go with -- even

DEAR ABBY Advice as a friend? -- ANONYMOUS IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR ANONYMOUS: I understand why you would feel alone under these circumstances, but the truth is you WON’T be alone. You will be attending the prom with 16 friends. If you concentrate on that, you CAN have a good time hearing music you enjoy, surrounded by friends who are supportive and dancing if you wish to. DEAR ABBY: My partner is addicted to the phone. One day last week she spent seven hours talking to friends. There is one friend in particular she spends upwards of two hours a day

talking to. On weekends they often talk three times in one day. This happens hour after hour, and her friend loves to call at 6 in the evening, meaning we often don’t eat until well after 7. Last week I clocked her at 16 hours on the phone with just this one woman. Do I have a problem here? Or does she? -CALLING OUT IN FLORIDA DEAR CALLING: You both have a problem. Hers is her addiction to her phone. Yours is the inability to convey to her that what she’s doing deprives you of sharing dinners together on a regular schedule, and robs you of time that could be spent communicating with each other. And that presents a danger to your relationship. DEAR ABBY: I am a 27-year-old married man with two kids. They are 4 and 1 years old. I love my little family, and there has been a lot

of “newness” to my life over the past few years. My issue is that I’m starting to feel like I’m losing my identity. I no longer go out with friends because I feel guilty leaving my wife home alone with the kids. I also work a lot, so many nights I come home late and just crash. I have thought about taking a weekend trip alone to sort of reconnect with myself and get some things done, but would that be selfish? -- IDENTITY LOSS DEAR IDENTITY LOSS: It wouldn’t be selfish if you gave your wife the opportunity to take a similar sanity break when she feels the need. Or better yet, find a trusted baby sitter and the two of you go together. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Child saved after vehicle drives into Coosa River in Wetumpka Body pulled from river; 2 arrested By CARMEN RODGERS and DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writers

Two people have been arrested, another died and a 2-year-old child was rescued after a car plunged into the Coosa River at Gold Star Park in Wetumpka during a police chase Thursday night. The body of a male was pulled from the river late Thursday night and eyewitnesses said law enforcement officials took two adults, one male and one female, into custody. Another eyewitness said an unidentified man dove into the water and saved the child. The Alabama Department of Corrections confirmed its officers were conducting a surveillance operation Thursday evening when the subjects fled, leading to a pursuit that ended when the vehicle drove into the river. Arrested were Rufus Brown, 31, and Jonisha Jordan, 21, both of Montgomery, the ADOC said. Agents of the ADOC observed the suspects parked on ADOC property and when they approached the car it sped away, according to the ADOC. The pursuit led to Wetumpka, where the suspects drove into the river. Wetumpka police chief Greg Benton said his department got a call shortly after 8 p.m. and officers were dispatched to Gold Star Park. “Three people were taken out of the river,” Benton said. “One of those was

a 2-year-old who was taken to Elmore Community Hospital.” Eyewitness Jason Grindle said the car being pursued almost hit him during the incident. After following the chase into the park, Grindle said he saw the vehicle as it sank into the river and heard shouts coming from the car’s occupants. “The car almost hit me,” Grindle said. “I followed them and the cops into Gold Star and got there while the car was submerging. The guy was hollering he couldn’t swim and the female was hollering for someone to save her baby. They put a male and the female in custody. The fire department got there really quick and started looking for the car.” Grindle said he didn’t see the woman swimming but figured she must have gotten herself into shallow water from where the car went under. “She was standing knee deep in the water when she was hollering that the car was about 15-20 yards out in the water, so she had to have swam in,” Grindle said. “The baby was floating in the water. I’m not sure if it was ejected or what. The (unidentified) guy found the child just south of where the car submerged. The car had been submerged for a minute or two when the child was saved. The guy was having some difficulty when swimming back in and was screaming for help himself but made it back in. He was beating on the child’s back and it spit out a

