Marshall County’s Cal Ripken 12U Softball All Stars have entered the 2012 World Series Championship Bracket after going 4-1 in pool play.
The Tennessee team is accomplishing something they really haven’t grasped yet. Head coach Danny Hollingsworth told TSNSports Monday “that the team is playing its best ball.” He said “they just don’t realize what they have accomplished.”
Marshall County continued its dominance Monday morning with a 10-0 win over Hazlet, NJ. With the win, Marshall County got some much needed time off before facing Prairie Village, KY, who upset the defending champion Oviedo, FL all-stars 1-0.
Marshall County’s pitching has been excellent in all their games. Samantha King picked up her second win of the World Series with a 10-0 shutout over Hazlet, NJ in the first game of championship bracket play for Marshall County on Monday.
Leah Hollingsworth also had a big game with one hit in three at bats, but scored three runs and stole two bases, including a swipe of home as part of a double steal in the second inning.
