Whitmire’s varsity softball team begins their season strong, boasting a 4-0 record after winning a preseason tournament against Blacksburg. Lewisville, on the other hand, halts Whitmire’s winning streak with a decisive 4-0 victory and continues to showcase their dominance in the state championship series.
Whitmire, South Carolina, is buzzing with excitement as the varsity softball team has kicked off their season in spectacular fashion, boasting an impressive undefeated record of 4-0 following a preseason tournament in Clinton, S.C., held from March 6 to March 8. Among the standout moments was the championship game where the Lady Wolverines faced off against Blacksburg, clinching victory with a score of 4-1.
The Lady Wolverines started their tournament journey strong, overcoming Blacksburg in their opening game on March 6, where they dominated with a score of 9-2. The following day, March 7, saw them win again, this time against Laurens, with a close 7-5 finish, securing their place in the championship matchup. In the championship game, it was sophomore pitcher Kenleigh Epps who stole the show, achieving a complete game with a remarkable 11 strikeouts and conceding just six hits. Her performance was further complemented by a collection of eight hits by her teammates, allowing the Lady Wolverines to score four runs and emerge champions.
Notable contributions came from Cierra Jones, Autumn Gilliam, and Alleigh Corley, who each recorded multiple hits during the title game. Their playing prowess helped secure the early victories and build positive momentum as the team prepared for their next challenge against the Lady Bulldogs in Newberry on March 10.
After facing Newberry, the Lady Wolverines will go on the road for four consecutive games before returning home to take on the Lewisville Lions on March 19. The matchup promises to be thrilling, especially considering Lewisville’s recent performance.
On March 14, Lewisville faced off against Whitmire and halted their six-game winning streak with a decisive 4-0 victory. This game marked Lewisville’s 14th straight home win from the previous season, showcasing their dominance on the field. The Lions’ pitching was notably impressive, effectively combating Whitmire’s previous offensive flair that saw them scoring six or more runs in their prior five games.
Lewisville didn’t stop there. They continued their winning ways into the 1A Softball State Championship Series, where they showcased outstanding talent by winning against Whitmire once again, this time by a solid 12-2 score. The Lions scored in all five innings against Whitmire, demonstrating their relentless pursuit of victory. Catcher Jordyn Miller stood out with a two-run home run and a notable batting statistic of 3-for-4.
Meanwhile, pitcher Sarah Owens dominated the mound, racking up 11 strikeouts and yielding just three hits throughout the championship match, solidifying her team’s stronghold. With this victory, Lewisville is making their third consecutive appearance in the state championship series, a remarkable feat, especially after coming up short in their previous two attempts.
The state championship series is all set to begin on May 20, where Lewisville will compete against the winner of the Lower State Championship Series, currently a battle between Lake View and Hannah-Pamplico. The excitement surrounding both Whitmire and Lewisville’s seasons highlights not only their talents but also the vibrant community support that grows with each game.
So, whether you’re a die-hard fan of the Lady Wolverines or cheering for the Lions, this season is shaping up to be something special in Whitmire and beyond!