Shoemaker because there’s 20 of us in our battalion who were going to retire and I was the first one,” Shoemaker said. “In that four months, that was enough (combat).” Shoemaker said he is 100 percent disabled due to diabetes and PTSD, but still serves as the commander of the Disabled American Veterans Bill Nichols Chapter 13 and is a part of the Dadeville American Legion. Shoemaker said he likes taking part in these groups. “Part of that satisfaction I get is the local veterans who do need help, I can help,” Shoemaker said. Shoemaker served in the Army from 1984 to 2004 and said he joined the military when he was 17. In the infantry, Shoemaker did normal field activities. “I grew up in a welfare family and I didn’t want that kind of life so I chose the military,” Shoemaker said. “It was

continued from Page 1 great for the first 19 years.” Shoemaker was deployed and stationed all around the world including Germany, Louisiana, Korea, Utah, Italy, Spain, Bosnia and Macedonia. “I can get by with my German only to get me in enough trouble,” Shoemaker said. “Even though (I spent) nine years in Germany I never could really pick it up.” Shoemaker said his favorite place to serve was in Macedonia where he stayed for nine months and ran a checkpoint. Shoemaker said the natives were friendly in Macedonia. “The culture there was so (nice),” Shoemaker said. “It was so friendly even though we were under the UN and (the residents) were open to us even though that they knew we were the Americans.” Shoemaker experienced combat in Bosnia and Iraq. Shoemaker retired as

a staff sergeant in Fort Hood, Texas, in 2004. Shoemaker worked as a contractor from there before working in Kuwait. Shoemaker moved to Dadeville in 2010 after answering an advertisement for Lyman Ward Military Academy. Shoemaker worked there as a training advisor counselor on and off for five years. Shoemaker lives with his wife of 16 years, Harshila, and their pet dogs, cat, fish and chickens in Dadeville. Scott and Harshila met in Fort Hood. Shoemaker is also involved in the Lions Club in and Mason Lodge in Alexander City. Shoemaker said his favorite part of the military was the camaraderie with his fellow soldiers. “I still stay in touch with some of those people even today,” Shoemaker said. “I’ve had friends now going on 35 years.”

Seeing the light on solar power

“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” — Pablo Picasso

Today’s

ayden Carr, who is 4 years old, became fascinated by solar panels when they were explained to him by his father, Dr. Jeremy Carr, who teaches at Central Alabama Community College. When Jayden grows up, he will likely reap the benefits of clean energy generated by the sun because the technology continues to improve. The Alabama Municipal Electric Authority, which supplies electricity to Alexander City, is already becoming more involved in solar because it is becoming more economical to deliver. “In the next three to five years, I think we could draw as much as 7 percent of our energy from solar,” AMEA president and CEO Fred Clark said during the dedication of a solar power research facility in Alex City. “The panels are coming down in cost to get to the scale to be economical. When we get to that scale, we’ll reduce the amount of energy we buy from coal and natural gas sources. And solar energy has a fixed price. In another 10 to 20 years, energy costs will likely go down due to technology like this.” The Alex City solar panels produce just enough to supply five to seven average-sized houses, Clark said. But the AMEA is going to build a 1,000-acre solar facility to produce much more. That large-scale facility probably won’t be located in Alex City but our community will benefit from solar power going forward. Perhaps Jayden Carr is already becoming inspired to be part of groundbreaking efforts to use the sun to provide enormous quantities of cheap, reliable electricity. Dr. Carr said Jayden was thrilled to go to the dedication to see the solar panels. “When we pulled up here, he said, ‘Get ready Daddy, here come the solar panels,’” Dr. Carr said. Here they come indeed. The light bulb has come on.

Friday’s question: Have you had your car washed recently?

Cesspool of college admissions revealed

f you were laboring under the illusion the admissions process at elite colleges is a meritocracy, stop. The college admissions cheating scandal comes as no surprise for those who have watched the process over the years. Parents want their kids in good schools because that reflects on them, not the kids. It does not matter if you are Jared Kushner’s dad getting him into Harvard by funding a building or Forrest Gump’s mom doing the Greenbow Middle School principal to advance her son. Forrest, who never thought of himself as disadvantaged, endeared himself to a nation. And then one day, for no particular reason at all, the college admissions process was revealed to the nation for what it really is. The whole nation thinks now the kids of a “Desperate Housewives” star and the “Full House” mom, among others, took their children’s spots at Yale. “If not for that and a 925 SAT and a 2.2 on what seems to be a sixpoint high school grading scale now, our kids would have those spots!” Shaking their fists, the people scold “the wife of that guy in ‘Fargo!’” But here’s the good news from a Tennessee redneck who is so white I make Tucker Carlson look like a runaway slave. It does not matter what school you attend; it matters who you are and what value you bring to the free market that will determine your life. I went mostly to a very public school, the University of Memphis, and then had a cup of coffee at one of the schools named in the scandal, Georgetown. All I can

