MERIDIAN —
It took eight innings, three hours and 50 combined hits, but the Clarkdale slow-pitch softball team finally outlasted host Southeast Lauderdale 29-25 on Monday.
The Bulldogs scored in every inning, plating six runs in the second, seven in the fifth and four each from the sixth through eighth innings.
Heather Harwell led that onslaught, going 6-for-7 with a home run, two doubles and six RBIs. Shana Elmore added two doubles and four RBIs on four hits, while Lauren Thrash was walked five times. Molly McLeod, Shelby Blackwell, Alex Riser and Breanna Ivey all had three hits.
Southeast, which banged out 21 hits in the losing cause, was led by Nancy Williams, who went 4-for-5 with a home run. Katie Dawson also added four hits for the Tigers, who got three hits, including a home run and a double from Brianna Roulier. Lauren Yeager chipped in with three hits, while Dori Timms smashed a game-tying, pinch-hit, three-run home run. Denisha Knight drew six walks.
Clarkdale, which improved to 5-4, travels to West Lauderdale today, while the 7-2 Tigers host Union.
