Post 21 softball falls on road to complete regular season

Shelby- The Burke County Post 21 fastpitch softball team completed the regular season Thursday at Cleveland Community College in a 2-0 defeat to host Shelby Post 82.

In this American Legion Area 1 non-conference seven-inning contest, Post 21 was able to shine defensively with two incredible outfield catches by centerfielder Madilynn Taylor and a passed ball from catcher Jasmine Webb to third baseman Myra Twitty to tag out a runner.

Post 21 pitcher Nikki Smith also went the distance for a complete game performance striking out four Shelby batters and only allowing three hits and no walks.

Post 82 made the difference in the offensive side of the game scoring a run in the first and fifth innings as Post 21 left ten runners on base.

The bases were first loaded for Post 21 in the fourth inning with Kira Suttles leading off the inning with a walk and Kaylee Redwine (error) and Bridget Patrick (bunt single) also getting on base.

Suttles later added a sixth-inning double with Redwine and Hailey Snodgrass being issued walks to again load the bases but to no avail.

Post 21 (12-5) will now look ahead to the Area 1 region playoffs starting Monday back home at Catawba Meadows Park.
