The Mayor’s Kids surrendered a single run on their way to another win this past week as the season wound down at Bill Page Park, topping Erie Agents 6-1 in Baby Doll action at Bill Page Field.

Matthew Haggard actually accounted for the only run Erie had inits  tilt with the first-place Mayor’s Kids. Haggard got on base thanks to a walk and then was batted in by Trinity Chance who hit a bases clearing double. The score, however, was the only offensive bright spot for the Erie team, the second-inning rally pulling them even with the Mayor’s Kids who had scored a run keyed by a Tristan Cavanah double in the first.

The third inning went all wrong for Erie as the first four batters to the plate scored, including runs by Kloee Walker, Tristan Cavanah, Dayla Cavanah and Ronnie Goff.

The Baby Doll standings going into the final week of play saw the Mayor’s Kids at the top at 8-2 followed by Johnson Chiropractic at 4-4 and DeKalb Insurance and D&S Special Tees tied at 3-6.

Junior league action wasn’t as close as the Bumper’s Blue Jay continued its near-perfect season by holding their opponent to a goose egg, shutting out Pokey’s Bail Bonding 25-0. The only mark on Bumpers was a 10-8 loss to Ludwig Vinyl and Crafts the game before.

Softball fans realized it was going to be a tough game for Pokey’s when Bumpers posted 17 runs in the first inning, with every member of Bumpers scoring during the dizzying scoring rally. Ally Bly and Chrystyan Tate contributed home runs during a one-sided affair while Ally and Halyna Newby had triples. Araya Ittayem, Lilly Waggoner and Aleea Kalmar had doubles. The game was stopped by run rule after Pokey’s had an at-bat in the third.

The Junior League standings going into the final week of play included Bumpers at 10-1, Ludwig at 2-7 and Pokey’s at 2-6.

In senior league action, Prater’s had a slightly harder time in the night cap, knocking off South and Sons by a count of 24-5.

The issue for South was not the beginning but the end of the game as four of its five runs came in the second inning, keeping the game close until Prater’s broke out in the fourth with nine runs.

Sporting a 17-4 lead going into the fifth, Prater’s hosed any hope of a comeback by South as it plated seven runs, spurred on by back-to-back home runs hit by Dalton Bain and Hunter Walker.

Senior League standings going into the final week of play were Praters and NAPA tied for first at 8-3 and South at 2-10.