RON HART Columnist tell you is 99 percent of an Ivy-like school education is getting in. They graduate almost everyone for little effort where state universities do not. And you wonder how I got into Georgetown? By Photoshopping my face as one of a pairs ice-dancing team with an AfricanAmerican partner. Yes, I was way ahead of my time. Entitled grade inflation and social justice curricula have devalued a top-25 college degree enough; this admissions scandal should erase all doubt. Instead of covering it for what it is (liberal Hollywood elites and law firm heads cheating the system), leftist media have turned microphones on minority students asking them if they feel the system is rigged. Of course they say yes and go on to say the struggle is real. But keep in mind this same system gives African-American applicants a 230-point “bonus” on their SAT scores. Michael Jordan’s and Magic Johnson’s sons get into Harvard with a 230-point discount on their SAT versus a white kid growing up in a trailer park in Appalachia. As Asians are finding out with their lawsuit against Harvard, the system has long been rigged. This scandal just revealed it. It comes down to supply and demand: the scarcity of Ivy League spots. When I was in college, everybody wanted Coors beer since it was scarce and available only west

of the Mississippi River. Now no one wants the watered-down beer, which is the official beer of child custody hearings. I told my kids no matter what the essay question on their SAT, be sure to work Dr. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Barack Obama and white privilege into their answer. And say something about getting water to kids in Africa, which seems to work. Say you teach scrapbooking techniques to the homeless and see if the judges get the irony. Consider it creative writing and be sure to mention the time you were nice to that loner at camp. They eat that crap up. It worked; my kids went to Vanderbilt, UGA and Columbia. We have all learned something here. For example, I did not know USC was hard to get into. I thought it was a party school, where instead of tuition they just had a cover charge each quarter and stamped the back of your hand to show you were in. But I do like Erin Foster (famous kid who has done well sans college). The 36-yearold comedy writer took to Instagram to post her dad’s funny note. “Thank God you didn’t want to go to college,” her 70-yearold Grammy Awardwinning music producer wrote. “I’d be in jail right now!” The good news is Congress is on this. Finding out massive bribes were paid to people other than themselves, congressmen are angry. A libertarian op-ed humorist and award-winning author, Ron Hart is a frequent guest on CNN.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) When you focus on someone or something, your intensity can be felt by many people around you. Before you draw someone in, make sure you really want to. The disappointment that this person could experience after such intensity could be rough. Tonight: Be thoughtful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have several choices among plans and company. Only you know what makes you most content. Now is the time to manifest a long-term desire. Just make sure you really want it. The other party could be only too happy to participate in this adventure. Tonight: Let your imagination take oÉ&#x2C6;. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone comes toward you. This person could be a delight in general, but your focus is elsewhere. How you distance yourself and respond to this person can make or break your bond. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes. Count on a late night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You become nearly childlike in your choices and what goes on. Your aÉ&#x2C6;ection for another person emerges. You can be fun, perky, and perhaps a little shy. The other party could be delighted by your attention. Tonight: Party the night away. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tension soars around the home front. You might feel as if you cannot win, no matter what. Calm down and relax. A loved one lets you know, in no uncertain terms, where he or she is coming from. Be aware of a family memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. Tonight: Throw a party. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be tired and withdrawn. You also might wonder which way would be best to proceed. Do not close down. Rather, deal with the issues at hand. You could be drawn to a diÉ&#x2C6;erent solution than you have been in the recent past.

