While Friday's win was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Caydence Powell. She wasn't messing around on Friday, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits (and not a single walk). The pitching appearance was her fifth straight with two or fewer hits.
Powell's strong effort led Autauga Academy over Montgomery Academy and she'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles are limping into the matchup having lost 15 straight on the road dating back to last season. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Powell and the Generals have enough to stop it? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
