Everybody knows you can’t win a baseball game with one player. It takes a whole team; all nine batters in the lineup, all four infielders, all three outfielders, not to mention a pitcher and a catcher. Every single player has to do their job, and sometimes more, to win a baseball game. 

Last week, Elmore County’s Shelton Darnell tried his hardest to prove that theory wrong. There was a storm moving in over Eclectic as the Panthers took on the Beauregard Hornets in the first game of a three-game area series.