Tonight: Chat over a relaxing meal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can handle what comes down the pike. Understand the implications of this event on your Ă&#x201E;nances. You might want to back oÉ&#x2C6; before the cost becomes too great. You might need to use your self-discipline. Tonight: Make it your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others look to you for ideas and the possibility of change. You could see a situation diÉ&#x2C6;erently from other people. You might not realize how often people use you as a resource. Tonight: Beam in much more of what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Much is going on behind the scenes. You are likely to lie back and allow others to make the Ă&#x201E;rst move. Following this procedure allows you to relax far more and, at the same time, gather more information. Tonight: Play it low-key. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will zero in on an important priority even if surrounded by a social situation. You know what you want, and you know how to get there. Allow greater give-andtake between you and another person. Tonight: Make the most of the evening. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be at the point of no return. You also may want to adapt and change your ideas and thoughts around an important Ă&#x201E;gure in your life. You will bring others together for an important occasion too. Tonight: Out late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be very tired. Indulge in a get-together only after you have had time for a nap. You will revive your energy as a result. Willingly get together with someone quite diÉ&#x2C6;erent. You might opt to get together with this person and some friends at the movies or a play. You will be able to relax more. Be entertained. Tonight: Whatever feels right.

Medicaid

continued from Page 1

The Alabama Hospital Association said 13 hospitals in Alabama have closed since 2011 a year after the federal government expanded Medicaid. Of those 13, seven are classified as rural hospitals just like Russell Medical. Peace said the hospital had to absorb $4,757,164 in uncompensated care for individuals who did not have insurance and could not afford to pay just last year. The issue is few in Alabama qualify for Medicaid, something he says is insurance and not an entitlement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The average insurance plan is $1,100 a month,â&#x20AC;? Peace said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is not something many around here can afford. We pay taxes and more for it and those monies are going to states who expanded Medicaid.â&#x20AC;? Peace said currently families in Alabama making less than $3,800 a year qualify for Medicaid and that benchmark is 18 percent of the poverty line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By expanding Medicaid to the 138 percent threshold like other states, families of three who make up to $29,000 would qualify. The expansion is an option to expand Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current Medicaid coverage for people who make too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough

to afford insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medicaid is currently health insurance for low-income children, pregnant women, the elderly and disabled. Expanding Medicaid would provide basic health insurance coverage to more than 340,000 individuals in the state, most of whom are working in construction and the service industries.â&#x20AC;? The expansion would also potentially increase reimbursement rates. Peace said the expansion is paid for mostly with federal monies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment would be $167 million this year,â&#x20AC;? Peace said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would get $11.4 billion of federal money if we expanded. You have to pay $1 to get $10. I think that is quite a deal.â&#x20AC;? An expansion would create savings according to the AHA. The savings would be generated in several state-funded programs such as substance abuse programs and mental healthcare. Without Medicaid expansion, Peace says 90,000 jobs in the state are at risk. Without the expansion, he said Russell Medical has already lost providers who can go to other states who expanded Medicaid where they make more money and work less. The AHA says hospitals in Alabama employ

Russell Medical CEO Jim Peace said the expansion is an option to expand Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current Medicaid coverage for people who make too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford insurance.

nearly 90,000 people directly and support an additional 96,000 jobs. The total impact hospitals have on the state economy is $20 billion a year. Peace said Russell Medical has a major impact on Tallapoosa County. He said it is the second-largest employer with 578 employees with a payroll of $34 million yearly and sup-

ports another 618 jobs associated with medical care in the area. Those other jobs stretch in nursing and assisted-living facilities.

BRHS can’t convert in 4-1 loss to Sylacauga STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Outlook

Horseshoe Bend’s Lee Norrell slides safely into second as Central Coosa’s Cruz Godoy looks home on Friday afternoon. Cliff Williams / The Outlook

The Benjamin Russell baseball team had its chances but couldn’t convert baserunners into runs and lost to host Sylacauga 4-1 Thursday. The Wildcats (13-7) left nine runners stranded. Brett Pitts doubled with two outs in the first but a strikeout ended the inning; four runners reached in the second on a walk, two singles and a hit batter but none scored due to a pickoff, a fielder’s choice and groundout; and BRHS wasted a pair of two-out singles in the third. Benjamin Russell’s lone run came in the fifth to cut the lead to 3-1 when Joe Young walked with two outs, moved over on Brock Elliott’s single and scored on an error in right field. Elliott had two of the Wildcats’ five hits and also took the loss on the mound, allowing four earned runs on four hits in five innings. He struck out five and walked two. Pitts finished the last inning.

