  • Skies open; game called in third

     Following a busy week-end tournament that saw the Lady Red Devils win three of four games, they were back in action March 29, hosting the 4A North Marion Lady Colts.
    The skies were seriously gray and overcast, and the rain was certain to come. It was just a matter of when.

  • Hurricanes flattened by Lady Red Devils

     On  March 11, the Lady Red Devils traveled to Gainesville to play the Lady Hurricanes. The Lady Devils had little trouble with the Canes as they took a 14-0 win in five innings on the 10-run rule.
    The win, however, was costly for the Lady Devils as starting pitcher Tori Stamper injured her pitching hand on a slide into second base. The injury was mainly to the middle finger of her pitching hand. Still showing some bruising and slight swelling on Monday night, Stamper said her hand was much better.
