  • Softball: Little's one-hitter leads Cards over Warhawks

    1 week ago | news-graphic.com | Kal Oakes

    Perhaps the biggest factor in this year’s outcome: There’s never a convenient place on the schedule to take your licks against one of the best pitchers in the nation. SC senior Ada Little spun a one-hitter with nine strikeouts and no walks, vaulting the No. 7 Cardinals to a 4-0 home verdict over the No. 14 Warhawks. “Ada pitched lights out tonight.

The ensuing line drive by Will Rose was plenty to plate a hobbled Justin Stevenson and shove SC to a 4-3 walk-off win, its second over a formidable foe from across the county line in as many nights.

    Case in point: There are three nights this season when Dre Boyd, a gifted guard out of Bowling Green’s Warren Central who started his post-secondary career at Talladega College in Alabama, scored only two points. “All season, that’s the main thing. We’ve got so many good guys,” Boyd said.