Coosa drubbed in sweep

Central Coosa’s baseball team was outscored 51-0 in a three-game sweep by Thorsby, including an 18-0 loss Tuesday and 20-0 and 13-0 defeats Thursday. In Thursday’s opener, the Cougars (3-7) managed only Jashaslin James’ double while Thorsby racked up 21 hits. Coosa also committed four errors. It was a scoreless tie until Thorsby exploded for 12 runs in the third. Starter Cruz Godoy took the loss, giving up 12 earned runs on 13 hits in three innings. In the 13-0 loss, Thorsby took a 7-0 lead in the first inning and added five in the seventh on the way to 14 hits. Three Thorsby pitchers combined on a no-hitter and struck out 12. James, who started, took the loss, allowing six earned runs on four hits in 2/3 of an inning.

SOFTBALL Dadeville whacks Comer

The Tigers (5-10) enjoyed a 15-0 victory over B.B. Comer on Thursday as Malorie Meadors pitched five innings of scoreless, onehit ball. Dadeville had just seven hits but took advantage of nine Comer errors. The Tigers led 5-0 in the second and 9-0 after three, then added six runs in the fifth. Skylar Waldrep, Tiffany Rice and Jailee Kirkland each had a hit and two RBIs. Cali Jones brought in a pair of runs without a hit and Zoe Veres had two hits and an RBI.

Mistakes don’t hold Generals back in 12-2 win By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Horseshoe Bend easily handled visiting Central Coosa, 12-2, Friday afternoon but is looking to clean things up offensively. The Generals scored five runs in the fifth inning with doubles from Lee Norrell and Justin Phillips and Chandler Lewis added a single in the frame. While General coach Jason Johnson was happy to get the win at home he said his team has plenty of room to improve. “We still didn’t hit it very well,” Johnson said. “We did capitalize at times.” Central Coosa has a young team and Cougar coach David Stone said the team has been slowly growing. “We are building – always; it happens,” Stover said. “We are trying to build up every year.” Coosa was led at the plate by Cruz Godoy who 2-for-3ps while Steven Hardy took the loss on the mound going, 3.1 innings and giving up six hits and eight runs. Hardy did record five strikeouts. Jashaslin James and Carson Cardwell scored the two runs for the Cougars. Lewis was on the mound to start the game for the Generals and gave up three hits in

four innings. Johnson was proud of Lewis’ effort but said there is room to improve. “He did pretty good,” Johnson said. “He threw a few too many pitches getting into full counts. We need to cut some of those out. He struggled in the first inning but settled down.” Norrell finished out the 10-run-rule shortened game throwing two innings to get the save. Johnson was happy to spread pitching duties around. “We took (Lewis) out to keep his pitch count down because we have a full slate next week,” Johnson said. “I am trying to keep everyone as fresh as I can.” Grant Taylor, Norrell, Kendall Penwell, Justin Phillips and Colby Cheaney plated twice for the Generals. Lewis and Cole Johnson each scored once. Norrell was 2-for-3. Lewis helped himself with two hits as well. Taylor bested all batters going 3-for-4 at the plate. Johnson hopes his team can quickly correct its mistakes when it hosts Reeltown today at noon. “We have got to execute better offensively,” he said. “We left baserunners everywhere due to baserunning mistakes. It is something we shouldn’t be doing especially at this point in the season.”

Trojans sweep with Deleon’s game-winning hit in 10th Hamil holds winning run at third in 9th

By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

Despite hitting a two-run home run in the opener against Snead State on Thursday, the latter stages of the game weren’t going well for Central Alabama’s Pearl Huff. Her dog got hit by a foul ball. And in the top of the fifth inning, she let catcher Chelsea Parker’s surprise pickoff throw to third base get past her and let in two runs to give the Parsons a 5-3 lead. It was still 5-3 in the bottom of the seventh and last inning when the Trojans got two quick outs. “It didn’t look good,” CACC softball coach Greg Shivers said. But Huff and the Trojans responded by scoring three runs to extricate a 6-5 victory. Huff’s RBI single tied it 5-5 before Meredith McClellan singled in the winning run. Sierra Easterwood started the game-winning rally by reaching base on an error. Madison Huston, Parker, Huff and McClellan followed with consecutive singles to win it. Huff went on to slug another two-run homer in the nightcap and sealed the 9-5 victory by snaring Aryelle Jones’ line drive just off the ground to end the game. Huff, the No. 6 batter in the order, was 3-for-7 in the doubleheader with five RBIs. “Pearl had a great day,” Shiver said. And CACC’s pitchers had an excellent day in the absence of ace pitcher Amber Parker, who has missed the last week with the flu. Easterwood threw a complete-game four-hitter to win the opener. In the nightcap, winning pitcher Rayanna Powell, Taylor Phillips and Easterwood combined to allow 11 hits. “Our pitchers found a way to win,” Shivers said. “They did a great job in the circle today. When we gave them the two runs in the fifth inning (of the opener), it was good to see them bounce back. We get two outs and nobody on and win the game.” CACC (21-9, 3-1 in the Alabama Community College Conference) commit-

