Mounties get payback against the Indians

By John Goolsby For the Tribune

IRONDALE – Shades Valley (5-3) avenged an early season loss to the Wetumpka Indians (5-4) with a 7-6 victory Monday night.

“This is the day you get your lick back,” was the message from Shades Valley Head Coach Darryl Dunbar to his team Monday night.

The Mounties won the game in dramatic fashion. With the game tied at 6-6 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Jacob Mahand hit a game-winning RBI to score Jacaryous Burrow.

The Indians got on the board first with a run in the first inning on an error. Valley tied the game on an RBI by Mahand that scored Burrow. Mahand then scored on an error to give the Mounties a 2-1 lead after one inning.

In the third inning, Wetumpka tied the score on another Mountie error. The Mounties then went up by two runs, 4-2, on a second Indian error that scored Burrow and Avery Prichard.

cellor finished the game out, throwing three innings out of the bullpen and allowing just the one run.

Almost all hitters got a hit in the game and most of them had at least one RBI. Springville tallied 14 runs on 14 hits in the game and Shelby Hathcock had a solo home run in the second. Layla Bradshaw, Ashlyn Cooley and Emmy Leopard led the team with 2 hits each.

The Panthers’ only score would come in the fourth inning, making the final 14-1.

Springville improves to 6-0 and has a long break before they head to Fairview on Tuesday, February 7.

The fourth inning saw Wetumpka add two runs on two RBIs, and Valley’s Izzy Davis scored on yet another error by the visiting team. The Mounties led 5-4 as the two teams headed to the fifth inning.

The Mounties, with two men on in the bottom of the fifth inning, were threatening to extend their lead, but the Indians turned a nifty double-play to keep the game a one-run affair.

Wetumpka then put two quick runs on the board in the top of the sixth inning to take a 6-5 lead. With one out, Prichard came on in relief of Steven Manley. The Indians were retired after an infield pop fly and a strike- out by Prichard. The Mounties tied the game at 6-6 after Timothy Nelson scored on a wild pitch.

Prichard kept the Indians off the board with a po fly and two strikeouts in the top of the seventh to set the Mounties up for the exciting finish.

Manley got the win for the Mounties. The righthander threw 90 pitches in five and a third innings, al-
