Benjamin Russell narrowly falls to Stanhope Elmore despite massive comeback effort

Darius Goodman / Tallapoosa Publishers The hop right before the long throw back across the field during practice for this Benjamin Russell softball player.

It wasn’t a high-scoring affair until the third inning but it was a valiant effort for the Benjamin Russell Wildcats in the loss to Stanhope Elmore.

The Mustangs jumped ahead early in the first two innings scoring six unanswered runs. In the first inning of play, the Mustangs got started early with a single from Shakeria Washington. An error allowed Washington to reach third and a little bit of small ball from Rikki Mcadams with a sacrifice bunt brought in the first run of the game.