CACC’s Kayli Hornsby (24) is unable to come up with the throw at second as Snead State’s Presley Whitten slides in on Thursday afternoon. Hornsby had two hits in the opener.

ted four errors in the opener but none in the nightcap. “We made a lot of plays in the second game and took some hits away,” Shivers said. In the second game, Huston was 4-for-4 with four RBIs, Lauren Phillips homered, and Easterwood and Keana Pearson each had two hits for the Trojans, who had 26 hits in the two games. In the opener, Huff, Parker, Kayli Hornsby and Pearson each had two hits. Snead State fell to 11-22, 1-3.

Central Alabama’s baseball team had a knife pressed to its throat in the ninth inning and escaped, then Luis Deleon wedged an opposite-field single in the bottom of the 10th to bring in the winning run as the Trojans rallied to defeat Calhoun 5-4 Thursday and sweep a doubleheader. CACC had rallied from a 3-0 deficit to force extra innings but in the top of the ninth the Warhawks’ Kyle LaRoche bunted and reached third base on a throwing error. With the go-ahead run standing 90 feet away and no outs, CACC closer Drake Hamil got Chance Childers to ground out to Deleon at second base, then struck out the next two batters swinging. Hamil punched the air as Bryson Kirk flailed at the threat-ending pitch. “We made that error in the ninth and they had that runner on third with no outs but Drake got us out of it,” Trojans coach Larry Thomas said. “We persevered. We’re a good team and we battled. The guys know they can win. The only thing we do that is negative is they let teams hang around too much instead of putting them away.” In the bottom of the 10th, Trojans pinch hitter Jacob Frye was hit by a Tanner Burns pitch to lead off, Frye stole second and went to third on Cal Burton’s single. Deleon, the No. 7 batter who had only three RBIs in league games before Thursday, then dug out Burns’ second pitch past the lunging first baseman to bring Frye home. “When he slows everything down he’s good,” Thomas said of Deleon. “With the infield in, we just wanted to put something on the ground and give

us a chance to score a run.” After Calhoun took a 3-0 lead in the third, CACC’s bullpen of Harrison Fant, Trent Thrash and Hamil allowed only one hit the rest of the way. “We don’t have a starter, just a bunch of relievers,” Thomas said. “We use a lot of pitchers but that keeps us fresh.” The Trojans, who committed just one error in 17 innings of play Thursday, improved to 16-12 overall and 7-3 in the Alabama Community College Conference with the sweep after winning the opener 5-2. In that game Donald Stokes had two hits, including a two-run home run in the fifth, and drove in a trio of runs. “We have a good sophomore base,” Thomas said. “Those who went through hell with me last year are giving us good leadership. They don’t let us fold. I think we’re in a good spot if we stay healthy.” Starting second baseman Jeremy Almaguer has missed three weeks with a pulled hamstring but is expected to return Tuesday, Thomas said. In the second game, Mathew Radoslovich had three hits and an RBI, and Deleon and Burton each had two hits and an RBI for CACC, which finished with 10 hits. Starting pitcher Zack Taylor allowed three runs on four hits in three innings. Thrash and Hamil combined for 3.2 innings of hitless relief. In the opener, the Trojans took a 3-1 lead after the first inning and stayed in control. Starting pitcher Connor Brooks got the win, allowing a hit and a run in one inning. Cody Rogers, Thrash and Hamil finished and allowed a combined five hits. Thrash used his overpowering fastball to strike out six in just two innings. The Warhawks fell to 2-19-1 and 1-9.
